Water analysis in Moscow and the Moscow region

CJSC "Main Control and Testing Center for Drinking Water" (CJSC "GITs PV") conducts chemical, radiological and microbiological analysis of ALL types of water for citizens and organizations.

CJSC "GIC PV" analyzes water from wells, boreholes and any other sources of drinking water supply for compliance with the requirements of regulatory documentation. Based on the results of the study, not only a test report is issued, but also methods and devices for water purification (tertiary treatment) can be selected.

JSC "GITs PV" examines the following types of water:

water from wells, wells, springs
drinking water from centralized water supply systems (tap water)

Our center uses only the most modern measuring instruments and testing equipment, which represent the latest achievements of domestic and foreign science and technology. All devices are included in the state register, undergo timely maintenance and verification by state metrological services.

You can independently take samples for water analysis and deliver them to JSC GIC PV. You can also order sampling or a courier visit: specialists from JSC GITS PV can take water samples in accordance with established requirements. For these purposes, JSC “GIC PV” has special transport, utensils and equipment.

Nowadays, water analysis is not a luxury, but a necessity. If you are going to use any water purification system at home - from a pitcher filter to a stationary system connected to the water supply, you need to do a chemical analysis of the tap water. This will allow you to choose a filter that is suitable for your conditions and, on the one hand, not overpay for purification of substances that are not in your water, and on the other hand, purify the water from pollutants that are actually present in it. Before installing a water purification device at home or in the country, do a water analysis and consult with our specialists. This will allow you to significantly save your money.

It is especially important to do a water analysis when using water from natural sources. Not only water from open bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, but also water from wells or springs can be contaminated with various chemicals or contain pathogens. At JSC "GITs PV" you can do not only chemical, but also microbiological analysis of water.

It is important to note that different contaminants are found in different water sources. Therefore, the analysis of water from wells, springs and other surface sources, for example, is different from the analysis of water from wells or taps. In surface waters, pollutants such as nitrates and nitrites are of particular importance, but sulfates, for example, common in wells, are practically not found. Also, water from surface sources must be tested not only for the content of various chemicals, but also for the presence of pathogens in it. At JSC "GITs PV" you will be offered several options for chemical analysis of water, each of which is designed for water from a specific type of source.

At JSC "GITs PV" you can have your tap water analyzed. It is necessary to additionally determine the substances entering the water during its treatment at water supply plants (coagulation, flocculation, chlorination, ozonation). These are, for example, polyacrylamide, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, residual active chlorine.

Alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides contained in water, including those of natural origin, can pose a serious health hazard. Radiological analysis of water in the Moscow region is recommended when using water from wells more than 20 meters deep.

SAMPLING FOR WATER ANALYSIS

Proper sampling goes a long way toward accurately and reliably determining water safety and quality. When independently collecting water samples for analysis, please follow the rules below.

Taking a water sample from a tap for chemical analysis

1. Open the water tap to full pressure and drain the water for 10 minutes.

2. Reduce the water pressure to a gentle stream and rinse the sample container with it 2-3 times.

3. Fill the sample container to the top with water so that no air bubbles remain and close the lid tightly.

4. Use a clean plastic or glass drinking water container to collect the sample. To determine organic substances in water, only a sample in a glass container is suitable.

5. The sample volume must be at least 1.5 liters.

6. The sample must be delivered to the laboratory no later than 1 day after collection. Before leaving for the laboratory, store the water sample in the refrigerator.

7. Record the date, time, and address of the sampling location.

Taking a water sample from a tap for microbiological analysis

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CALL A SPECIALIST FOR SAMPLE COLLECTION FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. Here we inform you of the general rules for sampling, but we warn you that the collection of such samples requires special training.

1. Wipe the outer surface of the faucet with alcohol or burn it with a lighter.

2. Open the water tap to full pressure and drain the water for 10 minutes.

3. Reduce the water pressure to a calm stream.

4. Wipe your hands with alcohol or disinfectant wipes.

5. To collect a sample, use a sterile plastic or glass container, which you can purchase at a pharmacy.

6. Open the sterile container and immediately pour water into it, leaving a small layer of air between the neck and the lid. Close the container tightly with a lid.

