Product Description
This test quantifies the presence of heterotrophic plate count bacteria in water samples, which can indicate the general microbial quality of the water. These bacteria are naturally occurring in water systems and may not be harmful, but elevated levels can indicate contamination or inadequate water treatment. Regular testing helps ensure water quality and safety, especially in drinking water systems, cooling towers, and recreational water environments.
