If a property has been unoccupied for a week or more it's important that all the water outlets in the system are flushed. This is for sure where and also how legionella flushing systems come into use and where and how they are needed. This has for sure become more and more of a need on the wake of COVID-19 with lockdowns both coming and going too. Stagnant water is a breeding ground for Legionella bacteria. Flushing the hot or cold water system will help ensure that the water is kept flowing, up to temperature and doesn't stagnate.

Consultants and water treatment professionals with experience disinfecting Legionella-contaminated plumbing systems should be able to spot the risk as well as the presence of legionella from a mile off. They should be able to tackle the danger of it too so your property as well as your plumbing is safer once again. Legionella can multiply in hot and cold water systems. Removing or flushing infrequently used taps can significantly reduce the risk of legionella in no end of ways and as a service, legionella management is for sure one that can be sure to benefit everyone concerned.

Regular flushing of water outlets is therefore an important part of managing the legionella bacteria within a water system and helping to keep it at safe level with a lot less risk exposed. All water systems need to be monitored, but the main risks are systems or equipment which may involve a risk of aerosol i.e. where there are showers, hose pipes as well as other key and major water sources. Under health and safety law you have a duty to consider the risks from legionella that may affect your staff or members of the public and take suitable action to make everything safer for all concerned.

Any illness that affects the respiratory system, if combined with COVID-19, will likely have a high mortality rate and Legionnaires disease is just one of the very many that this very much also applies to as well. Businesses have been told to flush out the water supply in their buildings in the instance they may need to shut down. Looking at COVID-19 in even more detail, there has for sure been an increased need for this to all be taken care of in the wake of what the world has seen in the last 12 months.
