Water & Laboratory Analysis
Data-driven water treatment starts with accurate analysis. Our comprehensive testing services — from routine water quality panels to Legionella culture and deposit identification — give you the information you need to make confident decisions.
The Data Behind Every Effective Treatment Program
Effective water treatment is built on accurate data. Without regular water analysis, you are managing your systems blind — unable to confirm that inhibitor residuals are adequate, that biological control is working, or that scale and corrosion are being held in check. And when problems do develop, you need the right analytical tools to diagnose them quickly and accurately.
RW Water Services provides comprehensive water and laboratory analysis services through a combination of on-site testing and accredited laboratory analysis. Our technicians perform water quality testing at every service visit, capturing real-time data on pH, conductivity, inhibitor residuals, hardness, alkalinity, and biological indicators. Samples requiring laboratory analysis are collected with proper chain-of-custody documentation and submitted to accredited facilities for accurate, defensible results.
For Legionella compliance programs, we coordinate culture and PCR testing through AIHA-accredited and state-certified laboratories — providing the sampling, chain-of-custody, and result interpretation services that your Water Management Plan requires. We also perform deposit analysis, corrosion coupon evaluation, and specialized testing for troubleshooting system problems.
Our Laboratory Analysis Capabilities
On-Site Water Testing
Real-time analysis of pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, inhibitor residuals, hardness, alkalinity, chlorine, and other parameters at every service visit.
Legionella Culture Testing
Legionella culture testing through AIHA-accredited laboratories with proper sampling protocols, chain-of-custody documentation, and expert result interpretation.
Legionella PCR Testing
Rapid PCR-based Legionella detection for time-sensitive situations — providing faster results than culture testing when speed is critical.
Deposit & Scale Analysis
Laboratory identification of scale deposits, corrosion products, and fouling materials — pinpointing the cause of heat transfer loss, flow restriction, or equipment damage.
Corrosion Coupon Analysis
Installation, retrieval, and laboratory analysis of corrosion coupons to quantify corrosion rates and confirm that inhibitor programs are delivering adequate protection.
Microbiological Testing
Total bacteria counts, heterotrophic plate counts, and targeted microbiological testing to assess biological control program effectiveness and identify contamination events.
Analysis Services We Provide
Routine Water Quality Analysis
Comprehensive water quality panels for cooling towers, closed loops, boilers, and domestic water systems — tracking key parameters over time to identify trends before they become problems.
Legionella Testing & Sampling
Culture and PCR Legionella testing from cooling towers, hot water systems, decorative water features, and other high-risk water sources through AIHA-accredited laboratories.
Deposit & Scale Identification
Laboratory analysis of scale, corrosion products, and fouling deposits to identify composition, source, and treatment implications — supporting targeted remediation.
Corrosion Coupon Programs
Corrosion coupon installation, retrieval, and laboratory analysis to quantify corrosion rates and provide objective evidence of inhibitor program effectiveness.
Microbiological Testing
Total bacteria counts, heterotrophic plate counts, and targeted microbiological analysis to assess biological control and identify contamination in water systems.
Specialized Troubleshooting Analysis
Custom analytical programs for diagnosing specific system problems — unusual corrosion, unexplained fouling, treatment program failures, and post-incident investigations.
