Water quality monitoring plays an increasingly important role across the public sector, from environmental protection and wastewater management to recreational water safety and regulatory compliance. As requirements evolve, organisations need testing solutions that deliver accurate results while remaining practical for field and operational use.
Lovibond® has been supporting analytical measurement for more than 140 years and is recognised worldwide for its expertise in water analysis. Today, our water testing solutions are used by utilities, local authorities, environmental agencies, laboratories, contractors and facilities teams across a wide range of applications.
Our portfolio covers drinking water, wastewater, environmental monitoring, recreational water and industrial water testing, providing professionals with tools to make informed decisions based on reliable data. From routine checks to more advanced compliance programmes, Lovibond® instruments are designed to deliver consistent, repeatable results in both laboratory and field environments.
Recent regulatory developments, including the Environment Act 2021, have increased the importance of robust monitoring and verification practices. In response, Lovibond® offers practical solutions that support organisations responsible for water quality monitoring, helping them validate results, verify monitoring equipment performance and maintain confidence in the data they collect.
Among these solutions is the Lovibond® Section 82 Compliance Kit, developed to support independent field testing and verification of permanently deployed monitoring systems. The kit provides a portable approach to spot checking key parameters, helping teams demonstrate confidence in monitoring performance and support reporting requirements.
Our solutions also support water hygiene management programmes across the UK. Lovibond® instruments, test kits and reagents are used daily by facilities teams, water treatment specialists and service providers to monitor and maintain water systems in accordance with ACOP L8, the UK Health and Safety Executive’s Approved Code of Practice for controlling Legionella bacteria. By providing reliable testing tools, Lovibond® helps organisations protect water systems and support established water safety procedures.
