Measuring iron in water with the Testomat

Reliable water quality through rapid iron analysis

The iron concentration in water is a decisive factor for drinking water quality, technical installations, and well water. Excessive iron contamination can cause discoloration, unpleasant taste, and deposits in pipes.

Why iron measurement is important:

  • Surface changes: Iron can attack pipes, wells, or lines and cause corrosion.
  • Groundwater supply: Regular monitoring ensures that water from wells or public sources complies with legal limits.
  • Use of well water: Safe iron concentrations are particularly important for private or agricultural use in order to protect equipment and pumps.

  • Fast results: Iron values can be determined directly on site.
  • Easy to use: No time-consuming laboratory samples necessary.
  • Reliable measurement results: Helps to continuously monitor water quality.
  • Early warning system: If iron levels rise, measures such as filtering or maintenance can be initiated in good time.

Application:

  • Well water: For private households, agricultural use, or small businesses.
  • Public water supply: Monitoring of groundwater and drinking water pipes.
  • Technical equipment: Prevention of iron deposits in pumps, pipes, or water tanks.
