Regular testing for Legionella bacteria in pool water is crucial. We can provide weekly or monthly sampling and laboratory analysis to check for contamination. This enables early detection so prompt disinfection can be performed if necessary. We also test disinfectant residuals, pH, temperature and other water quality parameters. This ensures your pool water stays balanced and sanitary. Careful monitoring is key to stopping Legionella before it spreads.

Sufficient disinfectant like chlorine or bromine prevents Legionella growth in pools. Levels must be kept within recommended ranges for optimum efficacy. We check disinfectant residuals and can advise on adjusting your pool’s treatment systems as needed. We also provide periodic shock dosing with chlorine or bromine to provide extra disinfection and kill any Legionella present.

Stagnation encourages Legionella colonies in pool plumbing. Regular flushing removes sediment and keeps water moving. Pipe cleaning removes biofilms that allow Legionella growth in jets and pipes. We can incorporate pipe maintenance into your water safety plan. We can also suggest pool plumbing improvements to eliminate dead legs and reroute pipes to reduce areas prone to stagnation.

A water safety plan is only effective if properly implemented. We train your pool staff on how to check and adjust disinfectant levels, monitor water quality parameters, perform routine maintenance and system flushing, recognise hazards or issues, and respond to emergencies like positive Legionella tests. With the right training, your team can continue Legionella prevention measures between our visits.
