Water Quality Testing

Water quality is key to maintaining a safe and healthy home. Whether you use well water or municipal water, it’s important to ensure your water is free from contaminants. At Nex Level Inspections, we provide professional water testing services in Calgary. We help you understand your water’s quality so you can make informed decisions about its use.

Parameters We Test:

• Physical Parameters: These include temperature, color, cloudiness (turbidity), odor, and taste.
• Chemical Parameters: We check pH levels, dissolved oxygen, and the demand for oxygen (BOD and COD). We also test for nutrients like nitrate and phosphate, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, and various ions like chloride and sulfate.
• Biological Parameters: We look for the presence of coliform bacteria, E. coli, and other signs of microbial contamination.

Sampling:
Collecting samples properly is essential for accurate results. Samples can be taken from drinking water, groundwater wells, and other sources.

Testing Methods:
Different parameters require different testing methods. Some tests can be done on-site with portable equipment, while others need lab analysis. Accredited labs often perform comprehensive water testing.

Importance:
Water quality testing is vital for protecting public health by ensuring safe drinking water and safe recreational activities. It also helps monitor and protect aquatic ecosystems, as pollution can harm aquatic life.
