With new legislation and attitudes to Legionella, with on-going outbreaks, you need a water treatment company that can help you minimize your risk of outbreak; not just in your cooling towers, but in all potentially at risk water systems within your building envelope.
Jutzi Water has the expertise and equipment to assist you in developing your Legionella Risk Management Plan, based on the latest ASHRAE 188P standard.
Legionella RISK Management
Legionellosis is the term used for infections caused by the inhalation of airborne droplets containing the Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Legionnaires’ disease is a severe, pneumonia-like form of Legionellosis that can cause serious and sometimes deadly, complications.
With heightened concern over Legionella and the potential for Legionnaires’ disease, facility owners are turning to Jutzi Water for solutions that manage Legionella bacteria risk in cooling towers, and other water systems.
Achievement of this important goal is relatively simple, but requires good processes, good programs, consistent application and documentation. No program can promise sterile conditions in a system at all times.
However, when properly applied and maintained, Legionella risk management programs limits risk effectively, addresses factors influencing growth and transmission and reduces the likelihood of exposure
The Association of Water Technologies (AWT) has endorsed the new ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2015 (Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems).
For specific recommendations refer to ASHRAE 188-2015.
