Free Chlorine
Chlorine in water may be present in two forms, free and combined: Free chlorine does the hard work of killing bacteria and oxidising contaminants. When you add chlorine to water, you are actually adding free chlorine. When the free chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine, or chloramines. In water, this form of chlorine has very little sanitising ability and no oxidising ability. Total chlorine is the sum of both – combined chlorine and free chlorine. Levels of chlorine should be kept as low as possible whilst still ensuring the quality of the water. Testing for free as well as total chlorine is important, to ensure that the correct amount of sanitiser is being added to water. Choose the free Chlorine test, depending on the range you want to cover, ie. the level of chlorine added at the water treatments works is usually up to 1 ppm (mg/l). Your local swimming pool will normally have a concentration between 1.5 and 5 ppm (mg/l).
Hardness

Legionella
Our team of experts is available to answer your questions, provide assistance with kit usage, and offer recommendations for water management best practices. We believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers, supporting them in their commitment to creating safe and healthy environments. Legionella Health Risks: Symptoms may include high fever, cough, muscle aches, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia and be fatal. Legionella Regulations: In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive’s Approved Code of Practice, L8, provides guidelines for the control of Legionella bacteria in water systems. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for organisations to ensure public health and safety. Preventive Measures: Regularly carrying out a Legionnaires water test is part of a broader risk management strategy to prevent Legionella contamination. Implementing preventive measures, such as temperature control, water treatment, and system maintenance, is essential to minimise the risk. Legionella is a bacteria, which can cause a pneumonia-like disease called “Legionnaires’ Disease”. Legionnaires’ Disease is fatal in approximately 10% of people infected. Infection occurs when the bacteria is inhaled from aerosols of contaminated water. Aerosols can be produced anywhere water is splashed or sprayed, but some of the most common sources…
Metals
Whilst some metals are essential for life and are naturally available in our food and water, metals in drinking water can cause chronic or acute poisoning. Trace amounts of metals enter our water supplies naturally as rain percolates through rock; dissolving minute quantities into the water. This water enters larger water areas, which we then use as resources for drinking water. Contamination of our water resources by poisonous metals also occurs due to human activity. These activities include industrial processes, such as electronics and mining, agricultural activities, and discarding of wastes in landfills. The young are more prone to the toxic effects of heavy metals, as the rapidly developing body systems in the fetus, infants and young children are far more sensitive. Metals can also enter water through copper or lead pipes in the plumbing system. Just to give a few examples: Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium are required for normal body functions. Cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium and zinc are needed at low levels as catalysts for enzyme activities. Drinking water containing high levels of these metals: aluminum, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver, may be hazardous to your health.
Nitrate & Nitrite
In this section you can find test kits, which test for Nitrate/Nitrite only or which contain tests for Nitrate/Nitrite amongst other tests.
Peroxide
pH Level
In general, a water with a pH 7 is considered alkaline. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5 and for groundwater systems 6 to 8.5 whilst rain water has a pH of 5.6 or lower (slightly acidic). You can identify the source of water by testing the pH. Also to ensure your drinking the best water as possible a pH test should read 7 or more. Test the pH of water with the following tests: pH & Alkalinity Test Kit (50 test strips), ideal for ionisers Wide Range pH Test Kit (50 test strips), wide pH range of 2 – 12, ideal to compare different water sources SimplexHealth 5-in-1 (25 test strips), each testing the pH, Total Alkalinity, Nitrate, Nitrite & Total Hardness of your water Full Range pH Test Kit (100 or 150 test strips), wide pH range of 0 – 14, universal Precise range pH Test Kit (100 test strips), pH ranges 5.5 – 9.0 or 3.8 – 5.4, universal Litmus Paper (5 meter roll), pH ranges 0 – 14, 4.5 -7.5, 5.5 – 9, universal Liquid Reagent pH test drops (15ml), designed to test water & saliva, pH range of 4…
Sanitizer Test Kits
Sanitizing solutions are used in a wide range of industries including hotel, food and beverage industry. Ensuring the correct amount of sanitizer is present is vital. To make testing of sanitizing solutions easy, we offer various test strips which are easy to use. The strips can test for free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, peroxide, ozone and others; each covering a wide range of testing levels.
Total Chlorine
Chlorine in water may be present in two forms, free and combined. Free chlorine does the hard work of killing bacteria and oxidising contaminants. When you add chlorine to water, you are actually adding free chlorine. When the free chlorine combines with contaminants, it becomes combined chlorine, or chloramines. In water, this form of chlorine has very little sanitising ability and no oxidising ability. Total chlorine is the sum of both – combined chlorine and free chlorine. Levels of chlorine should be kept as low as possible whilst ensuring the quality of the water. Use a total chlorine test to establish the total amount of chlorine in water (= the sum of combined and free chlorine). Choose the total Chlorine test, depending on the range you want to cover, ie. the World Health Organisation has set a health based guideline maximum value of 5ppm (mg/l) for chlorine as a residual disinfectant in drinking water. Typically water companies keep the level of residual disinfectant in the form of free or combined chlorine to 0.5 mg/l or less.

Legionella
Legionella is a bacteria, which can cause a pneumonia-like disease called “Legionnaires’ Disease”. Legionnaires’ Disease is fatal in approximately 10% of people infected. Infection occurs when the bacteria is inhaled from aerosols of contaminated water. Aerosols can be produced anywhere water is splashed or sprayed, but some of the most common sources associated with Legionnaires’ Disease are cooling towers and showers. We offer two types of tests: Reliable and easy to use self tests (field tests) Accurate and fast laboratory tests To find out more about Successful Legionella Testing, click here.
Pools, Spa & Hydropool Analysis
Regular UKAS approved microbiological monitoring of pools, spas & hot tubs is important to comply with regulations. For example see Control of legionella and other infectious agents in spa-pool systems by HSE*. Vital monitoring tests include: Bacteria analysis (4in1) including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Coliform bacteria, E.coli and Total Viable/Aerobic Colony Count (TVC/AVC) Legionella analysis * Please note, that our recommendation is only a guidance and may not be complete.

Well Water & Borehole Water Testing Kits
Many home owners receive their water from private ground water wells. Regulations that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. As a result, owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants. As all private wells use ground water, if polluted ground water is consumed, it could cause illness. Ground water pollution can be caused by seepage through landfills, failed septic tanks, underground fuel tanks, fertilizers and pesticides, and runoff from urban areas. It is important that private ground water wells are checked regularly to ensure that the water is safe for drinking. Got a question about water testing?
