Why is Water Quality Testing Important?

Water is a vital resource essential for life, agriculture, industry, and recreation. Ensuring the quality of water is crucial for the following reasons:

Health and Safety: Contaminated water can harbor harmful pathogens, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants that pose serious health risks.

Environmental Protection: Regular monitoring helps prevent the degradation of natural water bodies and supports sustainable management practices.

Regulatory Compliance: Meeting water quality standards is essential for industries, municipalities, and individuals to comply with local and national regulations.

Efficiency in Water Treatment: Accurate water quality testing aids in optimizing treatment processes, ensuring water is safe and cost-effective to use.

Protecting Ecosystems: Clean water is essential for the survival of aquatic life and maintaining biodiversity.

At Ecolab, we understand the importance of water quality and are committed to providing comprehensive testing solutions that ensure safe and sustainable water use. Whether it’s for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes, you can trust us to deliver excellence in every drop.

WHO Guidelines for
Drinking Water

The WHO drinking water standards provide guidelines to ensure the safety and quality of drinking water worldwide. These standards are detailed in the latest Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality and are used by countries to establish national drinking water standards. These are some key WHO parameters for drinking water quality.

Physical Parameters

  • Color: Should not exceed 15 True Color Units (TCU)
  • Taste and Odor: Acceptable to consumers
  • Turbidity: Should be ≤ 1 NTU for effective disinfection
  • Temperature: No direct health-based guideline; influences acceptability and efficiency of treatment

Chemical Parameters

  • pH: 6.5–8.5 (ideal range for palatability and corrosion control)
  • Nitrate (as NO₃): ≤ 50 mg/L
  • Nitrite (as NO₂): ≤ 3 mg/L
  • Chloride: ≤ 250 mg/L (no health-based limit; mainly for taste and corrosion control)
  • Fluoride: ≤ 1.5 mg/L (to prevent fluorosis)
  • Arsenic: ≤ 0.01 mg/L
  • Lead: ≤ 0.01 mg/L
  • Mercury: ≤ 0.006 mg/L
  • Iron: ≤ 0.3 mg/L (for acceptability)

Microbiological Parameters

  • E. coli: Must not be detectable in 100 mL of sample
  • Total Coliforms: Must not be detectable in 100 mL of sample (indicative of contamination)
  • Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC): No health-based guideline; used for monitoring overall water quality

Radiological Parameters

  • Radon: ≤ 100 Bq/L (for public health protection)
  • Gross Alpha Activity: ≤ 0.5 Bq/L
  • Gross Beta Activity: ≤ 1 Bq/L

Disinfectants and By-products

  • Free Chlorine: ≤ 5 mg/L
  • Chloramines: ≤ 3 mg/L
  • Trihalomethanes (e.g., chloroform): ≤ 0.1 mg/L (as a group)

Toxic Substances (Selected)

  • Cyanide: ≤ 0.07 mg/L
  • Benzene: ≤ 0.01 mg/L
  • Pesticides (e.g., DDT): ≤ 0.001 mg/L (varies by substance)
