Health impact analysis and advice
The analysis provides the client with a clear demonstration of the short-, medium-, and long-term harmful health effects that existing disinfection procedures have on consumers. Based on the study, an expert will provide the client with clear guidance on what disinfection procedures should be carried out, how extensively and how often, in order to ensure full protection of the health of the clients. The composition of the water will also indicate the level of risk to the health of the water users that the customer is taking on in the case of conventional chlorine disinfection.
Drinking water analysis and advice
The purpose of the analysis is to define the water use options for the client. The customer can also ascertain whether the water to be tested complies with the drinking water quality test parameters stipulated in the current Government Regulation 201/2001 (X.25), i.e. whether it is suitable for use as drinking water.
The basic chemical analysis of drinking water will show whether the water tested is of drinking water quality and, if not, what technology and treatment can be used to improve it to the right quality. Based on the deviations detected during the test, the expert creates a proposal for other non-drinking water uses (irrigation, domestic, pool water) and for the water treatment or additive methods to optimise water use in the proposed uses. The advice and recommendation shall also indicate if the water under consideration is not suitable for any of the other uses or if the expected cost of the proposed technology is not proportionate to the benefits of the use.
Swimming pool water analysis and advice
The purpose of the analysis is to ensure that the water to be tested complies with the bathing water quality test parameters prescribed in the applicable government regulation, i.e. that it is suitable for use as pool water (bathing water).
The pool water test will show the general quality and condition of the pool water being tested and the type of treatments that have been applied in the past. Testing is recommended in all cases where the user detects problems with the functioning of the pool (e.g. precipitation, algae growth, irritation, pH adjustment problems, abnormal parameter values). If, based on the anomalies previously outlined, the reported problem is multi-directional, with apparent inconsistencies in the water during dosing or use, then an expert examination is always required.
Based on the summary and evaluation of the test parameters, our experts describe in detail the steps to be followed for the use of the pool water, together with a calculated dosage recommendation and a summary of the procedure to be followed to deal with any discrepancies arising from the results. If the presence of certain parameters or extreme differences in parameter values indicate that the water has been used for too long or is in an extreme condition due to incorrect dosing, the advice may include partial or complete water replacement. In such cases, specific information on refilling or recharging will also be provided.
Cooling circuit water analysis and advice
The aim of the cooling circuit water test is to identify any deviations in the use of the most commonly used, strictly pre-treated, pre-set, additive-quality feed waters.
The cooling circuit water analysis will show whether and to what extent there is a detectable deviation from the original values. The test is necessary if the periodicity of the test period prescribed in the operating instructions for the cooling circuit has elapsed or if a specific problem (leakage, blockage, corrosion, scale or biological fouling, odour, deterioration of cooling/heating efficiency) is detected.
Based on the test results, which must always be compared with the initial quality of the original feed water, results measured in accordance with the standard are produced. If a deviation from the original quality is found, the cause and a detailed, specific treatment proposal will be identified.
Chemical engineering advice
When designing and renovating spas and hotels, the contractor in charge of mechanical engineering is often also responsible for the preparation of the water treatment plan. However, design or construction companies specialising in mechanical engineering do not have the latest knowledge of health-conscious chemical and water treatment solutions. As a result, the technical content of the installations may not meet the water quality requirements and the relevant professional standards, which may result in additional costs for the client.
Therefore, the aim of chemical engineering advice is to ensure the optimal design and construction of the equipment and processes required for disinfection and decontamination, based on the specific characteristics of the water and the environment.
WATERCOMP’s experts will prepare a chemical plan based on the analysis of the site, the number of guests expected, the amount of water to be used, the diameter of the pipes used in the system, the volume of water, all while preparing the documentation of risks and hazards (scale removal, water balance restoration, etc.). The advice includes the sizing of the equipment according to the flow rate, determining the chemicals to be dosed and their quantities, recommending the dosing pumps, and the most efficient way of treating the wastewater.
