We are able to carry out a wide range of tests on the physical and organic chemistry of the water (See Water Quality Analysis). Using them in combination, allows us not only to examine the quality of the water but also to make comparisons and distinctions between samples. Our sampling is carried out to BS7592:2008 and processed at a UKAS accredited laboratory for full traceability.
