Water quality and testing
Quality water is essential for stock to survive, particularly in hot conditions. Water testing can identify a wide range of chemical and physical attributes including:
- salinity (electrical conductivity)
- nutrient imbalances (for example, nitrogen, phosphorus, chloride, iron)
- toxic residues or heavy metals
- blue-green algae and pathogens
- and more.
