hospital legionellaIt is well known that domestic hot water systems are among one of the most dangerous environments when dealing with Legionella bacteria and associates Legionnaires’ disease.

The Bad news… a record number of recorded Legionella cases in 2003 where associated to healthcare facilities, hotels and even office buildings.

The Good news… AquaLyse® copper-silver ion generators have proven to drastically reduce the risk of nosocomial Legionella in these types of facilities.

nosocomial legionellaSince the discovery of Legionella in 1976, many theories and studies have been conducted in order to determine the best course of action when dealing with Legionella control and prevention in a properly designed water treatment program.

Many of these studies have demonstrated that metallic copper and silver ionisation (the introduction of positively charged copper and silver ions into a domestic hot water system) is an effective and preventative method in order to control and kill Legionella pneumophila. (The positive ions are attracted to the negatively charged microorganisms and disrupt cellular respiration…death soon follows)

Where other technologies have shown serious disadvantages and failures, AquaLyse® Cu-Ag Ion Generators have shown measurable results, ease of usage, low maintenance, safety and affordability. AquaLyse® will treat all of your domestic water system…even low-flow distal points and dead leg areas.

With a AquaLyse® Ion generator, domestic hot water systems can easily be managed and maintained without any major intervention on behalf on the building engineer. Once our system installed, all you have to do is relax and let it do it’s own work.

One major question is usually asked when we present our technology: “Why do I need this technology if we follow current set guidelines on domestic hot water Legionella control?” The answer is quite simple. “It is difficult to guarantee proper temperature in all of a domestic hot water system in order to control Legionella…including distal low-flow points” You will have hot spots, you will have cold spots and the results can lead to a Legionella outbreak when you least expect it.

Some also believe that chlorine treated water will control against Legionella. This is simply a short-term solution to a long-standing problem. If your building is over 7 years old, you most likely have the presence of Biofilm in your water system (Gunk or Sludge). Legionella colonisation is found within the Biofilm where it hides from chlorine and other water treatment techniques like thermal eradication. The good news is that where others have failed, AquaLyse® Copper Silver Ion Generator have proven to be successful. Successful in the control and treatment of nosocomial related Legionella in domestic hot water systems found in: healthcare facilities, hotels, office buildings and more.

In the end, we deliver reliable technology that will give you peace of mind in the quality of domestic hot water delivered when dealing against Legionella and other forms of waterborne microorganisms. We guarantee it or your money back!
