Testing / Water Analysis
Free on-site water testing
Schedule a free on-site water test to assess the quality of your water and recommend if and what water system offers the best solution according to your needs. Our water testing takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and can be done in-barn, in-home, from an outdoor faucet, or stream by our certified DEP water operators.
What we will test for:
• hardness • iron • nitrates • pH levels • total dissolved solids (TDS)
Bacteria Laboratory Water Analysis
For a small fee, a more in-depth water test can be performed if you suspect bacteria to be present in your water supply. Our water experts can also help to determine if a lab test is needed upon initial testing.
A water sample is taken from your faucet and is sent to our NELAP-certified lab for an in-depth analytical test on E. coli and total coliform. Results are generally returned in three days, (24 hour rush bacteria test is also available) at which point we will contact you out on the results and discuss water treatment options with you.
Protecting Water Quality for Livestock
Water Contaminants and Livestock
Nitrate Toxicity
Nitrates are used primarily in fertilizers, and are more likely to be found in water supplies near areas of concentrated agricultural activity. Nitrates in concentrated levels of 10 mg/L or higher are a serious concern for livestock producers. Cattle that drink water with high nitrate concentrations have shown a reduction in milk production, a reduction in reproductive efficiency, and in extreme cases, even death by suffocation.
Bacteria
E. coli, leptospirosis, salmonella, and other viruses and parasites have shown to cause a number of different symptoms and production losses in cattle. Calves are more susceptible to become ill by pathogens in water but an increased rate of miscarriages can also be a concern for mature animals.
