Water Testing

The best way to be certain about the quality of your water is to have it tested. When testing water:

Rinse meters and container in water to be tested. Read off numbers taking note of units.
Stock bores can be tested on freshly pumped water at the trough.
Bores should be monitored at regular intervals (monthly or quarterly), for example March, June, September and December.
EC meters are relatively inexpensive and available at various water equipment dealers.
EC and pH measurements can be undertaken free of charge at many Primary Industries (PIRSA) locations.
