Legionella Control Systems

The water in a cooling tower is warm and exposed to air, and as a result, Legionella bacteria can grow and multiply quickly as well as get heavily distributed. Legionella is a type of bacteria that can grow in water systems and can cause a severe respiratory disease called Legionnaires’ disease. Cooling towers are one of the primary sources of Legionella outbreaks, so it is essential to test for Legionella in cooling towers regularly.

Three of the main causes for legionella growth are temperature, water age and stagnation. These become huge red flags if hot tubs are not properly maintained. Hot tubs are generally kept at a temperature between 100°-102°, which is a prime temperature for legionella growth.

Studies suggest that Legionella bacteria are found in approximately 50% of building water systems. This can prompt facility managers to immediately test for Legionella. However, a single set of Legionella testing provides only a brief snapshot of the plumbing system condition on a specific day at a specific time. A comprehensive Legionella risk assessment with an ASSE 12080 certified engineer provides a more complete view of potential vulnerabilities and ways to manage them.

ASHRAE has developed standards to ensure safe and healthy indoor environments including ASHRAE 188 and ASHRAE 514. These two standards focus on different aspects of building design, maintenance, and operation related to health and safety. The ASHRAE standards has information on Legionella risk assessments, testing and water management programs (WMP). Learn more today on both of these standards. https://lnkd.in/g56MfbSk #ashrae #watermanagement #hospitals #facilitymanagement

Healthcare facilities have multiple guidelines to follow including ones from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Joint Commission, ASHRAE, and the CDC. View our new article that offers an overview of all guidelines and implications of not following them. https://lnkd.in/gnu3qNZB #hospital #healthcareengineering #facilitymanagement

Point of entry (POE) filtration and/or treatment can be excellent options to remediate and mitigate Legionella as well as other bacteria, viruses, cysts and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens. POE is suitable for use in a wide variety of environments in which at-risk individuals may come in contact with water including hospitals, nursery homes, hotels, and more.

Point of use (POU) Legionella control is used just before the water is delivered to a user. It typically takes the form of a filter that removes the Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. For example, a POU Legionella filter may be added to a sink faucet or a shower faucet and can be used for Legionella remediation and ongoing Legionella mitigation. Learn more today. https://lnkd.in/gvDYCadc #facilitymanagers #healthcareengineering #hospitals #correctionalfacility #hotel

Legionella Control Systems offers many ways to mitigate Legionella and prevent Legionnaires’ Disease, but let’s presume that before you ever contacted us, you had the worst-case scenario: your facility has a confirmed case of Legionnaires’ Disease. There are many questions that will be asked by an expert Legionella remediation company such as Legionella Control Systems in this situation. However, there is one important question that you need to quickly ask yourself: “Can we afford to shut down our facility while we remediate Legionnaires’ Disease and Legionella?” Learn more today. https://lnkd.in/d4GbNQM4 #legionella #hotel #hospitality #hospitals #facilitymanager #facility #correctionalfacility #prisons

The Legionella remediation methods of superheat & flush and hyperchlorination are often recommended by companies with insufficient expertise in Legionella. However, monochloramines offer a more effective, less disruptive solution for Legionella control. To understand why, examine the characteristics of each approach.
