What is a fire sprinkler system water test?
A fire sprinkler system water test analyzes water collected from a fire sprinkler system and/or from the system’s make-up water supply. Laboratory tests are conducted on the water sample’s inorganic (chemical) and/or organic (biological) content. Laboratory water test results should report on the potential corrosion indicators present in the water sample. Specific water tests can measure a sample’s various chemical parameters such as Iron, pH, sediment, etc., as well as report on the presence of bacteria that may potentially lead to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).
