Sulphates are common in natural waters, but levels can be increased from industrial contamination with sulphuric acid, bisulphates and aluminium sulphate used in water purification plant.
The proliferation of sulphate reducing bacteria in localised areas of high sulphates will produce hydrogen sulphide, corrosive to aluminium, iron and steel.
Waters containing high sulphates will attack concrete structures, forming calcium sulphoaluminate. If left unchecked concrete will weaken and crumble. Sulphates will attach to tile grouting in a similar way.
Kittiwake turbidity test kits provide simple quantitative measurement of sulphate up to 200mg/l. The Photometer test will measure up to 70mg/l.
The table below gives a chart of recommended tests.
