Ensuring safe, clean water through effective disinfection and compliance sampling.
Domestic water services disinfections and associated sampling are critical processes in maintaining safe and clean drinking water within buildings, particularly in healthcare, residential, and commercial settings. These processes ensure that water systems are free from harmful pathogens and comply with health and safety standards.
The purpose of a domestic water disinfection is to kill or remove harmful microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi) from the domestic water supply, ensuring it is safe for human consumption and use. This is generally done via chlorination of the pipework. Following a disinfection, sampling is conducted to test the effectiveness of the disinfection process and to ensure that the water is free from harmful microorganisms, especially coliforms and Legionella bacteria.
