Groundwater
Groundwater is monitored through regular and targeted analysis of relevant parameters. Clients for groundwater monitoring are competent authorities, engineering offices, and public water suppliers.
For over 25 years, Institut Kuhlmann has been commissioned by the State Institute for the Environment, Measurements, and Nature Conservation of Baden-Württemberg (LUBW) to sample and analyze groundwater.
Wastewater
We check wastewater for compliance with threshold values, for example, for the discharge of wastewater into the public sewer system which requires prior approval.
Monitoring of water quality in swimming pools and spas
We assist public and private operators of pools, wellness, therapy and spa facilities with the monitoring of pool water quality in accordance with DIN 19643: 2012. This standard specifies the requirements for the quality of swimming and bathing pool water.
In addition to optimal water quality, visitors expect perfect hygienic conditions throughout the facility. We also check the shower water in sanitary areas for Legionella species and the hygienic status of surfaces.
For natural bodies of water and ponds used for swimming, monitoring is specified in EU Directive (2006/7/EC) and state regulations as well as recommendations from the Federal Environment Agency.
Institut Kuhlmann has many years of experience in the analysis and monitoring of hygiene in pools and natural bodies of water used for swimming. Our services include:
- Professional sampling
- Microbiological, chemical, and physicochemical analysis
- Report and data transfer
- Consultation
