As part of British Standard 6700:1997, it is compulsory to take water samples from each sterilised system, for Bacteriological Analysis.
Pennine Water Treatment Services take our sealed samples to a local independent public analyst, (who is UKAS approved for calibration and testing), where monitoring takes place under strict guidelines.
Samples are also taken on a routine basis as part of planned maintenance programs, ensuring that potential problems can be quickly identified, and remedied, before a full-scale outbreak can occur.
Samples can also be taken for metallurgical analysis, particularly to check the levels of iron, lead and copper in potable water, as high levels can cause many health problems.
