Hospitals and care facilities

In healthcare facilities, water quality is directly linked to patient safety, infection control and regulatory compliance. Hospitals, nursing homes and care facilities require tightly controlled systems for drinking water, domestic hot water and building services circuits.

Water and infection control

Healthcare facilities must maintain very high hygiene standards to prevent healthcare-associated infections. The water system is part of this strategy: the network must be disinfected and bacterial growth, including Legionella, prevented in hot water and distribution circuits.

Hospitals and care facilities

Extensive networks, vulnerable users

Hospital networks are extensive and complex, with little-used branches and high-risk areas such as intensive care units and operating theatres: the disinfectant must be present consistently throughout the network, with minimal variation.

Parameters

The parameters to monitor

1

Disinfectant

Chlorine or chlorine dioxide measured continuously and dosed according to the reading.

2

pH

It affects the effectiveness of chlorine.

3

Temperature

Hot water circuits between 25 and 55 °C are the most exposed to Legionella growth.

4

Residual in the network

The disinfectant must also reach the most distant points of the distribution system.

Compliance

Regulations and documentation

Healthcare facilities are among the priority buildings for the Legionella risk assessment and management required by Italian legislation on water intended for human consumption.

Traceability

Recorded readings document the treatment and its results.

Limits

Dosing controlled by the reading keeps the disinfectant within the permitted limits.

Management plan

Continuous treatment is one of the control measures of the Legionella risk management plan.
