While Legionnaires’ disease is uncommon in younger people and very rarely affects those under the age of 20 (research shows the elderly, those with underlying health conditions, and those who are heavy drinkers are more susceptible to the disease), it’s still mandatory for schools to manage their water systems safely and reliably.
Fixtures such as drinking fountains, showers, and spa baths are all commonly found in schools and all give rise to biofilm breeding grounds and the growth of Legionella in such areas must be prevented. What’s more, most school water systems are dated and archaic, a factor that poses an additional risk and increases the likelihood of bacterial growth.
With our DCW systems, biofilm in school water pipes can be removed within a few weeks and without any disruption to studies. In addition to that, it is a proven fact that existing biofilm is not only removed, but that continuous application of our NEUTHOX® disinfecting solution prevents biofilm from ever emerging.
