Detect Bacteria in Your Water

How does the bacteria test strip kit work?

This bacteria test uses test strips. You immerse the strip for a few seconds and then check the result against a reference scale.

The innovation behind this test is that it provides a result in about fifteen minutes, while most bacteriological tests require at least 48 h. 

The test is designed for spa and pool users... it does not identify the bacteria present but detects whether or not the tested water contains bacteria.

This test detects coliform and non-coliform bacteria at 10³ cfu / ml. 

This kit includes 2 test strips.

Can your partner laboratory test for bacteria?

Yes, bacteriological testing is one of the first tests performed by our partner laboratory. It precisely measures the following:

Effects of bacteria on the body

There are a vast number of different bacteria, so it is impossible to list here all the effects these bacteria can have on the human body. In general, waterborne pathogenic bacteria directly infect the gastrointestinal tract and are excreted in stool.

Bacteria transmitted through contact or inhalation infect the respiratory tract, the skin, or even the brain directly in the most dangerous cases.

E. coli can be fatal for vulnerable people : babies, children and older adults who are already ill.
