Halfway thinking of grabbing one of these...

But it depends on how often you need to or want to do it...


But then I wouldn't be totally sure what would need to be tested!
I know you'd want pH, which would correlate with alkalinity (hardness) to some extent; defs chlorine and iron (neither is desirable!) but what else would be of importance???

The Uni up here does it for a small cost but I'd call up a water bore mob or irrigation place and ask them about your area :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yup irrigation place, $77 I paid, thats about double what the test is worth...Environmental consultancies ect can recommend places too, but depending on what you want to assay for, and the lower detection level you want, it can get very expensive. Just tell them its to see if it's fit for drinking...
