Laboratory Water Testing
At Water Testing Hawke's Bay we carry out a wide variety of laboratory water testing with many of the most common testing suites. However, although most testing is done in-house, some samples need to be sent out to other labs for testing, analysis and reporting.*
Once a water sample has been collected by a customer and supplied to us, or has been collected on behalf of a client by one of our technicians, the appropriate suite of laboratory tests is conducted according to where the sample came from and client requirements. The tests ascertain the sample's composition, the presence of pathogens and other aspects of the water's makeup such as:
- bacteria – such as E. Coli and other harmful pathogens.
- pH level – level of acid or alkaline.
- turbidity – degree of loose solids in water.
- chlorine – amount of added chlorine.
- TDS – total dissolved solids.
Laboratory Testing Processes
To determine the presence of pathogens harmful to people, animals, the environment and ecosystems, we provide the water sample with the appropriate environment to encourage the growth of the bacteria. Over a period of 12-24 hours, if that bacteria exists in the sample it will appear, and the sample and its source can be deemed affected with that pathogen.
Tests for water composition aspects such as pH, turbidity, chlorine and TDS are quicker and simpler to conduct than the test environment for pathogens such as E. Coli and are all done in-house at Water Testing Hawke's Bay.

Need your water tested?
Please give us a call or send a message to discuss how to go about it.
*Please note: We are not water consultants. We collect water samples, conduct laboratory testing, and provide reports with analysis that defines what's in water samples. However, it is up to our clients to decide what to do with these findings as the reporting of opinion and interpretation is outside of the scope of our IANZ accreditation . We are able to refer clients onto consultants for advice and solutions but we do not offer those services ourselves.
