How Safe Is Your Water? Find Out with Lasec's Water Testing Solutions

HOW SAFE IS YOUR WATER?

Treatment of both drinking and waste water is essential to remove harmful chemical, physical and bacteriological contamination before use, or before it is released into the environment.

Lasec® has partnered with a number of reputable manufacturers to provide high-quality equipment, reagents and consumables that are essential for water quality testing. With a wide range of solutions available, we have highlighted our top 3 recommendations for critical water testing parameters.

3 IMPORTANT WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS

1. Chlorine
Essential for the disinfection of water, chlorine is a major factor when assessing the quality of drinking water. Excessive levels of chlorine can be detrimental to human health, and it is therefore crucial to monitor this parameter during the treatment of water to ensure that it is safe for consumption.
