Legionella Monitoring & Inspection

Empower your water system control with Legionella Monitoring & Inspection from Lucion. We guide you to compliance, ensuring safe water systems for a worry-free environment.

Legionella monitoring and inspection is a vital for you to gain and stay in control of the water systems you are responsible for as a Duty Holder.

Our team of Legionella Consultants guide you to full compliance, some of these monitoring and inspection tasks are:

Temperature Monitoring (Sentinels Outlets, Representative Outlets, Calorifier Flow and Returns)
Shower / Spray Outlet Descaling
Expansion Vessel Flushing
Cold Water Storage Tank Inspections
Calorifier Inspections
Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) Servicing

Legionella Monitoring and Inspection tasks are determined from the Legionella Risk Assessment. A legal requirement, a Legionella Risk Assessment carried out by one of our experienced risk assessors is the backbone behind determining what, when and where specific monitoring and inspection tasks should be carried out!

All data collected during monitoring and inspection are securely stored on NexGen, our cloud-based compliance system. Going beyond ACOP L8 and HSG 274 recommendations, NexGen retains records indefinitely, offering clients easy access to reports and task reviews.

Legionella Monitoring FAQs

We use our proprietary software NexGen, a cloud-based compliance system. All monitoring data is securely stored, providing clients access to reports and task reviews. NexGen goes beyond recommended record-keeping, retaining data indefinitely.

Temperature Monitoring

Outcome: Strategic monitoring of outlets, flow and returns ensures compliance and early identification of potential Legionella risks.

Shower/Spray Outlet Descaling

Outcome: Preventive measures to control Legionella growth, maintaining water system hygiene and safeguarding against potential contamination.

Expansion Vessel Flushing

Outcome: Proactive flushing to prevent stagnation, reducing the risk of Legionella growth in expansion vessels.

Cold Water Storage Tank Inspections

Outcome: Thorough inspections guarantee compliance, identifying and rectifying potential issues that may compromise water safety.

Calorifier Inspections

Outcome: Comprehensive inspections ensure the functionality of calorifiers, addressing any issues that may pose a risk to water quality.

Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) Servicing

Outcome: Regular servicing ensures the correct functioning of TMVs, a critical component in preventing scalding and maintaining water quality.

Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 causes severe infections, while Legionella infections can be unnoticed due to flu-like symptoms. Legionella often goes undiagnosed as symptoms mimic common respiratory illnesses.

Legionella spreads through inhaling contaminated water droplets. Factors like temperature (20°C-45°C) and poorly maintained water systems, especially with recirculation, can contribute to bacterial growth.

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. It thrives in warm, stagnant water and can be transmitted through inhaled water droplets. Legionella poses a significant health risk, especially to individuals with weakened immune systems, respiratory issues, and the elderly.

You can get Legionnaires’ disease from air conditioning systems, humidifiers, spa pools and hot tubs, and taps and showers that are not used often and it is usually caught in places like hotels, hospitals of offices. The chances of risk of exposure to legionella are lower at home.
