Complete Water Safety Test Bundle - Bacteria + Legionella

Both Spa Trade Group laboratory swab tests in one kit: the bacteria panel for E. coli, total coliforms and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, plus the Legionella surface swab. Two samples, one prepaid return and one clear emailed report.

• Tests one swab sample for Escherichia coli (E. coli), total coliform bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Tests a second surface swab for Legionella bacteria.
• Uses a UKAS-accredited UK laboratory for microbiological analysis.
• Includes prepaid return packaging for both samples.
• Provides one written report by email covering both analyses, with recommended next steps.

Available formats

Available in 1 sample, 2 samples, 4 samples and 6 samples.

• 1 sample
• 2 samples
• 4 samples
• 6 samples

When you need it

• You are commissioning, handing over or recommissioning a hot tub and want the full microbiological picture in one visit.
• A holiday-let or private hot tub needs both a hygiene check and a Legionella check.
• You are investigating a water-quality complaint and want organism-specific evidence rather than a chemistry snapshot.
• You want one order, one return and one report instead of two separate kits.

How to use

1. Read all instructions before opening the sampling materials.
2. Take the bacteria swab from the waterline or surface specified in the instructions, without touching the tip.
3. Take the Legionella swab from the hot tub waterline or sauna or steam-room surface as directed.
4. Label each sample, record where and when it was taken, and seal both as directed.
5. Post both samples the same day in the prepaid return packaging, Monday to Thursday.
6. Receive the combined written report by email after laboratory analysis is complete.

How it works

A combined swab sampling kit for laboratory analysis of E. coli, total coliforms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella.

Two swabs are taken from the selected points, sealed and returned in the prepaid packaging. The laboratory runs the bacteria panel on one and the Legionella analysis on the other, then issues a single written report.

Pseudomonas, coliforms and Legionella are the organisms most associated with hot tub illness. Testing for all of them at once gives a documented baseline that supports cleaning, maintenance and escalation decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What does the combined kit test for?

E. coli, total coliform bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on one swab, and Legionella bacteria on a second swab.

Is it cheaper than buying both kits?

Yes. The combined kit is priced 5% below the two single kits bought separately.

Is return postage included?

Yes. Prepaid return packaging for both samples is included.

Do I get one report or two?

One emailed report covering both analyses, with recommended next steps.

Does this satisfy HSG282 commercial testing?

No. It is useful supplementary evidence, but commercial spa pools need the site-specific sampling programme described in HSG282.
