Bacteria can survive, multiply, and spread in water systems.
Some waterborne bacteria can cause skin irritation, migraines, vomiting, diarrhoea, and even death.
Bacteria can be damaging to plant and equipment, as well as people
Excessive biofilm formation (slime formation) can result in system blockage, and some bacteria can produce strong mineral acids — these can lead to rapid localised corrosion or pitting of a system's metallic components.
Bacterial control is necessary for regulatory and legal compliance.
You're legally required to ensure your drinking water supply is safe, according to:
- Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
- Management of the Health and Safety at Work Regulations
Effective bacterial control also helps you to meet best practice, defined by The Health and Safety Executive's Approved Code of Practice L8 - Legionnaires' disease
