Bactiquick: Water Testing Kit
Portable Water Testing kit for Swimmers, Surfers, Citizen Science and event organisers
Bacteria in our rivers and ocean are a real risk for water lovers’ health. Pollution from untreated sewage, agricultural runoff, septic tanks and even wildlife can cause high levels of bacteria. Tides, currents and wind direction mean that these are changing constantly.
Traditional water quality tests take 24+ hours to get results. In that time, people are either being exposed to high levels of bacteria or needlessly missing out on doing what they love.
That’s why we created Bactiquick - the world’s first handheld device to test water quality in an instant. Bactiquick is portable, easy to use, and provides reliable results in just 15 minutes.
It detects a wider range of bacteria than most water quality tests - including Salmonella, Leptospirosis, Vibrio and many others - to protect you and your family. Whether you’re catching waves, swimming in rivers, or paddling with your kids, you deserve to know the risk before diving in.

Bactiquick is designed for use on the go. It’s small, lightweight and robust so you can test coastal or river water in an instant. Bactiquick reliably detects bacteria in rivers, the ocean and tidal pools. It can also be used in swimming pools and lidos.
Bactiquick is thoughtfully designed to be easy to use - even when your fingers are feeling the chill. Ideal when you’re off to catch waves, taking a bracing dip or going paddling with children. Connect your Bactiquick device to our free app, and log your test results to track pollution hotspots in real-time across the country.
Please note that Bactiquick can’t be used for testing water quality in lakes – something we hope to provide in future - or when rivers have a particularly high flow rate. A good rule of thumb for rivers is if the current is safe to swim in, you can test with Bactiquick.
Made from compact and lightweight materials, Bactiquick fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Weighing less than 250g and no bigger than a coffee mug, it’s convenient and easy to take with you.
