Overseas Holiday home Drinking Water Test

I have a holiday cottage in another country and want to test the water to see if it is safe to drink ………

Waterlink, being the commercial arm or South East Water have extensive experience in the testing of water intended for drinking.

Water that has been sampled abroad can be tested in our UK laboratories at Frimley with a similar quality of results to water sourced in the UK.

Should you wish us to provide a water quality test for water that has been sampled overseas, please contact us to confirm the nature of the tests required. Where the sample is to be tested for physical contaminants, any delay between sampling and testing shouldn't be of concern.

Where the sampling is to detect biological contaminants, we need to consider the delay between sampling and testing and other environmental factors such as temperature and transport.

Should you require the testing of water sourced overseas, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to advise on the practicalities.

As with many water tests, routine testing of various water sources can often be carried out on the spot using off the shelf products. Where it is important to carry out a more complete test, our services are available.

Please take into account any restrictions in carrying liquids in hand luggage by plane.
