Water Quality Analysis

Taking good care of your lakes starts with clean healthy water. At Lochow Ranch we are fully staffed and equipped to monitor the water quality in your lake with the most advanced water testing equipment available. Here are just a few of the tests that we perform:

• Dissolved Oxygen- a measure of the oxygen available to aquatic organisms
• Ammonia- deionized ammonia is extremely toxic to fish
• pH-the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the water
• Hardness- the concentration of calcium and magnesium carbonate in the water
• Alkalinity- a measure of the capacity of water to neutralize acids
• Phosphorus- the limiting nutrient in freshwater
• Temperature- water temperature controls the rate of all reactions in the pond.
• Visibility-a measure of suspended particles
• Others as needed

Results from these tests can give our experts the information needed to make your pond more rewarding. All of these parameters must be kept in balance or it can have an adverse effect on the health of your fish and dramatically reduce the production of your lake.
