Potable Water Testing
It is said that water is
the source of life. Unfortunately, not all fresh,
raw or treated water are fit for human
consumption. Water stored in storage tanks on land
or in ships can be contaminated through the
introduction of foreign substances within the tank
such as rust or from the water reacting with tank
coatings. Contaminated water if drunk can cause
illness and could even be fatal.
Water therefore must be
tested to verify if it meets minimum World Health
Organization guidelines for the purpose of human
consumption.
Maritec offers potable
water analysis consisting of a series of tests
conducted in the laboratory. Our testing service
screens samples of water drawn from various
sources such as ship or shore tanks to verify that
they meet the minimum standards for consumption.

Maritec Laboratories are tested for the following
items:
| Test Items |

| Colour (Hazen Unit) |
