The water utility checks the water as it leaves the network — but not in your own pipes. Ageing plumbing, rust, chlorine and bacteria can all change water quality on its way to the tap. MICHLOR will collect a sample directly at your property and test it at the accredited GBA Polska laboratory.
Water utilities regularly check the water at sampling points as it leaves the network. The standards do not, however, cover a building's internal plumbing — from the moment water enters your home, responsibility passes to the property owner.
Steel, copper or PVC pipes can release heavy metals and encourage biofilm and bacteria to develop. The result? Water "from the mains" can be of poorer quality than your supplier states.
Every test is carried out by the GBA Polska laboratory, accredited by the PCA under no. AB 1467, in line with the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 standard.
A quick overview of the most important parameters. Ideal for an initial assessment of drinking water quality at the tap.
A complete picture of water quality, including heavy metals and organic compounds.
A complete analysis in line with the Ministry of Health regulation (Journal of Laws 2017, item 2294). Required at property handover and by the sanitary authorities.
Give us your name, phone number and town. We will call you back within 2 working hours and arrange a technician visit.
A MICHLOR technician comes to your home or office and collects the sample straight from the tap — following the laboratory procedure.
The samples go to the GBA Polska laboratory (PCA accreditation AB 1467). Testing is carried out to the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 standard.
You receive a full report with the results and, if needed, recommendations for choosing filtration or an EcoWater water softener.
Water utilities check the water as it leaves the network, but not inside your building's plumbing. Old steel or copper pipes can introduce iron, lead or copper. Testing at the taps gives you certainty that the water really is safe at the point where you drink it.
Results for the basic package are available within 24 hours of the sample reaching the laboratory. The extended and full packages usually take 3–5 working days, because the chemical analyses are more complex.
Yes. The GBA Polska laboratory holds PCA accreditation no. AB 1467 and works to the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 standard. Its test reports are recognised by the State Sanitary Inspection and the district sanitary inspectorates throughout Poland.
It depends on what has been exceeded. Hard water — an EcoWater softener. Heavy metals and nitrates — a reverse osmosis RO filter. Bacteria and Legionella — pipework disinfection. Once MICHLOR has the results, we prepare individual recommendations and a quote for the appropriate equipment.
No — our technician will come to you and collect the sample according to the correct procedure. Collecting samples yourself often leads to errors (contamination, sampling at the wrong time) that distort the microbiological results.
We will call you back within 2 hours on working days and arrange a time to collect the sample straight from your tap.
We work across Mazovia, Łódź, Podlasie and the Lublin region. We reply the same working day.
