Coliforms & E. Coli
Coliforms and E. coli are bacteria known as “indicator” species which are used to determine the quality of water. A presence of either suggest possible fecal contamination of your water and may require remediation to prevent illness or further contamination.
Heterotrophic Plate Counts
Heterotrophics are a group of microbes (bacteria, molds and yeast). HPC is used as a monitoring system to recognize increases in overall culturable microbes in a water supply, suggesting a change in the system’s health.
Enterococci
Enterocci is an indicator bacteria commonly found in the feces of people and animals. Presence of enterococci in your water supply may suggest fecal contamination.
pH
Knowing your water’s pH can be helpful information for preventing issues with your crop, drinking water and supply lines. Drastic changes in pH can affect limescale build up and calcification which can damage pipes and sprinkler systems. In drinking water pH can affect taste and much more.
Nitrates
Nitrate is a chemical found in most fertilizers, manure, and liquid waste discharged from septic tanks. Rain or irrigation water can carry nitrate down through soil into groundwater. When people or animals drink water high in nitrate, it may cause methemoglobinemia. Water containing more than 10mg/L is considered unsafe for human consumption. High risk individuals are recommended to drink water below 5.0 mg/L nitrate nitrogen.
Drinking Supply vs Non-Potable Water
Depending on what type of water you are testing there are different requirements by the state and EPA. Make sure you specify which type of sample you are testing and if it contains chlorine or other antimicrobials.
