How Does Our Water Hygiene Management Work?
Here at WaterCare Solutions, our team strives to meet all safety standards and use specialist equipment to guarantee proper regulations are met, as well as assess for the most viable services available.
Our water hygiene management process is comprehensive and highly regarded among those that we have served.
Risk Assessment
We begin by conducting a detailed assessment of your water system. This includes evaluating the condition of water tanks, pipelines and associated equipment to identify flaws or areas requiring attention.
Inspection
Our experts perform detailed inspections of your water infrastructure. This process helps us analyse the overall condition, identify potential contamination sources and ensure all components are in working order.
Sampling
We collect water samples and analyse them for microbial contaminants, chemical composition and water quality. Our professionals are trained to perform accurate and reliable water sampling.
Our Water Hygiene Process
WaterCare Solutions follows strict procedures and has been performing water hygiene services across the UK for over a decade, ensuring all requirements are met.
- We perform filtration to remove suspended solids and bacteria, in addition to lowering harmful levels of manganese, calcium and magnesium with ion exchange or removal.
- Heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, fluoride and chlorine can be removed from water with our dosing and water control methods.
How Long Does The Water Hygiene Process Take?
The duration of water hygiene services can widely vary, depending on the scope and complexity of the tasks involved. Services from testing, cleaning, disinfecting and maintenance of water systems will all have different process lengths.
Routine water hygiene maintenance, such as inspections and testing can take anywhere between a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the water system.
Extensive services, including deep cleaning, disinfection or remediation of water systems with issues like Legionella contamination, can take anywhere between several days to weeks.
Ultimately, water hygiene is an ongoing process and should be factored into routine maintenance schedules as appropriate. We aim to provide prompt and efficient hygienic water treatment while never skimping on professionalism, quality and adherence to all regulations.
What are the legal requirements for water hygiene in the UK?
The UK has several legal requirements and guidelines that you should be aware of, with the primary focus being to control the safety and quality of drinking water and prevent waterborne diseases.
The legal requirements include:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - Places a duty on employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees and others relating to water hygiene.
- The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 - The safe handling and use of substances, including water treatment chemicals.
- The Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2016 - Set out standards for the quality of water supplied to consumers, including chemical, microbial and aesthetic quality standards.
Who Is Responsible For Water Hygiene Where I Work?
In many cases, the building owner is responsible for upholding these safety standards. They must guarantee that water systems are appropriately planned, installed, run and maintained in order to minimise health hazards.
Furthermore, the the approved code of practice ACOP L8 Rev 4 require the person in charge of the premises to control the danger of Legionella bacteria growth in cooling towers and evaporative condensers. This entails completing risk analyses, putting control mechanisms in place and conducting routine monitoring.
We adhere tightly to these regulations with all our water hygiene services and help you to remain compliant in the process. Not sure what regulations apply to you? Talk to our expert team and we’ll help you stay on the right side of the law.

Our Testimonials
We are a company specialising in water audits and leak detection and we are often asked about Legionella and Risk Assessments by our client. Having met and assessed WaterCare Solutions we were happy to put them forward to a client managing a large industrial estate, who was unaware as to their level of non-compliance in respect of the A.C.O.P L8 (Rev4) & HSG274 Part 2.
Following a risk assessment of the unoccupied units and a very successful training session, the client is now compliant and understands their responsibilities. We have furthered our relationship with the client and are pleased to recommend WaterCare Solutions whenever we get an enquiry.
As a buyer I need to be confident that when I place an order with a service provider it delivers both value for money and great service. Having used Mark for 30 years now, and never been let down, it was an easy decision to support him at WaterCare Solutions. They continue to deliver, providing peace of mind that our water systems are in great hands.
Mark and now WaterCare Solutions have looked after our water tube boilers for most of their 34 years life and despite them having a predicted 25-year lifespan they are still going strong. A fitting testimony to the great water treatment they have received over the years.
With our pre-treatment plant and ultra-pure turbine water injection system also in safe hands you need look no further for a complete chemical and service package for your plant.
Highly recommend.
Switching water treatment companies was not a decision we made lightly, however, I am pleased to say Mark and the team at WaterCare Solutions exceeded our expectations. Not only was the transition seamless but we now realise we should have made the move much sooner. We finally have the confidence that our water systems are fully compliant. Don’t be afraid to change and don’t put up with second rate, there are quality companies out there and WaterCare Solutions are one of them.
Looking forward to a long successful partnership.
We were looking for a new equipment package for our cooling tower, but after having look at several manufacturers online we were confused as to what to go with. WaterCare Solutions discussed the pros and cons of several different options and costs with us and feel we now have the best fit for our process. A great install and commissioning too; unit is working well and we could not be more pleased.
