Know What You're Drinking
Rainwater tanks are exposed to everything from leaves and dust to animal droppings, and over time, these contaminants can impact the quality and safety of your water. Our water testing service helps identify problems before they pose health risks. We test for bacteria such as E. coli, pH levels, turbidity (clarity), and other key indicators of water safety.
Depending on your needs, we can also test for heavy metals, nitrates, or other site-specific concerns. Results are explained in simple terms, with tailored advice on how to improve or maintain your water quality — whether that means a deep clean, installing filtration, or treating bacteria. This service is particularly important for households using rainwater as a primary source or those with young children, elderly residents, or vulnerable immune systems.
Don’t take risks — make informed choices with accurate, reliable water testing.
How often should I test my rainwater tank water?
It’s recommended to test rainwater every 6–12 months, particularly if the water is used for drinking or cooking. You should also test after a system disturbance, unusual weather events, or if you notice changes in smell, taste, or colour. Frequent testing ensures early detection of contamination.
What does water testing check for?
Standard testing covers pH balance, turbidity (clarity), and the presence of bacteria like E. coli. Depending on your needs, we can also check for heavy metals, nitrates, and chemical residues. Results are measured against safe drinking water guidelines and interpreted clearly.
Is rainwater safe to drink without testing?
Not always. Rainwater may look clean, but it can contain bacteria or organic contaminants from your roof or gutters. Testing is the only reliable way to confirm water safety. It’s especially important for vulnerable individuals or households using rainwater as a primary source.
