We periodically check the water of the entire aqueduct, guaranteeing its excellent quality all the way to the meter. However, the state of conservation and maintenance of the water system of your home and your condominium can affect water quality.
For this reason, if you would like to know the specific water characteristics of your tap, and you live in one of the municipalities of the Metropolitan City of Milan, you can choose between these three analysis packages.
BASIC CONTROL
hardness, odour, colour, residual chlorine, dry residue at 180°
pH and conductivity
sodium, magnesium, aluminium, iron
e.coli, enterococci, total coliforms
FULL CONTROL
hardness, odour, colour, residual chlorine, dry residue at 180°
pH and conductivity
sodium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, e. coli, enterococci, total coliforms
chlorides, nitrates, sulphates, fluorides, chlorites, ammonia, nitrites
e.Coli, Enterococci, Total Coliforms
hardness, odour, colour, residual chlorine, dry residue at 180°
pH and conductivity
boron, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, cadmium, antimony, barium, mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium
organohalogenated compounds (freon 11, freon 141, freon 113, 1,1- dichloroethylene, chloroform, methylchloroform, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, bromoform, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,2-dibromoethane)
E.coli, enterococci, total coliforms, legionella pneumophila
The water in your home may have different characteristics than the water distributed by the aqueduct. This can be caused by old or worn pipes that can release metals such as iron, especially if the tap remains closed for a long time.
Limestone encrustations can also form in the pipes and in the various parts of the water system which, in the long term, can cause a significant reduction in the flow rate of the taps, and above all problems with the boiler and appliances that use heated water, resulting in increased energy consumption and the wear of some parts.
The analyses results and the relative legal limits for drinking water can be found in the report sent by the laboratory, which will be accompanied by a general descriptive guide of all the parameters analysed to facilitate its reading.
