HSG282: The Facts

1. Compliance isn’t legally required, but highly recommended

While you don’t legally need to comply with HSG282, it’s highly recommended that you do to meet the requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 to maintain best practice.

2. pH testing is a vital part of meeting HSG282 guidelines

Measuring pH twice-daily ensures the water in your hot tub or spa pool is within specific parameters, maintaining the right standard of sanitation to protect against sickness.

3. Protecting you, your business and customers from risk

Compliance keeps you, your staff and your customers safe from a range of serious diseases and infections, including Legionnaires’ disease, staph infections and giardiasis.

4. The right testing equipment helps you achieve compliance

A high-quality pH tester is vital to achieve compliance with HSG282, ensuring you’re able to complete accurate, reliable measurements twice a day, every single day for your records.

Why is testing important for brewing?

Getting your parameters to the right level is integral for consistently producing the correct taste and colour for your beer brand. pH, temperature and sugar all play vital roles in achieving the beer your customers want while helping you adhere to all necessary standards for the nutritional content of your product. Hanna’s range of beer testing instrumentation provides peace of mind that your testing results are accurate and reliable, allowing you to achieve the best beer in every batch.

FAQs

Which beer pH tester is best for professional use?

An advanced pH meter for brewing is the best option for commercial operations. Hanna’s HI-98167 Portable Beer pH Meter provides the exceptional accuracy required for brewing beer in large batches for sale, offering exceptionally accurate measurements to make adjustments and monitoring of beer effortless from mashing to the final product.

Why use portable beer testing instrumentation?

Benchtop pH meters and thermometers take up space and can only be used in specific areas of your workplace, restricting when and where you can easily monitor your wort and mash. Portable pH meters and thermometers with direct probes provide an easy way to measure anywhere within your facility without the need to return to a benchtop. The HI-96841 °Plato Sugar Refractometer is also entirely portable, allowing you to quickly and easily measure sugar on-site.
