Legionella is a causative agent of Legionnaire’s disease that can potentially cause a fatal form of pneumonia. There are guidelines across the world for the control of Legionella and they detail the key parameters that should be tested to minimise the risk of harmful levels of Legionella in the open water system. Within a water system Legionella usually grow within biofilm found on the insides of pipe work, shower heads, cooling tower packing, or water tanks.

A clean water sample does not equate to a clean system which is why this kit can be used to pinpoint the contamination in a system or to demonstrate cleanliness of an area after a targeted cleaning. This kit can be used to fund legionella in their breeding ground. It is a selective test that can detect legionella in samples with a very high flora background.

Key Features:

  • Fast, easy and accurate
  • Results in as little as 30 minutes!
  • Confirms performance of Legionella prevention and treatment protocols
  • Test Kits available for detecting both waterborne and biofilm Legionella
  • Limit detection of 200 CFU/I/Swabbed Areas

Where can it be used?

This product is designed to test for Legionella in risk areas such as hot and cold-water systems, cooling towers, decorative fountains, hot tubs and pools, sinks and showers, and misters, sprinklers, air washers, humidifiers and more.
