Our bathing water tests can tell us if there is a potential risk of illness if there are microbiological quanities above certain limits.
The test results are explained by the standard terms: ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘sufficient’, or ‘poor’.
In the case of 'excellent' water quality the risk of contracting gastro-intestinal illness is predicted to be circa 3%, in ‘good’ waters circa 5%, in ‘sufficient’ waters 8-9% and in ‘poor’ waters circa >10%.
Bathing water quality below the general background quality expected for that water is generally investigated.
