Drinking Water Hygiene Begins with Control – and Trust in Expertise

Drinking water is our most essential food – but its quality doesn’t end at the waterworks. Between the house connection and the tap, hygienic risks can develop that remain invisible at first glance.

A well-known example: Legionella.

These bacteria multiply in warm, stagnant water and can cause severe pneumonia (Legionnaires’ disease) when inhaled through tiny water droplets.

→ This is where the work of drinking water testing laboratories and certified sampling specialists comes into play.

Only through proper sampling in accordance with the German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV) and precise analytical testing can risks be reliably identified – before they pose a threat to human health.

• Improperly taken samples create a false sense of security – professional sampling, on the other hand, provides reliable results.

• Testing laboratories bear great responsibility: they form the vital link between operator obligations, technical safety, and health protection.

• Regular inspections allow early intervention – before limits are exceeded or users are put at risk.

  
  

Conclusion: Drinking water hygiene is a team effort – between operators, specialists, and qualified laboratories.Only those who test regularly can ensure lasting protection.

→ Because water is life – and hygiene is its foundation.
