Management of Legionella

Management of Legionella

The core aim of the chlorination and sterilisation of water systems is to minimise the risk of bacterial growth and is essential practice in the running of a commercial water system. The primary target of bacterial control is Legionella and our sterilisation services follow HSG274 Pt2 which offers guidelines in the management and risk control of Legionella bacteria. The Legionella bacteria is most commonly associated with being the cause of Legionnaires disease with several high-profile instances making headline news in recent years. Legionnaires' disease shares many symptoms with pneumonia and is most commonly spread through water and air conditioning systems. Legionella bacteria is also the primary cause of other conditions including Pontiac fever.

Maintain System Efficiency

Maintain System Efficiency

Chlorination systems for new water systems should be carried out as part of the commissioning process before any new system is turned on or set-to-work. Water in an, otherwise efficient, water system can quickly become contaminated by a range of bacteria if cold water storage tanks are poorly, or irregularly, maintained. A build-up of contaminants in the system can aid the spread of bacteria including Legionella and e-coli. We recommend that regular testing and maintenance is carried out on cold water systems to help prevent contamination

In addition to carrying out chlorination and sterilisation services for water systems, Comfort Services Group can provide pre-installation risk assessments for legionella. Contact Comfort Services Group today and find out how our trained engineers can help with the chlorination and sterilisation of your new or established water system.
