Borewell water testing

Borewell and irrigation water testing

We test borewell, tanker and irrigation water for TDS, hardness, fluoride, nitrate, metals and bacteria, so you know whether it is safe to drink, needs treatment or is suitable for farming.

Groundwater testing

What is borewell water testing?

Borewell water testing is the laboratory analysis of groundwater for dissolved salts, hardness, fluoride, nitrate, metals and bacteria, to find out whether it is safe to drink, needs treatment, or is suitable for irrigation.

Groundwater quality varies widely across Gujarat. High TDS, hardness and fluoride are common in many areas, and nitrate and bacteria can enter wells from sewage or fertilisers.

Accurate Universal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. tests borewell, tube well, open well and tanker water for homes, societies, farms and industries, and recommends treatment where needed.

Need borewell water tested?

Tell us the water source and why you're testing, and we'll recommend the panel.

Why borewell testing matters

Know what is in your groundwater

Fluoride, nitrate and arsenic have no taste or colour but can harm health over time. A test tells you whether to treat the water and which treatment to choose.

Microbiologist testing water samples for bacteria

Drinking suitability

Results against IS 10500 limits.

Right treatment

Choose RO, softener or disinfection based on results.

Fluoride and nitrate

Common groundwater problems in Gujarat.

Bacteria checks

Coliforms and E. coli from contamination.

Irrigation suitability

Salinity and sodium for crops and soil.

New borewells

Test before use and after heavy rain.

Testing parameters

Borewell water tests

These are the parameters most often tested in groundwater.

  • TDShardness & fluoride
  • Bacteriachecks
  • Irrigationsuitability
Test and why it is needed
TestWhy it is needed
TDSDissolved salts affect taste and suitability
Total hardnessScaling in pipes, heaters and appliances
FluorideExcess causes dental and skeletal fluorosis
NitrateSewage or fertiliser contamination; harmful to infants
ChlorideSalinity and taste
IronStaining, taste and colour
ArsenicToxic metal in some groundwater
Total coliforms and E. coliContamination and disease risk

For irrigation, we can add sodium and other parameters that show suitability for crops and soil.

FAQs

Borewell & Irrigation Water Testing: common questions

Which tests should I do on borewell water?

A good basic panel includes TDS, pH, hardness, fluoride, nitrate, chloride, iron and coliforms and E. coli. In some areas, arsenic and other metals should also be checked.

Is high TDS borewell water safe to drink?

IS 10500 sets an acceptable TDS limit of 500 mg/L and a permissible limit of 2000 mg/L where no alternative source exists. High TDS affects taste and may indicate other problems; RO treatment is commonly used.

How often should borewell water be tested?

Test a new borewell before use, and then periodically, especially after the monsoon or if the taste, smell or colour changes.

Can borewell water be used for irrigation?

It depends on salinity, sodium and other parameters. We can test your water for irrigation suitability.

How much does borewell water testing cost?

The cost depends on the panel. Share your requirement and we will send an itemised quotation.

Is Accurate Universal Laboratories accredited for this testing?

Yes. Our Ahmedabad laboratory is accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (certificate TC-5021) and our Rajkot laboratory under certificate TC-7988. The tests and products covered are listed in our scope of accreditation, and we confirm whether your parameters are within scope before testing.
