When Is Water Hygiene Needed?

Water hygiene is crucial whenever you suspect contamination or notice any water quality changes. This can include unusual odours, discolouration, or unexpected variations in water pressure.

It is especially needed in facilities with vulnerable populations, such as hospitals, schools, and care homes, where Legionella and other harmful bacteria pose significant health risks. Leisure centres and large commercial buildings with cooling towers also require regular checks to comply with industry standards such as the Health and Safety Executive’s L8 guidelines.

Furthermore, properties using complex water systems, including those with storage tanks or booster pumps, are more susceptible to bacterial growth due to factors like stagnation and temperature fluctuations. We recommend routine monitoring of water temperatures and microbial testing to ensure safety.
