Primary Water Analysis
Primary Water Analysis
Our Primary Water Analysis provides a comprehensive evaluation of water, ensuring suitability for agricultural, industrial, or residential use. This detailed analysis identifies key water properties, chemical components, and potential issues, empowering you to make informed decisions for water management.
What’s Included in Your Analysis:
General Water Properties:
- Electrical Conductivity (EC): Measures water’s salinity, critical for soil and plant health.
- Total Soluble Salts (TSS) in ppm: Indicates the total concentration of dissolved salts.
- Tons/Acre Foot of Dissolved Solids: Assesses the amount of solids impacting water usage efficiency.
- pH: Determines acidity or alkalinity, influencing nutrient availability.
Key Chemical Components:
- Chlorides (Cl): Monitors chloride levels that can affect soil structure and plant growth.
- Carbonates (CO3) & Bicarbonates (HCO3): Impacts water hardness and soil alkalinity.
- Calcium (Ca): Essential for soil structure and plant nutrient uptake.
- Sodium (Na): Evaluates sodium levels to prevent soil compaction.
- Potassium (K): Vital for plant health and metabolic processes.
- Magnesium (Mg): Balances soil nutrients for optimal growth.
Specialized Metrics:
- Sulfates (SO4): Monitors sulfate concentrations for plant and soil health.
- Nitrates (NO3): Ensures safe nitrogen levels for crops and human consumption.
- Boron (B): Checks for potential toxicity in sensitive crops.
- Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR): Evaluates sodium's impact on soil permeability and structure.
- Iron (Fe): Identifies levels affecting water clarity and plant availability.
Results and Recommendations:
- Result Interpretations: Detailed explanations of water quality metrics.
- Result Recommendations: Practical advice to address identified issues and optimize water use.
Sample Submission:
- Minimum Sample Size Required: 16 ounces of water.
- Packaging Instructions: Securely seal the sample to prevent contamination during transit.
Turnaround Time:
- Results delivered within 4-5 business days.
Why Test Deep Water Sources?
- Ensure Water Quality: Identify and mitigate potential contaminants unique to deep wells (100ft+).
- Protect Soil and Crops: Prevent salinity, nutrient imbalances, and toxic buildup in soil.
- Optimize Water Usage: Improve efficiency in irrigation and industrial applications.
Suitable For:
- Farmers and Growers: Maximize crop productivity with high-quality irrigation water.
- Industrial Users: Ensure water meets operational requirements.
- Homeowners: Safeguard the safety and usability of deep well water (100ft+).

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are your business hours?
Our office is open Monday thru Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. We do close for major holidays, so we recommend ordering your testing and sending your sample early if a holiday is coming up. You can always reach us by email. Just send us a message at info@tpslab.com
- When will I get my results?
We understand that you need your results as soon as possible. That is why we make sure to begin processing your samples as soon as they arrive at our laboratory. When the results are ready, we will email them to the email address you provided on your submittal form. The list below will give you an idea of our usual turnaround times.
Soil Tests: 5-7 Business days
Water Tests: 5 - 7 Business days
Plants Tests: 24 - 48 Hours
Compost Tests: 7 - 14 Business days
Fertilizer Tests: 3 - 5 Business days
Heavy Metals Test: 7 - 14 Business days
We offer a rush option for an additional 50% of the testing cost, but we would encourage you to give yourself time to test before you get to a point where a rush is needed.
