Potable water testing

The quality of water used for cleaning, preparing ingredients, or during processing, plays a crucial role in maintaining product safety. If the water is contaminated, it can introduce harmful substances that compromise the safety of the food you provide to customers.

Water testing identifies potential contaminants to ensure your water meets all necessary safety and compliance standards.

We analyse water used in food production and source water for a wide range of analytes, including:

Our wider capability

Public water supply testing

We work with councils around New Zealand to sample, test and report data into the national Drinking Water Database (DWO). Reporting is automated, ensuring accurate and fast results, and offering the flexibility for clients to report data directly into the DWO from their own premises. We also provide electronic data files for direct download into other client databases.

Water quality must be assessed at source and monitored throughout the source, treatment, reticulation, and distribution systems in order to guarantee its quality and to comply with current and proposed New Zealand legislation.
