Our Water Quality Samplers travel across the North East region, sampling and carrying out chlorine measurements and other tests to make sure we’re meeting our high quality standards.

Water is a 24/7, regional business, and our Water Quality Samplers offer 365 day cover and enjoy being out and about, travelling to customer sites.

About you
