Drinking Water Field Testing
Portable testing supports rapid screening of drinking-water sources, treatment systems, tanks and distribution points for key physical and chemical parameters.
Turn routine measurements into useful operating information.
Portable testing supports rapid screening of drinking-water sources, treatment systems, tanks and distribution points for key physical and chemical parameters.
- Use clean sample containers and avoid contamination from taps or storage vessels.
- Test disinfectant residuals close to the point of use.
- Compare values across source, treatment and distribution locations.
- Confirm regulatory or critical findings using an approved laboratory.

Drinking Water Field Testing FAQs
How often should field testing be performed?
Frequency depends on system risk, operating variability, treatment programme and regulatory requirements. High-risk or rapidly changing systems should be checked more frequently.
Where should samples be collected?
Use representative points that reflect the water being controlled. Define consistent locations so results can be compared over time.
What should be done with an unexpected result?
Repeat the test using fresh sample and clean equipment, review the procedure, then confirm critical findings through an approved laboratory or technical specialist.
