How to test water quality? Detailed explanation of three methods for water quality testing(COD\BOD\PH\Water Hardness)

1、 Chemical reagent method

The chemical reagent method is a common method for testing water quality. Firstly, it is necessary to purchase specialized water quality testing kits. Then, place the water sample into the test bottle and add the corresponding reagents according to the instructions in the kit. The water quality can be determined based on the degree of discoloration of the reagent.

This method is simple and cost-effective, but requires a certain level of chemical knowledge and experimental skills. Meanwhile, harmful substances that cannot be detected cannot be effectively analyzed.

2、 Portable electronic water quality detector

Portable electronic water quality detector is a new type of water quality testing tool that can usually be powered by batteries. Easy to operate, simply immerse the electrode in water to obtain test results for various indicators in the water, such as oxygen content, pH value, and water temperature.

Although electronic water quality detectors are convenient and easy to use, with short testing times, they require a certain cost to purchase and may not be as accurate as chemical reagent methods.

3、 Laboratory testing

If you want to test water quality more accurately, you can choose to seek help from a laboratory. Laboratory testing uses high-tech equipment and professional technology to detect more pollutants, such as heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and radioactive substances. But it requires a certain amount of cost and time.

Summary

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want to quickly test the safety of household water, you can choose chemical reagent method or portable electronic water quality detector. If you need more accurate testing, you can seek help from the laboratory.

Regardless of which method is chosen, testing should be conducted regularly to ensure the safety of drinking water. Attention should also be paid to protecting water resources, reducing water pollution, and ensuring public health.
