Bathing water testing

The laboratory of Fővárosi Vízművek will perform accredited sampling, water testing and evaluation activities on bathing water samples on external orders, as well.

When using swimming pools and jacuzzis disinfectants or additives (e.g. algaecides, flocculants, pH reducers, etc.) must be used in such a way that they do not cause harm to health.
For a safe and carefree use of the pool, it is recommended that you monitor and periodically check the microbiological and chemical components. You can find the group of parameters to be examined in general on our online customer service.
Depending on the water treatment procedure you are using, we will be happy to make further suggestions on the range of parameters to be tested.
