Secondary Disinfection
The Approved Code of Practice L8 states that exposure to Legionella should be prevented or controlled; precautions should include the use of water treatment techniques. Essentially if the risk cannot be eliminated then emphasis should be placed on controlling the risk.
Secondary disinfection of water systems has been identified as a method to improve the quality of water within facilities by minimising the proliferation of harmful pathogens. Promanex deliver a continuous disinfection service for domestic and other water systems as part of its managed response to the problem of Legionella. Ongoing testing and monitoring is essential to manage these dynamic systems and to evaluate and document preventative maintenance and corrective measures.
With increased liability concerns, many facilities are facing the need to develop effective prevention programmes for Legionella. A robust monitoring and control programme developed by Promanex will help and support a facility with the following:
• Reduce risk due to waterborne pathogens;
• Increase life of water distribution systems through reduced hyperchlorination procedures;
• Peace of mind through proof of Legionella control and use of an EPA-approved disinfectant;
• Yield operating returns to cover investment;
• Comply with regulatory guidance.
Promanex assists customers with their risk management plans by providing a turnkey solution. We go beyond just the chemical solution by evaluating your entire water distribution system with a mechanical, operational and chemical approach.
