HPC Water Test
SL-SL-DW-E-S-MJ1
Targeted test for one (1) drinking water sample for heterotrophic bacteria. Total heterotrophic plate count (HPC) measures the baseline microbial population in your water and is most appropriate for tracking changes over time via repeat testing.
A single HPC reading is hard to interpret alone and does not give information on safety by itself. Repeat testing can be used to capture shifts in microbial count, which can signal biofilm growth, stagnant conditions, or changes in treatment effectiveness. Use this test routinely to establish your water's natural baseline and catch unusual spikes.
