Waterlab, provides water testing services to everyone. Whether you're an individual testing water for drinking purposes, a farmer ensuring water safety for irrigation or livestock, or an estate agent analyzing underground water for land subdivision, we’re here to help.

Access to clean, safe water is a fundamental right. That’s why we proudly support South Africa’s Blue Drop and Green Drop certification programs. Our team delivers SANAS-accredited water analysis and works closely with municipalities to help them achieve full compliance with these vital standards. We even help you upload the data to IRIS.
