Why Borehole Water Testing Matters

Groundwater composition varies significantly by location, so a borehole that produces plenty of water doesn't automatically mean that water is safe or suitable for every use. Testing tells you what you're actually dealing with.

What a Standard Borehole Water Test Checks

• Physical properties: pH, turbidity, and total dissolved solids

• Mineral content: iron, fluoride, and salinity levels

• Contaminants: nitrate and bacterial presence

• Suitability for intended use: drinking, irrigation, or livestock
