Legionella is a type of bacteria commonly found in natural and artificial water sources such as cooling towers, hot water systems, and spas. When these bacteria are inhaled in vapours or steam, they can pose serious health risks to humans, causing Legionnaires’ disease, a deadly form of pneumonia. 

 

Establishing a Legionella control regime is crucial in mitigating the risks associated with Legionella.  

 

The regime involves identifying potential sources of contamination, implementing effective measures to manage the risks, and regularly monitoring the efficacy of the control measures. By implementing a Legionella control regime, you are not only protecting your employees, customers, or residents, but also yourself. 

 

A typical control regime on domestic water system might include: 

 

• Flushing little used outlets 

• Water temperature testing 

• Shower / outlet de-scaling 

• Cold Water Storage Tank Inspection 

• Calorifier internal inspection 

• TMV Surviving 

• In addition, sampling and routine disinfection could form part of this

With a reliable Legionella control regime in place, you can ensure that your water systems are safe, compliant, and efficient. You can have peace of mind knowing that you are in compliance with applicable regulations and guidance, and that your water systems are under control. So, don’t wait until it’s too late.
