Water Quality - Potable Water Testing

Surface and underground waters are often used as a source for drinking water. In many areas sophisticated physical and chemical processes are used to ensure water quality. In areas which lack such systems it is often difficult to assess water quality without laboratory testing and back up.

Kittiwake supply a range of fully portable test equipment, that can easily be used in the field. Tests are contained in a robust, aluminium case that is readily transported to where you need to test on-site. Get accurate results quickly and convieniently, with tests for a wide range of parameters and equipment to suit every budget.
