Water Analysis Bacteria Plus

To ensure reliable water hygiene, a water test can be very useful. Bacteria can enter tap water through various pathways and pose a potential health risk. In particular, the total bacterial count is often elevated in microbiological tests. Coliform bacteria, which can cause gastrointestinal problems, are especially concerning.

The Water Analysis Bacteria Plus not only includes the standard bacterial tests but also specifically checks for enterococci.

Why is a bacterial water test important?

Although tap water in Switzerland is generally of very high quality, contaminants may still infiltrate the plumbing system. The local water supplier guarantees excellent water quality, but only up to the house connection.

Bacteria can also be introduced from external sources – for example through contaminated splash water or dishcloths. They can multiply in poorly maintained filter systems, stagnant water pipes (dead ends) or faulty installations.

Particular care should be taken if immunocompromised individuals live in the household. The Water Analysis Bacteria Plus helps you reliably assess the microbiological quality of your water.

Which bacteria are tested?

• Total bacterial count at 22 °C incubation
• Total bacterial count at 36 °C incubation
• Testing for coliform bacteria and E. coli
• Testing for enterococci

✪ The total bacterial count is essential for assessing microbiological safety. It indicates how many microorganism colonies grow on a nutrient medium after inoculating the sample.
