Microbiological Testing
Bacterial counts, coliforms and Pseudomonas - the indicators that show disinfection is keeping the water safe to swim in.
A public swimming pool hosts hundreds of bathers, and every one of them adds to the load on water quality. Periodic sampling verifies that disinfection is working and that the water is safe to swim in. Kesar Digum samples in accordance with the swimming pool supervision regulations and tests in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, nationwide.
Pool water can look perfectly clear and still carry bacteria if the disinfection balance has slipped or the load on the water has risen. Supervision regulations require regular monitoring of microbiological and chemical parameters throughout the entire swimming season. Kesar Digum takes representative samples from the pool, sends them for testing at an accredited laboratory, and returns a report that helps the pool operator meet the requirements and protect bathers' health.
Microbiological and chemical parameters, as required by the swimming pool supervision regulations.
Bacterial counts, coliforms and Pseudomonas - the indicators that show disinfection is keeping the water safe to swim in.
Free chlorine levels, pH and other balance parameters that determine whether disinfection is working effectively without being irritating.
Taking samples from different points in the pool to build a reliable picture of water quality across the entire volume.
An out-of-range result comes with recommendations for correcting the disinfection balance and, where needed, repeat sampling for confirmation.
Operating a public pool is subject to supervision, and monitoring water quality is a condition for licensing:
Throughout the swimming season, regular water-quality tests are required at a frequency set by the regulations and the licensing terms.
Passing sampling results are part of the requirements for licensing and operating a public pool with the local authority.
The higher the bather load, the greater the need for closer monitoring of water quality and disinfection balance.
Turbidity, a strong odor or reports of illness among bathers call for immediate sampling and assessment of the water.
A pool is a shared space, and contamination in it spreads quickly among bathers:
Water that has lost its disinfection balance allows bacteria to multiply, causing skin, ear and digestive infections.
Contamination in public pool water can lead to a widespread outbreak, especially among children and families.
Out-of-range results can trigger a closure order from the authority, harming the operating season and the venue's reputation.
