Spon Water Consulting puts lab services to work for you by interpreting your existing lab results and prescribing additional analysis ONLY if you need more testing to improve water quality. Spon Water evaluates your historical records, utilizing existing data when available, and recommends further specialized analysis to reveal potential options for treatment adjustment.
Much more than just data and theory, we give you key parameters and guidelines on how to improve your water quality. After testing your water, we identify problems or points for improvement, and then we adjust the chemistry for long-term optimal water quality in your system.

Laboratory Testing Services

Specialized analysis/
evaluation of water quality:

Alkalinity (bicarbonate, carbonate, hydroxide), pH, TDS, conductivity, temperature, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, iron (total and ferrous) manganese, orthophosphate, nitrate, sodium, potassium, silica, sulfate, chloride, copper, tannin/lignin, ammonia, Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP), acidity, carbon dioxide, ATP, Heterotrophic plate count, Coliform bacteria (total/E.coli), anaerobic growth%, sulfate reducing bacteria, iron oxidizing bacteria, microscopic evaluation, bacterial cell count and identification of top populations, diagnostic bacterial analysis (BART: total aerobic, iron related, sulfur reducing, slime forming, nitrifying bacteria)

Deposit/Scale analysis of well deposits, filter media, pipe scale, corrosion byproducts:

Inorganic analysis of metals, microscopic examination, crystalline observations, organic composition via furnace analysis, acid solubility analysis, bacterial identification

Water Profiling Determines:

Langelier Index, Aggressive Index, Ryznar Index, Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Potential (CCPP), Larson’s Ratio, Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC), corrosion control graphing, optimal pH for treatment, lead/copper control guidance, chemical dosage rates for optimal economics and water quality
