Water Testing

We need a fresh water sample or a recent analysis

Why do we need a water analysis?

AVIVAPURE™ needs to ensure that we match your unique water characteristics to the correct equipment type, membranes and water pretreatment regime. Each different source of feedwater contains a unique mix of compounds (it's not just salt that's in the water). Things like silica, iron and calcium carbonate can foul membranes, so each plant requires a different design of pretreatment options to ensure the long-term, low-cost operation of your AVIVAPURE™ RO plant

If you have a fairly recent set of water analyses, we can give you an estimate, but before we build your plant we need to re-test the water, because it won't have been tested for things like Silica, which we need to know about. You can fax a copy of a recent water analysis to us on 03 9822 8128 (+61 3 9822 8128)

What can I collect the water sample in?

Ask us (on 1300 734 186 or 03 9822 1011) and we will send you a one-litre water sample bottle OR carefully wash out a one-litre screw-top plastic water bottle (not one that contained a carbonated drink) with clean, hot water

How do I collect a water sample?

Get a sample from the centre of the creek, river or dam

If filling from a bore, let the pump run for a minute before filling the bottle. If the bore has not run for at least two hours in the past few days, run it for an hour or two before taking the water sample.

If the bore is new, then run it full-flow for 24 hours before taking the sample.

If you have no Borepump: We can pump out your bore, measure the water 'drawdown" levels, the flow rates and TDS every two hours, then obtain a clean sample of water for testing.

Turn the valve from your pump right down so air does not bubble in with the water. If you allow air to mix with the water, the iron readings in the analysis will be wrong; we need an accurate analysis of the iron

Please screw the lid on tightly and tape it up. If you use one of our water sample bottles, you will find that you need to screw it on a little tighter than you first thought. Write your name and phone number clearly on the bottle. We have an impressive collection of unmarked bottles in a shed.

Where do I send it?

Please enclose your name, address and contact details on a card or label attached to the bottle

Enclose a cheque for $242 (incl GST) payable to AVIVAPURE Pty Ltd with your water sample

… Wrap the bottle in bubble wrap, pack it in a PostIt box and mail it to:

AVIVAPURE Pty Ltd
