Building a routine monitoring plan

Begin with consistent sampling points, a practical testing frequency and a simple record of results. Compare trends rather than relying on a single isolated test. When counts or colour responses change, review cleaning, system operation, treatment dosage and recent process changes.

Suggested sampling locations

  • Source or borewell
  • Storage tank outlet
  • Purifier inlet and outlet
  • Tap after flushing
  • Remote distribution point

Practical workflow

  1. Select the Bactaslyde product for the organism or microbial group of interest.
  2. Collect a representative sample using clean handling practices.
  3. Apply the sample, incubate and interpret the test according to the supplied instructions.
  4. Record the date, point, operating condition and result.
  5. Compare with previous results and take corrective action according to your internal programme.

Why Bactaslyde is economical for routine testing

The test formats are ready to use, require minimal setup and allow frequent testing close to the process. This makes it practical to monitor more locations and build useful trend data without sending every routine sample away.
