Different Ways Of Drinking Water Testing


By Essie Osborn


You can only find out whether the water is contaminated or not if some sort of test is performed. In order to find out what is exactly present in your water, drinking water testing needs to be done. From complex to extremely simple, various methods are used for this purpose.

One of the most simplest and easy to perform method is to taste and smell it. Simply, pour yourself a glass and just cover it for a couple of minutes. After that, take off the cover and try to smell it and take just a few sips to get the exact taste of it. You might be able to smell a faint hint of bleach like smell which is usually chlorine.

Home testing kit can be bought for the purpose of testing. You could easily purchase them from the market and they are not very expensive at all. A basic testing kit can check whether it is hard because it might contain high levels of calcium and magnesium. Also, it tells you if any amount of chlorine is present in it or not.

Besides purchasing a simple test kit that lets you know about just the basic sources of contamination, you could also buy a more complex test kit which would let you know if there are complex sources of contamination present. There are kits that test for contaminants that cause water borne diseases such as E. Coli, chlorine, lead, nitrate and other contaminants.

On the off chance that you are not eager to use some additional cash on purchasing such sort of units, you could essentially hunt down data that uncovers the nature of drinking liquid in your general vicinity. Its not a troublesome thing to hunt down pertinent data. You could undoubtedly discover everything over the web, only hunt down it and you will discover it.

Sometimes, such kind of test is done on government level but the unfortunate thing is that government performs these tests if and when necessary as they could prove to be very costly. These tests are done in similar manner as you would do with the help of your home test kit but it is done on a bit extensive and large scale. This is the reason why it becomes expensive for the government.

It is extremely important that testing should be done whether on government level or on individual level. Its a fact that each year thousands of individuals are effected by bacterial infections caused by contamination. Cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach ache are the most common symptoms identifying if someone is affected or not.

Its almost necessary to come up with preventive measures so that the issue can be cured because the result can be deadly in some cases. It becomes necessary that you introduce a water filter so you can drink clean, free of any borne diseases. Keep in mind that micro organisms cannot be seen so you don't realize what you are really drinking.
