Our Testing Parameters
Discover the key parameters we use in our water testing and understand how they impact our results. These essential tests provide us with valuable insights into the quality and safety of our water.
Air Temperature
Refers to the temperature of the air above the water. We test this because it affects water temperature and ecosystem health
< 21°C
Optimal
> 21°C
Suboptimal
Water Temperature
Refers to the temperature of the water. We test this because it affects aquatic life and chemical processes.
< 21°C
Optimal
> 21°C
Suboptimal
Water Clarity
Is the transparency of water. We test this because it Indicates the presence of suspended particles.
> 30cm
Optimal
< 30cm
Suboptimal
Turbidity
Is the cloudiness or haziness of water. We test this because it measures the concentration of suspended particles.
< 10 NTU
Optimal
> 10 NTU
Suboptimal
pH
Is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of water. We test this because extreme pH levels can be harmful or lethal to wildlife.
7 pH
Optimal
< 5 pH or > 9pH
Suboptimal
Dissolved Oxygen
I the amount of oxygen dissolved in water. We test this because it is essential for aquatic life survival.
6-9 mg/L
Optimal
<2 mg/L
Suboptimal
Nitrite
Is a form of nitrogen in water. We test this because it is an indicator of pollution and water quality.
< 0.1 mg/L
Optimal
> 0.2 mg/L
Suboptimal
Nitrate
Is another form of nitrogen in water. We test this because it indicates nutrient levels and potential eutrophication.
< 1 mg/L
Optimal
> 5 mg/L
Suboptimal
Phosphorus
We test nutrient levels to assess pollution and the risk of eutrophication. Eutrophication occurs when excessive nutrients in a river lead to algae blooms, which can harm aquatic life.
< 0.02 mg/L
Optimal
> 0.8 mg/L
Suboptimal
Phosphate
Is a form of phosphorus in water. We test this because it assesses nutrient levels and potential eutrophication.
< 0.02 mg/L
Optimal
> 0.05 mg/L
Suboptimal
