Legionella Overview
The development of a well-built water management plan requires that you fully understand your facility's three points of risk. The mitigation of Legionella is not just about where bacteria may exist in your water system, but why.
Digital Technology: The Next Generation of Water Mixing
One of the most effective ways to inhibit Legionella growth in domestic hot water is by elevating the water to high temperatures. Focusing on requirements for commercial and institutional facilities, “Digital Technology – the Next Generation of Water Mixing” shows how smart technology, with its precise temperature control, gives facility managers increased flexibility in combatting the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease.
Guarding Against Legionella: Every Stakeholder Needs a Voice
While following approved procedures and protocols aimed at lessening the risk of Legionella and other waterborne diseases, it's essential to consider what the patient experience would be in the event of an outbreak. Read why all stakeholders have something to contribute to the discussions organizations have about mitigating Legionella risk, including families and patients.
Reducing Scale in a Premise Plumbing System Can Inhibit Legionella Growth
This white paper describes the role scale deposits play in trapping biofilms, which create an environment that promotes Legionella growth. It also explains how Watts OneFlow® scale prevention solutions, based on template assisted crystallization (TAC), can effectively reduce the formation of lime scale.
Mitigating Increased Risk of Legionella in Unoccupied Buildings
They say the plumber protects the health of the nation, which is especially relevant when commercial buildings sit vacant or under-occupied. Learn about actions to take in order to help reduce the risk of waterborne pathogens before occupants return to a vacant building.
Mitigating Legionella with Piping
Smart plumbing design plays a fundamental role in mitigating harmful bacteria and viruses, but what about selecting the most suitable pipe for the application? "Mitigating Legionella with Piping" addresses several piping attributes and conditions to consider in order to mitigate the growth of Legionella and the spread of disease in healthcare applications.
