Testing bathing and swimming pools

The water in swimming pools and other bathing facilities (such as hydrotherapy pools, spa pools and hot tubs) is subject to water treatment to keep the water clean and prevent fouling or damage to process systems. As well as standard daily tests for pH, temperature and treatment (usually chlorine), PWTAG guidance indicates that all pool water should be sampled monthly for bacterial contamination. Other chemical tests may also be applicable. To ensure your swimming pool waters meet all environmental and health standards, choose our services from Chiltern Water & Environment.

Outdoor bathing pools are subject to natural conditions and contamination. A significant number of sites throughout the UK have been designated for testing at a national level where a large section of the public may be at risk whilst bathing. However, for many smaller operations, such as wakeboarding, sailing and canoeing areas, the waters are usually not tested. This leaves your business susceptible to insurance claims should any customers or guests develop an infection or other illness. Using our water testing and monitoring services, we are able to sample the water against national standards to determine if the water you are using is safe.
