Legionella Sampling & Testing: Hotel & Hospitality Facilities
Hotel and hospitality facilities have a responsibility to their patrons with respect to maintaining a clean water system free from the legionella bacterium. In recent years, several outbreaks, and costly liability litigations, have been associated with hotel properties and illness caused by legionella. Professional sampling and testing can help to identify the possible sources of a potential legionella infection and assist with the overall management of your water systems.
In a hotel facility, showers are a high risk area, particularly if they are not regularly cleaned, flushed and kept free of scale. Jacuzzi tubs and spa baths are also very high risk areas for patrons as their high temperature waters make for an ideal breeding ground for legionella. Inhalation of the bacteria into the lungs via aerosol mists from showers and spa’s are the primary means of outbreaks and those with weakened immune systems, respiratory health problems, and the elderly are most at risk.
