Why testing Aluminum is important

Testing aluminum in water is essential for maintaining safe, high-quality water and ensuring reliable performance in water systems. Aluminum occurs naturally in minerals, rocks, and soils, and its levels can change depending on pH and other water conditions.

• Low Aluminum: Typically no noticeable effects, but very low levels may indicate incomplete flocculation in water treatment.
• High Aluminum: Can cause water to appear colored or cloudy and may affect industrial processes or equipment. While aluminum at moderate levels is not a major human health risk, monitoring ensures water meets EPA secondary standards and prevents operational issues.

Regular aluminum testing is important for drinking water, industrial water systems, aquaculture, and laboratory water analysis. Accurate measurements help maintain water clarity, protect equipment, and ensure compliance with regulations.

 Hanna Instruments provides reliable laboratory instruments using the Aluminon Method for precise, repeatable aluminum measurements. Our solutions make aluminum testing simple, accurate, and effective across water quality, industrial, and laboratory applications.
