I would like to have our catchment water tested. I looked online for various test kits, electronic devices, etc.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Also- I see some kits that test for "bacteria" but doesn't really specify. I know that some bacteria produce toxins but I'm equally concerned about bacteria that do not produce toxins that should be getting killed by the UV system. Dead inert bacteria do not concern me, but a test kit that doesn't differentiate between live and dead may give misleading readings. Does anybody know anything about this?
