Chloride Analysis

£50.00 +VAT

Chloride Analysis

Chloride is an important chemical ion that is found in water. It includes sodium chloride which is familiar to most people as table salt when it is in its solid form. High levels of chloride in the water can damage your water system, causing corrosion in pipes, machinery and appliances. This could result in leaking pipes, blockages and damage to equipment.

High levels of chloride will make drinking water taste salty and unpleasant, but could also be harmful to human health, leading to problems such as high blood pressure and kidney disease.

Regular testing for chloride will help you maintain your water system so it works efficiently and will not be harmful to health.

FAQs

What is chloride?

Chloride is an essential nutrient that helps the body to maintain a healthy fluid balance. It also aids digestion because it is involved in the production of stomach acid. However, excessive intake of chloride, usually in the form of salt, can lead to health problems such as stomach irritation, nausea, diarrhoea, high blood pressure and kidney disease.

If water that is too high in chloride is discharged into the environment, it could be toxic to aquatic life and harm aquatic ecosystems.

What effect do high levels of chloride have on machinery?

If there is too much chloride in the water, there is a risk that it will react with the metal pipes resulting in rust and corrosion. This can damage your water pipes as well as reduce the efficiency of your machinery and appliances. This is why it is important to do regular analysis of the chloride content of your water.

How long does the test take?

Laboratory testing takes at least 10-14 days.

What do I get once the test is complete?

Through our UKAS-accredited analysis, you will receive the results of the test as well as a certificate.
