Pain Points Associated With Legionella Management

Legionella management is critical in maintaining the highest quality control standards, achieving system efficiency and creating a safe environment. Industries that undertake this process on their own may experience challenges such as:

  • Performing routine Legionella testing and control, which can take operators’ time from other tasks.
  • Staying current with the changing regulations. 
  • Setting aside time and resources to train employees according to regulatory requirements.
  • Identifying a reliable third-party lab for analyzing sample tests or investing in costly lab equipment for in-house testing.

Sampling and Testing Services

Here’s how we test Legionella in water:

  • Sampling: Our service managers collect samples from cooling towers and other systems for analysis. We adhere to ASSE 12080 guidelines to ensure compliant sampling.
  • Testing Legionella: We take the samples to a lab to check for the bacteria. Our testing solutions comply with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) program.
  • Interpreting results: Our experts examine the bacteria’s CFU/ML concentration to determine if it is above the accepted levels.

Remediating Solutions

When we detect Legionella growth above the accepted levels, we implement hypochlorination. Chlorine is an effective method of killing bacteria and other waterborne pathogens. We also employ other treatment methods like:

  • Superheating the system: Extreme heat denatures vital enzymes and proteins in the bacteria’s cells, disrupting metabolism and other processes essential for life.
  • Flushing the system: This technique eliminates contaminated water and replaces the system with fresh, disinfected water.

We don’t sell chemicals, we sell clean systems.

Water Management Plan Process

accordion-bg-icon

Creating a team of your own to implement and validate the plan is the first step in the WMP process.

A Chardon representative will walk through your water system and establish areas of potential risk for Legionella. This site assessment will help create control measures and best practices to be followed for the WMP.

Following the site assessment, Chardon will help determine where control locations are on your site, and then alongside your team, will determine the testing protocols to be followed. Testing will be done by a Chardon technician and then sent to a state-of-the-art lab for further analysis. Testing frequencies and requirements vary greatly depending on the risks associated with your business operation.

The final step in implementing a WMP is the ongoing process of correction and adjusting. Along with changes to your building staff, water systems, etc., testing and other control measures should be regularly monitored and updated to best protect your building from Legionella. The updating of the plan is a simple process through an online database/portal, which is used to access and update the information of the WMP.
