Drinking Water Testing Service

Drinking Water Testing

Water that looks clear is not always safe to drink. Many contaminants, from bacteria to heavy metals, cannot be seen or tasted, yet they can affect health over time. The only reliable way to know if your drinking water is truly safe is to get it tested in a proper laboratory.

Sawen Group is a QCI and NABL accredited environmental laboratory based in Lucknow. We test drinking water for homes, housing societies, hotels, schools, hospitals and institutions to confirm it meets safety standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards.

If you want to know whether your drinking water, whether from a borewell, municipal supply or packaged source, is safe to drink, our team can guide you through the entire testing process.

What is Drinking Water Testing?

Drinking water testing means checking water meant for human consumption for physical, chemical and biological contaminants. This includes testing water from borewells, municipal supply lines, overhead tanks, RO systems and packaged drinking water sources.

The test checks for things like bacteria, heavy metals, minerals, chlorides and other substances that can affect taste, safety and health. Once tested, the results are compared against the standards set under IS 10500, the Indian Standard for drinking water quality, to confirm whether the water is safe or needs treatment.

Drinking water testing is done for:

Homes and individual households
Housing societies and apartment complexes
Hotels, restaurants and hospitality businesses
Schools, colleges and educational institutions
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
Packaged drinking water and RO plant operators

Common Sources of Drinking Water We Test

Source	Why Testing is Needed?
Borewell Water	Groundwater can carry minerals, bacteria or chemical contamination depending on the area
Municipal Supply	Pipeline water can pick up contamination during transport or storage
Overhead Storage Tanks	Water quality can change during storage due to tank condition or cleaning frequency
RO and Purifier Output	Confirms whether the purification system is working correctly
Packaged Drinking Water	Manufacturers need regular testing to confirm product safety and quality

Key Parameters Checked in Drinking Water Testing

Parameter	What It Tells You?
pH Level	Whether the water is acidic, neutral or alkaline
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)	Amount of dissolved minerals and salts in the water
Total Hardness	Level of calcium and magnesium, which affects taste and appliance scaling
Chlorides	Mineral content that affects taste when present in high amounts
Fluoride	Important to monitor, since both excess and deficiency can affect health
Iron Content	High levels can affect taste, colour and cause staining
Nitrate	Can indicate contamination from agricultural or sewage sources
Total Coliform and E. coli	Presence of bacteria linked to contamination
Turbidity	Clarity of water, which reflects the presence of suspended particles

For households, testing once or twice a year is generally sufficient, unless you notice a change in taste, smell or colour. Institutions like schools and hospitals often test more frequently as part of routine safety checks.

Not necessarily. Borewell water can carry minerals, bacteria or chemical contamination depending on the area, so testing is the only reliable way to confirm its safety before regular use.

Yes. Sawen Group is a NABL accredited laboratory (Certification No. T-2091), and our drinking water reports are prepared as per IS 10500 standards, making them suitable for compliance and safety documentation.

Yes. We test both the input water and the RO output to compare quality, helping you confirm whether your purifier is effectively removing contaminants.

Our team will explain which parameters are outside the safe range and suggest suitable treatment options, such as filtration, RO purification or other corrective measures.

Cost depends on the number of parameters tested. Reach out to our team for a quote based on your exact requirement, whether it is a basic check or a full IS 10500 report.
