Water Analysis Comparison in Switzerland
Water Analyses – Overview and Comparison Table
With a water analysis in Switzerland, you can test your tap water for contaminants, heavy metals or bacteria. Our comparison table helps you find the right drinking water test.
An analysis for individual parameters may be suitable if you are interested in only one specific substance, such as the lead content in drinking water.
If several parameters need to be tested, it is usually more efficient to choose one of our combined water analyses, which examine multiple substances in a single test.
