Heat Disinfection of Tap

 

 

This method is applicable for metal taps, but not for any plastic taps or taps with non-
removable anti-splash devices.

 

Turn off the tap fully, and flame the closed tap with a small Propane or Butane burner; cease 
flaming if/when any steam issues from the tap.

 

Flush the tap until the water cools to its original temperature.

 

Fill the prepared bacteriological sampling bottle (leave a

 

slight air gap at the top) and seal the 

lid tightly.

 

 

Dip Sample

 

 

Sterilise the sampling cup by igniting 1ml of methanol/alcohol in the cup.

 

Allow to cool.

 

Rinse the alcohol from the cup with water from the sample source.

 

Immerse the cup into the water source to obtain the sample.

 

Pour into the prepared bacteriological sampling bottle (leave a

 

slight air gap at the top) and 

seal the lid tightly.
