For property owners who need to compare multiple water sources before committing to pump selection, pipe layout, or drip or sprinkler irrigation system installation. Any combination of five bore, dam, creek, or tank sources can be included in a single submission. Results are presented side by side at all five points against FAO irrigation guidelines in a single comparative report. This kit does not include microbiology, herbicide screening, or drinking water parameters.
What's tested
The same panel is applied at all five sampling points:
Ion chemistry — Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Sulfate, Bicarbonate Alkalinity, Ammonia (as N). Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and Total Hardness calculated at each point.
Metals & trace elements — Iron, Manganese, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Mercury, Barium, Beryllium, Cobalt, Silver. Iron and Manganese flagged for emitter and equipment risk at every source.
Other parameters — Boron, pH, Turbidity at all five points.
Approximately 40 parameters per source. Approximately 200 parameters in total.
Benchmarks applied
Results are compared against FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 29 and ANZECC/ARMCANZ 2000 at all five sampling points.
What's included
Sampling kit with laboratory-grade bottles for all five sources and collection instructions
Prepaid Express Post return bag — all five samples dispatched together
NATA-accredited laboratory analysis — approximately 40 parameters per source
Plain-English PDF results report — all five sources compared side by side with all parameters, measured values, detection limits, and guideline comparisons
NATA-endorsed certificate of analysis
Results within 5–7 business days of laboratory receipt. Price includes GST and return shipping.
