Legionella Testing

Regular monitoring of water cooling systems, air conditioning systems, hot water systems, fountains, swimming pools and spas by sample collection and laboratory analysis.

Legionella is the waterborne bacteria responsible for the deadly Legionnaire’s Disease. Industries that use water in production processes or in the workplace can harbor the bacteria, which thrives in warm water.

  • Industrial companies (cooling towers and air-conditioning)
  • Shipping
