Monitoring Water Quality

A complete yet necessary and important task for building owners and occupiers is to manage and assure the quality of the various water services on site.

A vital adjunct to this management function is the services provided by independent analytical consultants.

Norpath Laboratories can advise on the introduction of a monitoring regime involving regular testing which helps give managers peace of mind about water quality. By reference to the most recent Codes of Practice, Guide-lines and Standards we ensure that our clients receive the best possible advice.

Our experience extends to all types of water systems in industrial, commercial, domestic and public sectors including vending machines and fountains, calorifiers and chillers, showers, cooling towers, swimming pools and spas.

Generally a limited range of reliable, practical tests conducted frequently is of greater benefit than a larger range of complicated tests carried out less frequently. The frequency of sampling will however depend upon the type and age of the system and its maintenance and current use.

Norpath Laboratories is an independent organisation which does not manufacture or market chemicals. Our advice is always impartial and strictly confidential.

Our consultancy service is supported by a fully qualified laboratory team operating to the highest standard of quality control.
