The Vital Role of Internal Pipework Chlorination

Internal pipework chlorination is a linchpin in guaranteeing the purity of water systems within buildings. By removing harmful bacteria and contaminants, this process ensures that the water flowing through internal plumbing remains not only safe but also fit for consumption. 

When executed by seasoned professionals like us at Pipe Testing Services (PTS), our service confirms that the chlorinated water is not just safe but optimal for drinking. We uphold rigorous standards, deploying approved chemicals and industry best practices.

Internal pipework chlorination is imperative in many scenarios, including new installations, modifications to existing systems, microbiological sampling results indicating high bacterial counts, suspected contamination, and extended periods of inactivity without routine flushing.