7. Do not touch the spout of the tap, the neck of the bottle or the inside of the cap with your hands when taking a sample.

8. The sample volume must be at least 0.5 liters.

9. The sample must be delivered to the laboratory no later than 5 hours after collection. Before leaving for the laboratory, store the water sample in the refrigerator. Transport the container with the water sample along with the cooling elements, previously frozen in the freezer.

Wells are not among the centralized sources of water supply. Therefore, the requirements of sanitary and epidemiological standards for water from wells differ from the requirements for ordinary tap water. The thing is that it is used by a relatively small number of people, so the associated risks are lower compared to centralized systems.

However, this does not mean that water from the source does not pose potential threats to the consumer. The well is an open source and is poorly protected from environmental influences, and is also not subject to systematic monitoring of water quality - a frequent case is also the error of technical services when designing structures.

The NORTEST laboratory offers a comprehensive analysis of well water, including:

Chemical analysis;
Microbiological analysis;
Bacteriological analysis.

We carry out independent testing of well water in a laboratory setting. We take samples ourselves, visiting the site, observing storage and transportation conditions, ensuring the reliability of the data obtained.

Timely analysis in our laboratory will allow:

Chemical analysis of water from a well for drinking or use for technical purposes is more difficult than researching an aquifer hidden at a depth of more than 30 meters. The need for a comprehensive study of samples taken almost from the surface of the earth is due to the high probability of contact with pesticides, surfactants and biological pollutants. In this article we will look at the basic principles of research, and as a bonus we will give addresses where you can analyze water from a well in Moscow.

If water from a well is analyzed only for basic indicators (bicarbonates, iron, manganese, alkalinity, hardness, turbidity, sulfates and chlorides. Read more about analyzing water from a well.), then the upper layer of the aquifer often contains:

Microbiological contaminants (giardia, E. coli),

Inorganic substances (lead, copper, mercury, zinc, sodium),

Organic substances (acrylamide, styrene, vinyl chloride, PAHs, carbon tetrachloride, dioxin),

Pesticides (aldicarb, heptachlor, endrin, lindane, oxamyl, toxafol, methoxychlor),

Herbicides (dalapon, anthracine, diqual, glyphosphate, endothal, penchlorophenol).

Radionuclides (alpha, beta particles and radium).

Well up to 10 meters deep

Analysis of water from a well for drinking purposes up to 10 meters deep involves a detailed study of microbiological indicators. The fact is that stagnant water and excess oxygen in the air are optimal conditions for the growth and development of microorganisms.

In second place in terms of prevalence in wells up to 10 meters deep are substances that are transported with rainwater (surfactants, fertilizers, petroleum products) and domestic wastewater. Very rarely, surface waters contain increased concentrations of easily oxidized pollutants (ferrocompounds, chlorides, sulfides).

Well depth from 10 to 30 meters

At a depth of 10 to 30 meters, the oxygen concentration decreases significantly. That is why analysis of water from water intake sources of this type rarely proves increased turbidity or color.

As a rule, at a depth of 10 to 30 meters, the concentration of calcium, sodium, potassium, iron and manganese compounds increases significantly, which indicates a gradual transition of “well” water to “borehole” water. Analysis of water from wells and shallow wells will most likely show that softeners and iron removers are needed in the filtration system.

Example of well water analysis

An analysis of water from a well (Sinyavino village, Leningrad region) proves an increased content of manganese and iron. In addition, the color and turbidity of the selected samples significantly exceeds the norm (1).

Table 1. Protocol of water research results in the Leningrad region

Indicator name	SanPin 2.1.4.1074-01	Sample concentration
Turbidity (EMF units)
Color (degrees)
Oxidability permanganate
Aluminum (mg/l)		Not found
Alkalinity (mg-eq/l)
Ammonium (mg/l)
Iron (mg/l)
Nitrates (mg/l)		Not found
Manganese (mg/l)
Hardness (mg-eq/l)
Smell (points)

The analysis should be carried out only after 2-3 weeks of operation of the water intake source. It is by this time that the composition of groundwater, disturbed due to construction work, is restored almost completely.
