Which Water Laboratory Test?
Laboratory tests can detect a wide range of elements in water giving very detailed results, often in 0.00 mg/l (ppm) or µg/l. On our website we offer a wide range of individual tests as well as a range of kits designed to test water for a range of elements. To make it easier finding the right laboratory test kit, there is a table below which can be used to compare the laboratory kits available.

- Sea Water analysis
About our laboratory test kits: The 27inOne can be used to determine the overall potability of a water supply; it can be used for well, ground, tap & borehole water. The 12inOne Well and the 12inOne Tap Water tests are ideal to check for the most common elements in tap as well as well & ground water. The Water Suite 11inOne can be used to check any water source for a wide range of elements and is the laboratory-equivalent to our field test Complete Water Quality Test 12-in-One. Individual tests can be added to these kits, for our full range of laboratory tests click here.
The table below also includes our kits to test for metals, each testing for the metals most commonly found in tap or well water.
We also offer a wide range of tests for individual elements – for the full range of laboratory test kits click here.

How to determine which tests I need for my water:
- Water contains a wide range of elements. They are not necessarily harmful, but may become a contaminant or a nuisance at higher levels. To view a list of elements typically found in water, click here.
- There are a wide range of regulatory parameters which are monitored to ensure drinking water quality. We have created a list of key elements/contaminants which are monitored by the Drinking Water Guidelines and their maximum contaminant value, click here to find out more.
