Water quality varies from one ecosystem to the next and depending on the parameters will determine whether you have a clear pond or a lake full of string algae. Seasonal weather fluctuations will result in changes in the water chemistry and biodiversity of the pond, lake or natural swimming pool, together with levels of phosphate and nitrate will inevitably encourage algae to grow and poor visibility or choked water bodies. Bespoke water quality analysis for ponds, lakes and natural swimming pools can only be provided if the site is located in Cornwall or Devon. Unfortunately, due to time delays and temperature fluctuations, we will not be able to get the samples returned to the lab in time if out of county, which would result in inaccurate data. The test from samples of water or silt vary for each client, but typically we will test microbiology and inorganic chemistry which will measure many parameters. We can also provide analysis for silt if required as part of a dredging or de-silting operation.
