Well Water Analysis - 07/25/13 03:55 PM
Friend of mine is testing his well water used for pond irrigation, per my suggestion, but is facing questions from the testing facilities on the "type" of testing he wants performed. I assume they need a list of the elements we need tested. From memory I could think of hardness, salinity, ph - but not sure what else I should include. Can anyone help me with a list of important elements to request to be tested?
Here's a partial report on the well water thus far - maybe we don't need more than this? Also, how do these results look below? Thanks in advance, all!
Hi TJ
Here is what I have so far.
CYA=12
T.CHL=0
F.CHL=0
PH=7.2
ALK=240
HARDNESS=500
PHOSPHATE=0
COPPER=0
SALT=<500PPM
I have called a lot of labs. But it looks like everyone wants to know what test I want done. So if you can tell me or call them and see what test you want done.
