Why do i need a Microbiolgical test on my Pool, Spa or Hot Tub?
f you're one of the many UK businesses or private households who own or operate a Swimming Pool, Hot Tub or Spa, you will already know that maintaining the quality of the water is essential and correct maintenance not only makes the water more appealing, but also helps make it SAFE from growing harmful bacteria!
As Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs and Spa's filter and recirculate the water, it's essentially recycled water and needs proper management to remain clean and safe.
If the water quality is not regularly monitored and the proper steps taken to maintain correct chemical levels, the health of the water can change dramatically, and bacteria can rapidly begin to grow, paticulary in Hot Tubs and Spa's, where the bacteria thrives in the hotter water temperatures.
This can cause outbreaks of infections such as otitis media, otitus interna middle and inner ear infections, gastroenteritis, and more commonly with the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the skin conditions such as Foliculitus. Sadly the potentially fatal Legionnaires disease is also a possibility from high levels of bacteria in the water system.
How often do i need to a microbiological test?
Swimming Pools, Spa's and Hot Tubs operated as part of a business such as a hotel or holiday environment, and used by the general public should follow both the Health and Safety Executive's (HSG282) and PWTAG guidelines. Swimming Pool and Hot Tub Microbiological samples should be taken on a Monthly basis, with Hydrotherapy Pools being taken weekly. Legionella samples are taken every 3 months.
“I am so impressed with the collection and delivery service The Wizard of Pool and Spa provide. Mark comes and collects the water samples, does all the paperwork, and we get our results by email. Don't know why i wasted so much time in the past doing it myself. I have much better things i can do now with my time. Highly recommend it ”
