Water Division:

Water treatment, hygiene & Legionella Control

Water is an essential component to all industries and businesses, large or small. If you use water or have any type of water system in your premises, you have a legal responsibility to ensure it does not create any health or safety risks. Additionally, with the correct water treatment both utility and process costs can be reduced.

The UK regulations governing this area are the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974,Water Supply Regulations 1999, Legionnaires’ Disease: the control of legionella bacteria in water systems (HSC ACoP L8 2001) and COSHH 2002. The principal driver for compliance on a legal front is the need to prevent the legionella organism from developing in water systems.

When considering a water treatment and water hygiene programme for your site you need access to a network of professionals who can meet the requirements of the legislation and keep your business operating safely and efficiently. Our businesses are founder members of the Legionella Control Association (LCA) which independently audit our processes to ensure that we comply with the code of practice and are able to give expert technical advice and guidance.

Products and services for both traditional and new systems are offered, with the use of unique superior solid technology water treatments actively promoted. These products significantly reduce handling and safety concerns and provide a more environmentally friendly way to treat your water systems.
