Private Water Supply Testing/Sampling
A thorough and accurate water analysis is a fundamental starting point for effective water treatment design. To achieve this, working with UKAS-accredited samplers and laboratories is essential. These credentials ensure the highest standards of testing and compliance with regulatory requirements.
At Prosep Filter Services, we pride ourselves on our team of UKAS-accredited engineers. This accreditation signifies that we adhere to rigorous procedures in our sampling and analysis processes. By choosing us, you can be confident that we provide a comprehensive water analysis certificate that regulatory and financial bodies widely accept, including mortgage lenders and local authorities.
Our process begins with detailed water supply sampling, allowing us to identify potential contaminants or issues. Afterwards, we send the samples to a UKAS-accredited laboratory, where experienced technicians conduct various tests. These tests check for common contaminants like iron, manganese and bacteria and assess other vital water quality parameters.
Understanding the regulations surrounding private water supplies is crucial. The Drinking Water Inspectorate oversees accreditation assessments and issues UKAS registration numbers, which dictate all private water supply regulations throughout the UK. This oversight ensures that your water supply meets safety and quality standards.

Buying a House with a Private Water Supply?
If you’re buying a house without mains water, it usually has a private water supply if someone previously inhabited it. Recently, mortgage lenders have increasingly requested proof that this water supply is safe to drink. Our UKAS Accredited samplers follow strict UKAS procedures, ensuring that any financial or government institution accepts our water analysis reports.
