The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) Section 2 requires employees to ensure plant and equipment is safe and without risks, this means that there is a responsibility to ensure there is no risk of infection from the pool water, or from any other system on the premises.
Regular testing of pool and spa facilities is required to ensure the safety of swimmers visiting your premises and it also plays an important role in protecting the infrastructure of your pool. Effective water management enables the optimism of your treatment plan, maintaining water balance and disinfection control.
Daily pool water testing is required to effectively monitor pH levels and disinfectant residuals such as chlorine and bromine, to prevent chemical irritation for swimmers. To maintain water quality, weekly tests must also be carried out to test parameters such as alkalinity, total dissolved solids, calcium hardness and water balance.
To eliminate the risk of recreational water illnesses, microbiological pool and spa tests must be done at least monthly. Microbiological testing is critical in stopping the spread of bacteria and viruses.
