Water quality parameter
Iron testing in Ethiopia
Iron in groundwater stains laundry and fittings and gives water a metallic taste. It is one of the most common reasons a technically sound borehole gets abandoned by the community it was drilled for. Palintest measures iron photometrically, with ranges for both dissolved and total iron.
Why it matters in Ethiopia
A borehole nobody uses is a borehole that failed. Testing iron before handover, and again when complaints start, turns a vague taste complaint into a number a treatment supplier can quote against.
