Water quality specifications

I've got this question emailed to a boiler manufacturer but am still searching out the answer. I have a job where repeated pump failures and other issues point to either a water leak or frequent pressure releases due to either a compression tank problem or feed valve issue. This job is across the state and the dealer doesn't agree with my thoughts. Before I drive the distance to inspect the job, I want to arrange for a laboratory to test both the fresh water and and a sample of the boiler water. I spoke with the lab and they need to know what they are to test for.
Does anyone have such specification that either boiler makers or circulator pump makers might have?
