The Importance of Water Testing: What You Need to Know
Water testing is essential to ensure that your water supply is safe and clean. Contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals can pose serious health risks if they are present in your drinking water. Regular testing can help you identify any potential issues and take steps to address them before they become a problem. It’s important to test your water at least once a year, and more frequently if you notice any changes in taste, odor, or color.

How To Test Your Water for Legionella: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you suspect the presence of Legionella in your water system, it is important to conduct a thorough test to identify and address the issue. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to test for Legionella:
Our water technicians will:-
- Collect samples in a sterilised bottle (with sodium thiosulphate)
- Analysis will be carried out by a UKAS accredited laboratory
- Collating the results
- Report to our clients and creating a plan of action, if required
Our team of highly trained technicians can guide you through the process step by step. We will collect water samples and handle them with care to ensure accurate results.
