Water Analysis

All samples are tested in our UKAS accredited laboratory using UKAS accredited test methods.

Sampling is carried out by our competent Account Managers, in accordance with BS 7592:2008 Sampling for Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, ACoP L8 & HSG 274 Parts 1 & 2, for the following purposes:

To determine the quality of the water
To provide information to allow trend data to be compiled in order to better understand the systems and take appropriate action to minimise the potential for bacterial contamination and proliferation
To determine the presence of Legionella bacteria in the water systems
To determine the presence, count and trend of general microbiology in the water systems
To determine the presence of Coliforms and E.Coli in the water systems
To determine the efficacy of remedial actions taken or auditing control measures
To validate disinfection regimes
