Water Testing Services

Water testing processes are vital for various industries like Hotels, Food Business Operators, Steel, cement, power, pharmaceuticals, Food and drugs healthcare, and hospitality. The tests are important for obtaining various kinds of licenses and regulatory compliances. Our drinking water testing lab located at Chennai provides testing services like:

  • CONSTRUCTION WATER TESTING: Water plays a very important part in many construction processes like mortar preparation, cement concrete mixing and curing. Impurities in water can not only lead to metal corrosion but it can also affect the hardness and durability of concrete. Because of the above reasons, it is important to have good quality water during construction.
  • GROUND WATER TESTING: There is a need to protect groundwater from a variety of agricultural and industrial pollutants for protecting the environment and drinking water sources. Scientific analysis can determine if there is any proof of negative environmental impacts. Our water testing services includes groundwater testing which is done keeping in mind national and international standards and guidelines.
  • WASTEWATER TESTING: There are many types of wastewater treatment that we carry out which includes colorimetric, titrimetric, electrometric, trimetric, nephelometric and other demonstrative methods
  • SURFACE WATER TESTING: Surface water is generally found in water bodies like rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans. Testing of surface water is important because pesticides, fertilizers, sewage, metal contaminants, oil and other pollutants can seep in through various means which can make the water unfit for drinking.
  • DRINKING WATER TESTING: Packaged drinking water is purified, and processed water packed in plastic bottles. According to a study by Bhabha Atomic Research center, packed drinking water was adulterated with carcinogens. According to various studies Packaged drinking water may contain carcinogens. Because of this, the Bureau of Indian Standards has made it mandatory for packaged drinking water manufacturers to obtain the Indian Standards Institute (ISI) mark. SMSLA’s provides drinking water test services of conformity as per ISI standards.
  • INDUSTRIAL WATER TESTING: The quality of industrial water is important for many manufacturing processes like processing, washing, diluting and transportation. According to the Water Resources Group, the demand for wastewater will exceed the current supply by nearly 40%. The quality of water can affect long range operation plans and can also drive-up operational costs.
  • IRRIGATION WATER TESTING: Water testing is important because it helps to determine if there are any salts or contaminants entering into in the soil which can reduce crop yields or in worse cause scenarios even kill them.
  • POOL WATER TESTING: Pool water testing is important for ensuring a safe and comfortable swimming experience and to increase the longevity of pool equipment. In addition, low quality swimming water can also affect the health of swimmers. Our water testing services includes pool water testing
  • WATER FROM PURIFIERS: Purified water is used in pharmaceutical industries for manufacturing processes like washing, cleaning and for non-intravenous product formulations

FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS

Water testing involves analyzing various water samples to assess their quality and safety for drinking, industrial use, Recreational use and environmental health. It encompasses testing for contaminants, physical properties, and chemical composition to ensure water meets regulatory standards.

Water testing is critical for several reasons:

  • Detecting harmful contaminants (such as bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides, and chemicals) ensures water safety.
  • Compliance with safety standards protects public health.
  • Verification of nutritional information helps consumers make informed choices.
  • Quality assessment ensures consistent product excellence.

Water testing labs examine various contaminants, including:

  • Bacteria (e.g., E. coli)
  • Viruses
  • Heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic, mercury)
  • Pesticides
  • Nitrates
  • Industrial chemicals
  • Other pollutants
  • Physical properties (pH, turbidity, conductivity)

Common methods include:

  • Microbiological analysis (e.g., membrane filtration, PCR)
  • Chemical analysis (e.g., ICP-MS, AAS)
  • Physical testing (e.g., turbidity meters, pH meters)
  • Advanced techniques like gas chromatography and spectrometry

Labs maintain accuracy by:

  • Following standardized protocols
  • Using advanced equipment
  • Holding accreditation (e.g., NABL)
  • Regular proficiency testing and audits

India’s water testing adheres to regulations set by agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), waste water by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. These regulations establish water quality standards for drinking and environmental protection. WHO at international level also water specifications for food industries.

Frequency varies based on the water source and intended use. Regular testing is recommended for municipal supplies, private wells, industrial effluents, and recreational waters to ensure ongoing safety.

Labs:

  • Identify contaminants
  • Assess water quality
  • Ensure compliance with standards
  • Help maintain safe and clean water supplies

Consumers benefit by:

  • Ensuring safe drinking water
  • Preventing waterborne diseases
  • Protecting against toxic substances
  • Gaining peace of mind about water quality

Look for NABL-accredited labs recognized by regulatory bodies. Check credentials, read reviews, and explore lab websites for detailed information.
