Common Questions

If you don’t quite know what test you require one of these questions may sum it up, just tap the button to be taken to the analysis package or page explaining if and what you might want to test for.

Note: One misconception domestic/residential customers often have is that the lab can simply test your water to find out what is in it, unfortunately, there is no magic machine which can tell you everything in the water. The way our analysis works is we have test suites which test for a group of parameters related to a certain issue such as general bacterial levels or the general water profile.

Legionella Testing & Analysis

Feedwater has made the deliberate decision to be a Centre of Excellence for legionella control, using our own in-house laboratory accredited by UKAS we have stringent legionella analysis & testing services. Being highly knowledgeable in Legionella our laboratory is always a top performer in the HPA EQA scheme.* More recently Feedwater has been pioneering a new rapid legionella analysis using qPCR technology to count Legionella DNA with results in as little as 8 hours.

Sampling as a Service – How can I arrange sampling?

If you require a service where we visit site to perform one-off or periodic sampling we can arrange for one of our local consultants to take on this role, if required they may also be able to assist in identifying sampling points, in the case of Legionella sampling it is a requirement for businesses that a legionella risk assessment is performed to identify risk to people and which outlets need to be periodically sampled.

If you think you may require a legionella risk assessment please speak to us. In many cases it is simpler and much more cost effective to order sample kits from us online, these include sample bottles and prepaid mailing packs so that you can collect the samples and courier them to us for rapid analysis. This service is available to both our UK and overseas customers (for certain analysis).

Legionella sampling and all types of water testing can be carried out on a one-off or contract basis. Contact us to discuss your water analysis requirements.
