Water Analysis |
 |
|
Arolo Company can test the quality of your water to make sure its is safe to drink and acceptable for all other household uses. It is important to determine what contaminants are in your water and at what levels in order to properly diagnose and recommend a treatment will work best for your needs.
|
Typical Types of Testing (but not limited to): |
Coliform Bacteria |
Coliform bacteria originate as organisms in soil or vegetation and in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals (fecal coli). Finding coliform bacteria in a water supply is an indication that there is a potential for disease-producing organisms to be present also.Coliform bacteria washed into the ground by rain or melting snow are usually filtered out as water percolates through the soil. However, poorly-constructed or unsealed wells, fractured rock outcroppings, sinkholes, and quarries may provide a path for coliform bacteria to enter groundwater. Once in the groundwater, bacteria can easily pollute drinking water used by private well owners. |
Nitrates |
Nitrates are nitrogen-oxygen chemical units that combine with various organic and inorganic compounds. Although nitrate is found naturally in many types of food, high levels in drinking water pose a serious acute health threat for infants less than six months of age. Sources of nitrate include fertilizer infiltration in agricultural areas, animal feedlots, sewage absorption fields, municipal and industrial wastewater, urban drainage and decaying plant debris. The excess nitrates not used by the plants are carried through the soil to ground water in a process called "leaching." Once in water, they remain there until used by plants or another organism, or removed by water treatment techniques. |
Hardness |
The most common problem associated with ground water may be hardness, generally associated with an abundance of calcium and/or magnesium dissolved in the water. Hard water has not been shown to cause health problems, but can be a nuisance as it may cause soap curds and deposits to form on pipes and other plumbing fixtures. Over time this can reduce the diameter of the pipes. |
Arsenic |
Arsenic is a semi-metallic element with the chemical symbol "As." It is a member of the nitrogen family, and it occurs naturally in rocks, soils, and waters that come in contact with these rocks and soils. Arsenic is odorless and tasteless. Arsenic can combine with other elements to form inorganic and organic arsenicals. In general, inorganic derivatives are regarded as more toxic than the organic forms. While food can contain both inorganic and organic arsenicals, primarily inorganic forms are present in water. |
