Water sampling is a process of collecting and analysing water samples to analyse their chemical, physical and bacterial characteristics to ensure it is free of harmful contaminants and pathogens. Sampling is a crucial element of any water quality testing program and is carried out to protect the health and well-being of employees, customers, and the general public. 

All sampling is carried out following strict processes and are taken to a required UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis. Samples are interpreted by our experienced staff and issued to our customers with appropriate recommendations, where required.

In some cases you may require for other bacteria to be sampled for such as TVC, E COLI, Coliforms to meet drinking requirements. Pseudomonas sampling may be required as part of the HTM04-01 requirements.

Water sampling helps to identify if any harmful substances or disease-causing organisms are present in your water system. It enables you to monitor water quality and can alert you to any potential water quality issues before they become a problem. Regular water sampling helps to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, reduces liability risks and protects your brand's reputation.

Regular water sampling can also help identify any areas in your water system that require preventative maintenance or repair, minimising the risk of contamination and breakdowns. This will result in optimal performance, increased efficiency and less downtime of your equipment.
