Cum verifici acasă calitatea apei pe care o bei, fără aparatură scumpă. Testele care pot semnala probleme • Newsweek România

Home water quality can be assessed through simple tests, but clear and odorless water isn't always safe. Basic checks include observing color and sediment in a glass of water, which can indicate issues. pH and chlorine levels can be tested with inexpensive strips, while TDS meters help compare water sources. For well water, testing for nitrates and bacteria is crucial. However, some contaminants like lead and bacteria cannot be detected without laboratory analysis. Boiling water does not eliminate all contaminants, and testing is recommended when changes in water quality occur.
