Agriculture Water Testing Solutions
In CEA and cannabis cultivation, water management is not just “making sure plants get watered.” It’s an engineered system that influences yield, uniformity, disease risk, labor, and uptime. The facilities that maximize productivity treat water like a core production asset: measured, controlled, verified, and continuously improved.
Rimrock Analytical supports CEA and cannabis water management programs with a testing approach that connects chemistry + microbiology + operational decision-making. Rimrock Analytical uses testing to support stability and treatment design such as:
- Routine water chemistry panels (pH, EC, alkalinity, hardness, major ions) to support nutrient delivery consistency, scaling control, and reuse management.
- Trace metals and elemental analysis (ICP-MS) to investigate iron/manganese fouling, corrosion signatures, and other elemental risks impacting system performance and crop health.
- Program-based trending to establish facility baselines and action limits (source vs end-of-line vs reuse loop).
Rimrock Analytical also offers microbiology and biosecurity testing such as:
- qPCR-based testing to support targeted biological monitoring strategies (e.g., investigation of suspected plant-pathogen risk pathways through water and wet surfaces, where appropriate for your crop and context).
- Microbial monitoring support that complements sanitation and biofilm-control programs (trend-able metrics, event-based checks after maintenance, and verification of corrective actions).
Water Treatment Contractors and Engineering Solutions
Rimrock Analytical supports many engineering and construction companies that build and maintain water distribution, treatment, and facility systems to help validate treatment performance and maintain key components.
Rimrock Analytical helps contractors and engineering companies with:
- Testing for water treatment system validation
- Ongoing water and facility monitoring
- Fast turnaround when projects are time-sensitive
Lake and Waterway Management Solutions
Rimrock Analytical helps waterway management professionals make smarter treatment and management decisions through data. We provide fast, actionable water and biological testing to support pond and lake health, algae control programs, and long-term ecosystem management.
Our services include nutrient profiling (N, P, hardness, alkalinity, etc.), microbial and algae risk indicators, and trend-based monitoring programs that help you:
- Diagnose problem waters more accurately.
- Justify and fine-tune treatment plans.
- Document improvements for clients.
- Reduce guesswork and overtreatment.
We work as a technical partner to lake and pond managers/treaters/consultants, turning samples into clear recommendations so your field expertise is backed by lab data.
