Legionella drinking water analysis

Legionella drinking water analysis

The quality of our drinking water is strictly controlled by the Drinking Water Ordinance. However, this control does not include the private drinking water system, as it stops at the house connection. Hazards that occur within the domestic drinking water system are therefore often not noticed.

What is legionella?

Legionella are bacteria that thrive in warm water and can cause lung infections, known as legionellosis or Legionnaires' disease. They were named after an outbreak in Philadelphia in 1976. Legionella is mainly transmitted by inhalation of infected water droplets and is found in building water systems and air conditioning systems.
A low concentration of legionella is harmless, but too high a concentration can be extremely dangerous. The limit value is the "technical action value", which is 100 CFU* legionella / 100 ml drinking water.
