Protecting the safety of water, which is indispensable to daily life
Water Quality Analysis
Water is indispensable in our lives, especially for drinking, personal leisure, various treatments, and waste disposal processes. Whether clean or dirty, simply leave water inspections to us, a registered measurement and certifications service provider for drinking water quality testing in buildings. You can use our service to address concerns about the quality of tap water or well water in your home.

Drinking Water (tap water) Inspection
This is an important inspection to confirm the safety of drinking water (tap water). Periodic inspections are conducted based on the Building Management Law and the Food Sanitation Laws. On top of that, the quality of water that is used daily can change/fluctuate, so it is important to pay close attention to it – for instance its color, turbidity, taste, and smell on a daily basis, and to test the water quality regularly once a year, even in private residences. We recommend an “11-item” test if you want a quick inspection of the water contamination, however, a “16-item” test that includes checking of heavy metals such as iron and lead in addition to the 11-item test will be recommended if you are concerned about the condition of your plumbing. We also offer variety of other inspection items to meet your needs.

Legionella Bacteria Inspection
Legionella bacteria are a type of indigenous bacteria that live in the natural environment at water temperatures ranging from 20 to 50°C and multiply the most in environments around 36°C. The bacteria often grows in man-made environments, such as systems that circulate water or have a relatively high water temperature. It can also be inhaled from aerosols generated in jacuzzies, etc. If these bacteria proliferate, there is a risk of developing Legionnaires’ disease due to infection.

Periodic inspections are required by the Hotel Business Law, the Public Bath Houses Act, and various standards and ordinances related
to hygiene management.
In some cases, the inspection frequency may be set by the facility; please contact us for details.
Pool Water Quality Testing
We inspect water quality in accordance with “Sanitary Standards for Swimming Pools,” “School Environmental Sanitation Standards,” and local government ordinances. These will ensure that proper sanitation is maintained.

- *1 Six items: pH value, turbidity, potassium permanganate consumed, colon bacillus, general bacteria, free residual chlorine
- *2 This testing is performed when there are facilities that tend to generate aerosols, such as jacuzzies,
or when there are facilities with relatively high water temperatures. - *3 For pools open year-round and during the summer months, testing is performed from June to September.
For pools that are open at other times of the year, testing is performed when the water temperature is relatively high.
The contents may vary depending on the region. Please check with your local public health center, etc.
Public Bathhouse Water Quality Testing
Facilities with bathhouses (hotels, inns, welfare facilities, gym, etc.) are required to have its bath water tested in accordance with the Public Bath Houses Act and local government ordinances. Since tests will vary depending on the type of facility and the conditions of the equipment, we will propose the optimum test plan after hearing from you in detail.

- *2 6 items: TOC (or potassium permanganate consumed), coliform group count, turbidity, Legionella bacteria, pH value, and color
- *3 For bathtub water without a filter and with complete daily water replacement, the inspection should be done at least once a year.
For bathtub water used daily, the inspection should be done at least twice a year.
If the bathtub water is used daily and is not chlorinated, the inspection should be disinfected at least four times a year.
The frequency and content may vary by region, so please check with your local public health center.
Cooling Water Quality Testing
We inspect corrosion and scaling according to water quality guidelines for refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. Water used in cooling towers installed on rooftops, etc. may gradually become dirty, resulting in inefficient cooling, corrosion, and scaling. In addition, cooling towers are prone to the growth of Legionella bacteria, so regular maintenance work will be crucial. We recommend that water quality testing be performed regularly to prevent problems in advance.

Miscellaneous Water Quality Testing
If a building falls under the category of “specified building” which is a building used by many people and includes department stores, commercial facilities, or hotels – the Building Management Law will be applied to these buildings. When water that is reclaimed from treated wastewater, well water, rainwater, etc. are used for landscaping such as sprinkling and fountains, or for miscellaneous use such as for flushing toilets, it is mandatory for water quality testing to be conducted periodically. Inspection items will differ depending on the application.

Leakage Analysis
By analyzing the water leaked from certain facilities, we are able to specify the type of water (rainwater, groundwater, tap water, domestic wastewater, or sewage). By pinpointing the type of water, we are able to get to the bottom of the cause of the leakage at an early stage. *For your information, we do not conduct leakage inspections. Thank you for your understanding.
