Water Makeup Testing and Analysis for Closed Heating Systems
Water Makeup Testing and Analysis for Closed Heating Systems in Industrial and Commercial Buildings

This policy aligns with BS 8552:2012 and BSRIA BG 50/2013, reflecting best practices for sampling, monitoring, and treating water in closed heating systems. It ensures optimal system performance, compliance, and longevity for industrial and commercial buildings.

System Water Testing Program

Our water testing program adheres to BS 8552:2012 standards, ensuring accurate sampling and analysis of key parameters—corrosion, inhibitor levels, and pH. Engineers use advanced diagnostic tools to identify water quality concerns, enabling swift and effective corrective actions in a single site visit. Results and recommendations are meticulously documented in a detailed service report, accessible via your LogBook Portal for complete transparency.

The Importance of Standards

BS 8552:2012 provides a reliable framework for water sampling, ensuring consistent, high-quality results. This standard minimizes the risks of inefficiencies and damage caused by corrosion or scaling. Additionally, BSRIA BG 50/2013 outlines best practices for water treatment in closed systems, enabling proactive management that enhances system longevity, energy efficiency, and operational safety.

Benefits to Clients

By adhering to these standards, we offer clients significant benefits:

  • Reduced Operating Costs: Proactive management helps prevent costly breakdowns and repairs.
  • Increased System Longevity: Regular testing and treatment mitigate wear and extend the lifespan of system components.
  • Improved Efficiency: Optimised water quality reduces energy consumption, saving on utility expenses.
  • Compliance Assurance: All processes meet or exceed industry standards, ensuring peace of mind.

Planned Visits and Recordkeeping

In accordance with BS 8552:2012 and BSRIA BG 50/2013, our engineers update your LogBook Portal after each visit. The report includes a clear record of detected substances, treatments implemented, and any recommendations for further action. This meticulous approach ensures traceable and high-quality documentation, supporting compliance and informed decision-making.

Periodic Reviews

Annual reviews, conducted in line with BSRIA BG 50/2013 recommendations, form a critical part of our service. Where required, additional inspections are scheduled to address emerging issues, ensuring uninterrupted performance and system reliability.
