Water Testing

This includes:

• Total Viable Count (TVC) by membrane filtration,
• Hardness and Electrical Conductivity
• Environmental Mycobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa testing
• Chemical analysis - conductivity, hardness, pH and levels of Chloride, Iron, Silicate, Nitrates and Lead.

Surrogate devices inoculated with a range of microorganisms are used to analyse the efficacy of the disinfection process. Microbiological analysis of rinse water, the ability of the washer to remove test soil and effective chemical dosing is also established.
