Legionella Control Solution
Sidon Waterās Integroā¢ Technology effectively reduces Legionella by removingĀ limescale build-up and biofilm throughout hot, cold and processed water systems.
The Problem
Limescale, and the resulting Biofilm, is the perfect breeding ground for Legionella and other bacteria
What is Limescale?
Limescale, primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), accumulates within hot water systems, pipes, and appliances. This build-up can damage plumbing and heating components, reducing efficiency and increasing equipment operating costs.
What is Biofilm?
A biofilm is a community of living microorganisms, including bacteria, that adhere to a surface in a moist environment and reproduce. They establish this attachment by secreting a sticky, glue-like substance.
What is Legionella?
Legionella is a bacterium that can lead to Legionnairesā disease, a severe and potentially fatal form of pneumonia. People contract Legionnairesā disease by inhaling small droplets of water (aerosols), suspended in the air, that contain legionella bacteria.
What is the Relationship between Limescale, Biofilm and Legionella?
Where limescale has formed, as a result of the minerals in hard water precipitating out and bonding to surfaces, the perfect breeding ground for bacteria exists.
Factors Encouraging Legionella Growth:
ā¢ Legionella bacteria thrive in temperatures between 20-45Ā°C.
ā¢ Stagnant water within this temperature range allows Legionella to multiply.
ā¢ Limescale, rich in minerals, becomes a food source for Legionella.
With the bacteria present and multiplying they will form biofilm. With Limescale and Biofilm now established, in an environment in which it is comfortable and well-fed, Legionella and other bacteria will multiply and thrive.
Prevention is Better than Cure
To maintain a Legionella-free water system, it must be free from limescale (including biofilm) and bacteria. Whether it’s a cold, hot, or process system, controlling scale build-up is essential.
Chemical dosing, although effective, is costly, time-consuming, and harmful to the environment. Moreover, as limescale accumulates, the problem worsens.
The Integroā¢ Advantage for Legionella Prevention
The Integroā¢, a unique water restructuring technology manufactured by Sidon Water, can certainly help as a secondary control solution that works continuously.
Installed on your water supply, it will ensure the removal of existing limescale throughout your water system. It will also offer complete ongoing prevention and significantly reduce rust and corrosion.
This is achieved by the Integroā¢ injecting electrons directly into the water. The electrons disrupt the bonding that would otherwise form between the scale forming minerals. Thanks to this effective system, you can finally mitigate the risks associated with Legionella.
The Integroā¢ technology is maintenance and chemical free. This means that it is a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution.
