Water Test Combi

Test your water with the Water Analysis Combi and find out how good your drinking water is. Your water is analysed in the laboratory for toxic heavy metals, nutrients are also recorded and the water hardness is determined.

In addition, the water is tested for bacteria, generally at different temperatures, and specifically for E. coli and coliform germs (‘faecal bacteria’).

Why a laboratory analysis for your drinking water is valuable

As a rule, drinking water in Switzerland is of very good quality and the strict requirements of the Drinking Water Ordinance (TBDV) are met. However, pollutants, such as heavy metals, can still get into the drinking water from the material of the pipes and fittings, even from the house connection. Pollutants are often not recognisable to the naked eye and can be harmful to health if consumed continuously. Bacterial growth can also occur, especially if a water softener is in operation or parts of the domestic installation are stagnant. The Complete drinking water analysis covers these common causes of problems in drinking water.

Reasons why a water test can be useful for you:

• You consume your tap water regularly.
• The water shows abnormalities in color, smell or taste.
• There are people with a weak immune system or risk groups (babies, children, pregnant women or sick people) living in your household.
• The water is used to prepare baby food.
• You live in a house in which copper or even lead lines may be installed.
• You use your tap water for a soda maker.

What is the Water Analysis Combi?

With the Water Analysis Combi, you can check whether pollutants and bacteria are entering your drinking water from the tap, pipes or other sources. Heavy metals often dissolve from old pipes or find their way into drinking water through inadequately maintained installations, or bacteria can multiply in stagnant water or the deposits in older pipes. Water softeners are also frequent sources of such contamination. Pipe damage can also be the cause. Health risks cannot be ruled out in the event of increased contamination.
