Every month it's time to ensure there's no unwanted build up of bacteria in the bath
Bio Logical Testing
Each month you should arrange a biological water test from an accredited 3rd party laboratory for bacterial testing.
What to do when the results are in?
If the results show your maintaining good levels of water sanitation then continue as you are remembering to adjust your regime as and when required. We still recommend you complete a system flush which will mean draining and replacing the water.
If the results show concerning levels of bacteria follow the following
- Complete a System Flush
- Complete a deep clean of the inside of the bath
- Seek to understand why the results aren’t as you expected
- Review the daily and weekly water logs
- You may need to increase the frequency of your maintenance regime
- Ensure bathers are following pre-showering

Completing a monthly system flush not only ensures the unseen parts of your unit are kept clean, it also gives you a fresh start of water for the following month.
