Some A/C Systems

Surfaces that contain a bio-film within the
cooling tower can harbor Legionella

Indoor/Outdoor Pools

Lack of proper maintenance and periodic chemical
disinfecting may cause Legionella to
proliferate within the system.

Kitchen and Bathroom Spigots

Legionella can propogate in the stagnant water of
spigot lines when not periodically flushed

Saunas

You guessed it! The warmest, wettest place
also can contain a large amount of Legionella.

Bathroom Showers

Legionella can propagate in the stagnant water
of shower head lines when not periodically used

Kneecaps can accumulate a bio-film that may breed Legionella

Plumbing Systems

Pipe Burst

A pipe burst may cause a sudden disruption in the plumbing systems
pressure causing stagnant areas that harbor Legionella to backwash
into the system

Cruise Ships provide periodic quality control to
check their potable and non-potable water
systems for Legionella to ensure the safety
of their passengers.

Quality Control

CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Equipment uses heated water that requires
vigilance in keeping clean. Certain hospital
equipment such as hydrotherapy equipment,
bronchoscopes, heater-cooler units that use
water are known to harbor Legionella bacteria
if not properly maintained.
