Quality of Drinking Water
Make sure the water is suitable and check:
- Total Number of bacteria and coliform bacteria per ml
- Hardness
- pH
- Iron
- Manganese
Source is important. Water from the water company is of good and constant quality. Well water quality depends on the location and depth of the source, but in general a purification system is needed.
Check the water quality at least 2x/ year. Take samples from 2 locations: right after purification and where the animals drink.
