Water Testing - Quality Analysis At Home

You can check the water taste, odour, turbidity, and pH of
the water to see if it is of bad quality. If you have noticed a sudden change
in your water in any way, then a home test kit is the best solution. Drinking
water shouldn't have an unpleasant taste or odour and must be tested
immediately upon detection of impurities.

Individuals can experience the following health issues and
symptoms if their home water is not of optimal quality 

• Chronic headaches
• Issues with gut tract, digestion, or diarrhoea
• Skin dullness and flakiness
• Chronic fatigue
• Hair fall
• Sudden weight gain or weight loss
• More serious conditions such as cholera, dysentery, hep A, typhoid, etc.

The best way to test water quality at home is to order a
MyDiagnostics water quality analysis test. You can also check for specific
properties of water at home, through single tests for each factor. The best
approach is to opt for a comprehensive water test that can measure different
factors and provide complete results.

For water hardness, a gravimetric method may be used as per
ISO standards for lab testing. You can order a home test kit to get the most
accurate results. For preliminary, or self-testing, you can add some soap into
a bottle of water and shake vigorously. If the water isn't soapy and is milky
in appearance then you may have a water hardness issue.

You can even buy water hardness strips to check the exact
quality of your water at home. It is best to get a comprehensive test done, as
even if your water is not hard it may have bacteria or other heavy metals.

The sample sent to the lab gets tested across different
parameters, based on the appropriate test assigned to it. For heavy metals,
various scientific analyses are used to check for the levels of compounds
individually.

For water properties, ISO approved tests are performed to
check for pH, turbidity, odour, presence of bacteria (as per Gram's staining),
and other factors. The collective analysis of all the tests performed in the
lab can showcase the purity of the water being tested.

One of the first things that you should be careful of is the
physical differences within your water supply. You can measure the pH of the
water with a simple pH testing strip that can be procured online.

You can also monitor the taste, smell, and turbidity of the
water for any changes. In fact turbidity is one of the most important giveaways
that the water is not of high quality. The best strategy is the buy a home
water testing kit to get the best results of your water issues.

There are different testing methods compliant with ISO
standards that are used for checking heavy metals in water. Some of these are,
Gravimetric method, Molybdosilicate method, Heteropoly blue method, Titrimetric
method, Atomic Absorption spectrometry, etc.

A Bangalore water testing lab will be able to design the
appropriate tests to check for the levels of heavy metals, based on the right
analysis method. You can book a water testing assessment through MyDiagnostics
that can be delivered directly to your address in Bangalore. Your report is
also shared directly via email, making it a quick turnaround assessment
solution.

For home use, water tests are vital to ensure the health and
wellbeing of your family. Residents have all rights to check the quality of
water that they are receiving in their homes, to protect themselves from a
range of diseases and illnesses.

For industry use, high quality water is key to maintaining
compliance and meeting regulatory standards across industries. Impurity-free
water is also key to avoiding the breaking out of diseases within a plant or a
factory, while ensuring the compliant management of water being used.

There are several tests available that can check for
different parameters of your water supply. 

As it is important to check water across different
properties, some tests are reserved to share key insights into quality. These
are -

Heavy metals

You can check for the presence of heavy metals in your water
supply, such as Lead, Mercury, Zinc, Calcium, Nickel, Arsenic, etc. These heavy
metals, when present in the water, can cause several health issues such as hair
fall, chronic fatigue, gastric problems, chronic pain, diarrhoea, fever, and
immunity issues.

Bacteria

It is important to have clean drinking and daily use water
that is free from viruses and bacteria. E. Coli is a significant risk factor
that can cause pneumonia, respiratory diseases, digestive tract issues, and
other illness. This is a critical testing factor within drinking water testing
kits.

Water properties

If you start noticing that your water is smelling, tasting,
or feeling different then it is time to get a water quality test at home. pH,
taste, odour, turbidity, alkalinity, and hardness are some of the major water
properties that need to be tested. 

You can find a water testing lab near me by searching online
and reviewing for accreditations and certifications. A water testing laboratory
near me that is NABL/CAP/ISO certified is the ideal one to opt for as they can
perform a range of chloride test in water, water hardness test, and water pH
testing with high quality results.

That is why MyDiagnostics partners with the best water
testing labs across India to make it convenient for individuals to provide a
sample and get water quality checking services performed within 5 days.

Water flows through different parts of the country with
