Water Reservoir Sampling

Water reservoirs and storage tanks are a sensitive point in the system - standing water, sediment and the right temperature create ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply. Periodic sampling of the reservoir water catches a drop in quality before it reaches the consumer. Kesar Digum samples and tests at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, nationwide.

Water Reservoir Sampling

What happens in the reservoir doesn't stay in the reservoir

Every reservoir or storage tank is a way station where water sits before it reaches the consumer. The longer the water stands, and the more sediment, scale and biofilm accumulate, the higher the risk of bacterial growth and a drop in quality. Periodic sampling of the reservoir water, alongside cleaning and disinfection when needed, keeps water quality intact all the way through. Kesar Digum samples on site and follows up with a clear report and recommendations.

What the service includes

What we test in reservoir water

The condition of the water quality in the reservoir, and when needed, support with cleaning and disinfection.

Microbiological tests

Coliform counts, total bacteria and Legionella when needed - an indication of the reservoir's sanitary condition.

Chemical tests

Turbidity, residual chlorine and chemical parameters that indicate water quality and the effectiveness of disinfection in the reservoir.

Reservoir condition assessment

A visual inspection of the reservoir's condition, sediment and sealing, as a basis for deciding on cleaning and disinfection.

Reservoir cleaning and disinfection

Draining, cleaning and disinfecting the reservoir following a finding, with verification sampling at the end of the work.

When it's required

When to sample and clean a reservoir?

A reservoir needs regular monitoring, and sometimes proactive treatment too. These are the common situations:

High-rise buildings

Residential buildings with a storage reservoir are required to carry out periodic monitoring and cleaning as a condition for proper water supply to residents.

Periodic

Periodic cleaning

Even without an abnormal finding, it's recommended to clean and disinfect reservoirs once per period to prevent the buildup of sediment and biofilm.

Once a year

Drop in water quality

Complaints about color, odor or taste, or an abnormal sampling result, point to a problem in the reservoir that calls for inspection and treatment.

As needed

After maintenance work

Repairs, sealing or replacing components in the reservoir require verification sampling before returning the water to use.

As needed
What's at risk

What lurks in a neglected reservoir?

An unmonitored reservoir gradually turns into a source of contamination instead of a supply of clean water:

Bacterial growth

Standing water and sediment create ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply and for biofilm to form on the reservoir walls.

Quality impact on every consumer

A contaminated reservoir degrades the water quality for everyone connected to it - sometimes without any noticeable change in taste or color.

Property manager's responsibility

The building committee or facility manager is responsible for reservoir maintenance, and a lapse in monitoring can carry both health and legal consequences.
