Water Quality Test StripTest Five Factors on Test Strip. Drinking glasses may hold more than just water. Test for total and free chlorine, total hardness, total alkalinity, and pH simultaneously on one test strip. We recommend you test your water at the faucet to determine its quality before you buy a water filtration/purification system. If any contaminants are present in your water, a water test will help you to select a water filtration/purification system that meets your needs to remove those contaminants. Sampling your water is easy!
Testing water qualityTesting your water quality on a regular basis is an important part of maintaining a safe and reliable source. The test results allow you to properly address the specific problems of a water supply. This will help ensure that the water source is being properly protected from potential contamination, and that appropriate treatment is selected and operating properly. It is important to test the suitability of your water quality for its intended use, whether it is livestock watering, chemical spraying, or drinking water. This will assist you in making informed decisions about your water and how you use it. The purpose of this Water Quality Matters publication is to provide water quality testing information that will assist rural residents who use a private water supply. It provides information on the importance of water quality monitoring and how you can get your water tested.

2010-03-12 Water Quality: An Exploration of the Myths, Lies and Misperceptions Part I of a Two Part SeriesThe recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, if the media are covering them adequately enough and informing their public fully, trigger grave and alarmingly righteous concerns within the water quality community. Its not just the availability of potable (drinking) water. These catastrophic conditions hasten anxiety about the disease vectors surrounding stagnant water, especially human wastewater. Included in such waters are deadly parasites that also find safe harbor. As they proliferate the hazards become exponential and overwhelming. This is going to be a two part series, so sit down, buckle up and get good and depressed. Its about some disturbing technical aspects the public knows little about, concerns Id like to share, and some unpleasant things Ive learned about.

2010-03-08 West Fargo water plant may cost usd. 61 million INFORUM Fargo, NDEnterprise Director Bruce Grubb testified in February at a local U. S. Senate field hearing that Fargo would need usd. 45 million to equip its treatment plant with the reverse-osmosis technology necessary to treat increased sulfate concentrations and maintain the citys current water quality. City of Fargo leaders, listen up. If you plan on allowing West Fargo to piggyback on your water system please do not do it at the expense of Fargo taxpayers. Over time, we have made a huge investment in time, money and effort to have a state of the art water distribution system. West Fargo needs to pay an initial fee to buy into our system. not just a per gallon fee based on current rates. Dont give them the farm like you did with the landfill (which WF blocked Fargos expansion, but now uses). Regional option looking more attractive to city The recommended option for a West Fargo water treatment plant could cost more than usd. 61 million, the final master plan recently released shows. That cost is roughly double what West Fargo officials expected, so the plans conclusions came as a surprise.
2010-03-06 Septic or sewer - Westport NewsMark Cooper, director of the Westport Weston Health District, stressed that a properly engineered and maintained septic tank is a positive thing for the environment and keeps ground water healthy. Nowadays, soil testing is done to test the lands ability to clean the waste and the rate at which water can pass through the soil. Showed that medications leaking into ground water via the sink or toilet have caused some male frogs in Connecticut to develop eggs in their testes. Egg producing is naturally a female frogs job. In agricultural areas, such findings were limited, but in suburban and urban areas the presence of mutated frogs was much more common. Proper installation and maintenance of a septic system, which handles household waste disposed of through the sink, toilet and shower, can be a boon for the environment. Contaminants that are flushed down the toilet or washed down the sink, such as medication, cleaning products or even coffee grounds, can have an adverse effect on the environment.

2010-02-28 Traverse City Record-Eagle - Forum: Be phosphorus smartPhosphorus becomes a problem when wind and water erosion carry soil containing phosphorus into surface water and when fertilizers or plant/animal wastes are over-applied or used carelessly, allowing phosphorus to run off into lakes or streams promoting aquatic plant growth. Most of Michigans lakes and streams are naturally low in phosphorus, so plant growth is limited. Phosphorus additions may cause green slimy water or excessive weed growth, making swimming, boating and fishing difficult or unpleasant. When the over-abundant aquatic plants die, it changes the waters oxygen level. That can kill fish and other water creatures-- sometimes in large numbers.
