In this paper, we will explore how pH can affect sulfate levels in water and how this can influence the measurement and management of sulfate levels. Sulfate is a negatively charged ion and its solubility in water is influenced by the pH of the water.

- Sulfate Testing, What to Look For and Why It Matters
Some methods for testing sulfates have low detection limits, meaning they may not be able to detect low levels of sulfates in a sample. This can be particularly problematic in situations where regulatory standards are set at low levels of sulfates, such as in drinking water [2].
Water containing high levels of sulfates, particularly magnesium sulfate (Epson salts) and sodium sulfates (Glauber’s salt) may have a laxative effect on people unaccustomed to the water. These effects vary among individuals and appear to last only until they become accustomed to using the water.
In weathering or contact with aerated water, the sulfides are oxidized to yield sulfate ions which are carried off in the water. Sulfate is carried to bodies of water by rain and through solution of sulfate compounds in sedimentary geologic formations within the drainage basin.
ICP-MS is a highly sensitive and precise method that can detect low levels of sulfate in water. It involves the use of a plasma torch to ionize the sample, and the ions are then detected by a mass spectrometer. [3]
The Initial Water Tests: What the Results Mean The initial set of water tests can provide a good overview of your well water quality if you know how to interpret the results. The information below provides a starting point for evaluating your water quality. Note that water test results are usually presented in milligrams per
UNDERSTANDING YOUR WELL WATER TEST RESULTS. Regular water testing is essential to keep your drinking water clean and your well operating at peak performance. But many well owners are stumped when they receive their test results from the laboratory.
