Information Novatron Requires:
When enquiring about a water desalination machine:
- Is your water supply Brackish Water or Sea Water?
- If your enquiry is regarding Brackish Water do you have a Water Analysis? (We do not require an Analysis if your enquiry is regarding Sea Water.)
- How much Water can the Bore or source of supply deliver per hour?
- What is your daily water usage requirement?
- Information regarding your power supply, e.g single or three phase etc.
Procedure for Testing of Water Source
Your water needs to be tested using the following procedures before coming to Novatron:
- Water Source should be run continuously for a minimum of 1 hour with best results after 3 hours.
- Keeping the flow going, fill a clean container such as a plastic bucket and place a clean sample container completely under water. This is to ensure that as little as possible surface water enters the container.
Pour some of the water out if necessary to end up with 10% air and 90% water in the container before closing the lid (preferably screw top) firmly.
Please note that due to the wide range of test parameters the laboratory requires at least 1 litre of water.
- Forward the sample as soon as possible to MPL Laboratories at one of the following addresses.
Please advise Novatron befrore you despatch your sample so that we may ensure that your sample receives immediate attention.
Label your water sample clearly as indicated below.
