Testing for Legionella with the ETI 860-860 Legionella Testing Kit
By law, as defined in the revised Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) issued by the Government's Health and Safety Executive (HSE), it is the responsibility of all employers, who manage premises with hot/cold water systems and/or a wet cooling systems, to prevent Legionella contamination and to prevent or control its spread.
This kit from ETI is excellent for helping to prevent the spread of this type of bacteria. Generally, Legionella bacteria start to multiply in water at temperatures between 20 to 45°C (with the spread increased by the presence of nutrients such as rust, algae, sludge and scale). To control this, water should typically be kept cold below 20°C while hot water should be stored above 60°C and distributed at 50°C.
You can use this kit to test the water in storage as well as test the surface of pipes and tanks in the water system.
The probes can be used as follows:
- Insert the immersion probe into the water to a minimum depth of 25mm to test the overall temperature
- Use the ribbon surface probe to take the surface temperature of pipes and tanks
- Use the wire probe to reach spots where other probes simply won't fit
