Legionella Testing & Monitoring
Get Legionella Compliant today!
Firstly, we are a water hygiene company that specialises in Legionella control. Secondly, our aim is to reduce the risk of Legionella within your hot and cold water services.
To do this we will be providing you with Legionella testing and monitoring plans that will be tailored to suit your premises. As we understand, every property and site is unique.
We will assist you in all aspects of compliance from:
- total service solutions
- supporting in-house staff via training sessions
- compliance audits
- provision of monitoring and recording logbooks
Furthermore, should any temperatures or sample results be non-compliant, we will support you throughout the process to return your site to a safe and compliant standard.
Legionella Monitoring Plans
To illustrate, the following monitoring plans are an important part of a Legionella control and prevention scheme. Our best advice is prevention is better than cure. Because of this you will be preventing the habitat in which Legionella bacteria can grow and proliferate. This will ensure the water system does not provide the conditions suitable for harbouring Legionella bacteria. Therefore, keeping your water system safe.
Monitoring of Hot and Cold Water
A key aspect of Legionella prevention is temperature control within your water system.
Our services include:-
- Checking your Hot water is stored at 60°C
- Checking your Hot water is distributed to reach 50°C (55°C healthcare) at an outlet within 1 minute
- Checking your Cold water is less than 20°C

Web-based electronic monitoring database
It is equally important to have a computerised database to show all your temperatures detailing passes and fails allowing you to take quick preventive action.
We will provide you with a system that will:-
- keep records of all your temperatures
- store your PDF legionella risk assessment
- store your microbiological test results
- store your water tank chlorination certificates
- store your risk assessment and method statements
- store your completion reports
- centralise all your documents for audits

Cold Water Storage Tank Inspections
Semi-annual inspections of cold water storage tanks will help you reduce the risk of Legionella.
Our services include:-
- checking both the inside and outside of the tank and water stored within it
- checking the tank for a tight fitted secure lid with air breather
- checking for insulation on the tank to avoid heat gain & loss
- checking for ingress screen
- checking your inlet and outlet connections are on the opposite to allow good cross flow
- checking the temperature of the tank is stored below 20°C
- checking the overall condition of the tank

Calorifier Inspections
Calorifiers can be a significant risk within a water system. It is vital to ensure they are working efficiently and effectively by maintaining the correct temperatures.
Our services will:-
- check the flow and return temperatures as outgoing should be a minimum of 60°C in order to kill legionella bacteria with a return of 50°C
- carry out calorifier blowdowns to reduce sediment build-up which can produce a suitable environment for bacteria and reduce efficiency
- check the pipework is insulated to prevent heat loss
- check the calorifier internals using a borescope and clean as required, followed by chlorination or a thermal pasteurisation

Shower head Disinfections
Yes, you can catch Legionnaires’ disease from a shower. Showers produce a fine aerosol, and the tiny droplets can carry the harmful Legionella bacteria into the lungs where it then proliferates.
Our services will:-
strip, descale, clean and flush your showerheads

Descaling and chlorination of all water outlets
It is very important to remove limescale buildup as this acts as a prefect breeding ground for Legionella.
Our services include:-
stripping, descaling, cleaning and flushing your taps, water boilers, point of use water heaters and any other water equipment you may have onsite.


Microbiological testing
Finally, to determine the extent of microbiological bacteria within your system is to test.
We will:-
- test your water for the presence of Legionella
- All samples are analysed at a UKAS accredited laboratory for independent analysis

Whatever your site needs, our fully trained consultants who specialise in the management and control of legionella will come to site and provide you with the practicable advice and solutions to suit you.
The frequency and extent of monitoring will depend on the findings.
By taking the above steps you will be safeguarding your business and reducing the risk of exposure to Bacteria such as Legionella.
