Salus Water Combi-Analysis – Ensuring Water Quality for Your Health

The Salus Water Combi-Analysis offers you a comprehensive examination of the water that comes from your tap. It combines a fresh water and stagnant water analysis to ensure that your drinking water meets the highest quality standards – both in terms of supply lines and in-house installations.

Fresh Water Analysis – Current Water Quality from the Tap

Fresh water is water that comes directly from the supply network and has not been standing in the pipes of your apartment or house. This analysis shows the current quality of drinking water as it flows from the tap and reflects the condition of the water before it can be affected by internal systems.

Although water suppliers guarantee the quality of the water, in-house installations – such as old pipes or water treatment plants – can affect it. The fresh water analysis checks whether the water you actually drink still meets the high standards of the Drinking Water Ordinance.

Parameters examined in fresh water: Aluminum, Barium, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese, Sodium, Silver, Zinc, Selenium, Total hardness, Boron, Antimony, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel, Mercury, Nitrate, Electrical conductivity, pH value, and other anions.

Stagnant Water Analysis – The Effect of Pipes

Stagnant water refers to water that has been standing in the pipes for a longer period, for example overnight. In this case, especially copper or zinc can accumulate in the water due to the pipe material, which can be harmful to health in higher concentrations.

This analysis provides you with information on how much the copper or zinc content in your water increases and whether lead pipes may be present – especially relevant in older buildings.

Parameters examined in stagnant water: Aluminum, Lead, Cadmium, Iron, Copper, Nickel, Zinc.

Why a Water Combi-Analysis?

By combining fresh water and stagnant water analyses, you get a complete picture of the water quality in your house. The analysis shows you both the condition of the water directly from the supply line and the influences that your house installation has on the water quality.

Samples should be taken after 12 hours without water withdrawal, ideally in the morning. This ensures that the stagnant water analysis provides precise results.

Ensuring Your Health

The Salus Water Combi-Analysis follows the requirements of the Drinking Water Ordinance and ensures that you always drink healthy and safe water. Make sure your water is clean and meets legal requirements – for the health of your family and your own safety.
