Colour Analysis

Colour Analysis

Discolouration of your drinking water is an indication that the water has become contaminated with minerals, metals or organic compounds. For example, high levels of manganese or iron can turn water brown or yellow, and copper can give water a blue or green colour. Colour analysis will help you identify the contaminant/s.

There are industries that use large amounts of dye in the manufacture of products, such as paper and textiles. Trade effluent from these manufacturers must be treated before the wastewater is discharged, otherwise it will cause environmental problems and may get into our drinking water supplies.

Water discolouration could be an indication of a range of issues such as corrosion or leaks in your pipes. It is therefore important that, if you are experiencing discoloured water from your taps, you check with neighbouring businesses to see if they’re having the same issues.
