Closed heating and chilled water systems require regular monitoring to maintain system efficiency and prevent corrosion, fouling and microbiological contamination.
Closed heating and chilled water systems require regular monitoring to maintain system efficiency and prevent corrosion, fouling and microbiological contamination.
We support monitoring programmes and aiding compliance in accordance with BSRIA guidance documents BG29 and BG50 which provide industry best practice for the treatment and monitoring of closed heating and cooling systems. These guidance documents recommend regular laboratory testing to assess both chemical water quality and microbiological activity within the system.
Testing is carried out by Cheshire Scientific’s laboratory, providing rapid and reliable analytical results for water treatment professionals, estates departments, facilities managers and building operators, helping them identify potential issues early.
With convenient London sample drop-off hubs and rapid transport to our laboratory, samples are received and processing starts the same day, ensuring accurate and reliable results
Samples submitted at London hubs are:
This ensures testing is completed within required holding times, protecting sample integrity.
All analysis is performed by Cheshire Scientific’s accredited laboratory, operating to recognised testing standards and strict quality management procedures.
Our laboratory combines advanced analytical instrumentation with experienced microbiology and chemistry teams, delivering accurate results for water treatment monitoring programmes.
For larger sampling programmes we can also provide:
Closed system water testing is essential for maintaining the condition and efficiency of heating and cooling systems.
Our laboratory supports monitoring programmes for systems including:
Regular testing helps ensure systems remain chemically balanced, protected from corrosion, free from contamination and operating efficiently. Therefore reducing costs, extending asset lives and minimising disruption.
Closed system water chemistry testing may include parameters such as:
Monitoring these parameters helps detect:
Although closed systems are designed to minimise contamination, microbiological growth can still occur, particularly where systems experience oxygen ingress, stagnation or contamination during installation or maintenance.
BSRIA guidance recommends microbiological monitoring where required.
Our laboratory can provide microbiological analysis including:
These microorganisms can contribute to:
Monitoring microbiological activity allows water treatment specialists to identify biological contamination early and take the necessary action to ensure the system operates efficiently and the system life is maximised.
We support water treatment professionals, facilities managers and compliance teams.
With convenient London sample drop-off hubs and rapid transport to our accredited laboratory, samples submitted locally are processed the same day they arrive, ensuring all microbiological holding times are maintained.
If you require closed system water testing in accordance with BSRIA BG29 or BG50, our laboratory team will be happy to assist.
