Although Legionnaires' disease isn’t common, it can be serious.

The disease is a severe form of pneumonia. Most people become infected when they inhale microscopic water droplets containing legionella bacteria from environments such as showers, swimming pools and hot tubs.

And while the human cost can be significant, the business interruption cost shouldn’t be underestimated either. The good news is that both can be mitigated with regular testing as a part of a wider water management plan.

“Whether we’re working with a cruise ship line, local leisure centre, spa or hotel, we understand the importance of accurate and reliable legionella testing,” said John Stead, Envirochem’s business development manager.

“Envirochem is all about better health outcomes for our customers’ staff and guests. Legionella testing is a key part of how we help them better safeguard their employees and customers. Regardless of your sector, if water is involved, reliable legionella testing is essential.”
