Common Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our services and water quality management.
What is the Legionella Indication Test (LIT)?
The Legionella Indication Test (LIT) is an assessment of the environment and the risk for waterborne pathogen persistence in a water system. It includes recommended actions to address underlying causes of this risk, which can inform existing or developing Water Management Plans.
Why is biofilm important in Legionella management?
Biofilm can harbor a multitude of microorganisms, including Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. Mitigating and removing biofilm reduces the likelihood of Legionella persisting within a water system.
How does the CDC ELITE Plate Method work?
This method follows ISO 11731. It provides a snapshot of viable Legionella species within a water system, with results reported as CFU/mL.
What are Water System Action Plans?
Our Action Plans supplement existing Water Management Plans, focusing on preventing Legionella presence through preventative measures.
What is water hygiene?
Water hygiene is water quality within a water system and the activities that help maintain that quality. All water systems require regular upkeep and maintenance, just like human hygiene.
