tomster Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hi, I would like to get my tap water thoroughly tested in a lab, Google is not being kind to me when I try to find suitable companies.... Has anybody had a such a report done recently - if so could you please share the company details of the lab that did it? Can be anywhere in Thailand, I will send the water to them. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokesaat Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Center for Medical Sciences in Udon does this service. I checked other bigger cities in the NE like KhonKaen, Korat.......there are similar centers there as well. I suspect that with the proliferation of drinking water machines/companies, most all bigger cities provide this service.

Lacessit Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Universities with a science department should have the laboratory facilities to undertake water analysis. When the OP says he wants the water thoroughly tested, what parameters does he want, and what specifically concerns him? E.g. Total Dissolved Solids, SS, BOD, COD, metals, pesticides, herbicides, phenols, anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, TKN, nitrates, ammonia, calcium hardness.

Popular Post thainet Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 The "Asian Institute of Technology" (AIT) in Bangkok will do it for free, but it takes a few days. It is a very detailed report if you request it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterfranks Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Any lab can do this. For example Pattaya-bangkok hospital can do, but it will cost you. You have to tell them what you want to be checked. There are many labs in chonburi, for example https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=lab+chonburi Companies that sell waterfilters do it for free, but they test only for a few things like calcium- sediment - turbidity - iron. If you want to check for certain chemicals, then a medical lab is the way to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well by definition a testing laboratory will have testing equipment so basically any lab can test water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunglom Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 This is an interesting topic. Whereas I realise water companies and local authorities may not be too keen but I think it is worth PUBLISHING as many companies/laboratories as possible who will do this sort of testing. I'm particularly interested to find out what is in the water around Rayong and Chonburi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Not 'test lab', but we use a Xiaomi T D S pen water quality tester. Pictured below. First 8 ish yrs, I drank unfiltered well water. Then when renting, first 3 yrs stint, filtered city water, strictly for taste, or more to remove any taste, chlorine or biological (bacterial/viral via (2 stage / 3 micron). Whether it does much for metals, I'm not sure. Never tested. 2nd house, next 5 yrs, village water, using same countertop filter for tap water, used for drinking & cooking. Next rental, at PKK, again city water, but now using the T D S pen, and a bit surprised by readings. Really surprised, as in at 170 ppm and out of filter, about the same ... ???? Hence we started drinking bottled water, which almost all are <10 ppm, 1 or 1.5 liter bottles from 7-11, and usually 6-7-8 ppm, if not mineral water. We usually buy ARO/Makro brand in 6 liter jugs, and they test @ 12 ppm Now, new house / PKK, and just today, started drinking rain water. T D S test @ about 9 ppm, unfiltered. Those wanting to filter water on the cheap, vid below. Our 2 stage (ceramic & carbon), 3 micron (PURE brand) cost shy of 3k baht. Good for taste & biologicals, not sure about anything else. Info & possible tweaking above: Edited September 8, 2022 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
