Legionnaires' Disease on the Rise:
How Integra Water Can Help You Stay Safe
Legionnaires' disease is a serious type of pneumonia caused by legionella bacteria. This bacteria thrives in warm, stagnant water, and cooling towers are a prime breeding ground. Victoria's chief health officer has recently warned of a potential rise in Legionnaires' disease outbreaks, so it's more important than ever to take steps to prevent it.
That's where Integra Water comes in. Integra Water is a leading provider of water treatment solutions, and we have a proven track record of helping businesses prevent legionella outbreaks. Our remote monitoring systems can help you keep a close eye on the water quality in your cooling towers and take steps to address any problems before they arise.
The Dangers of Legionella Bacteria
Legionella bacteria is a naturally occurring bacterium that can cause Legionnaires' disease. The bacteria grows in warm, stagnant water, and cooling towers are a prime breeding ground. People can become infected with Legionnaires' disease by inhaling aerosolized water droplets containing the bacteria.
Symptoms of Legionnaires' disease can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and headaches. In severe cases, Legionnaires' disease can be fatal.
Online Monitoring Systems:
Thankfully, remote telemetry equipment for your cooling tower can be your silent guardian, protecting your facility and the public from this potentially fatal illness.Older dosing systems often rely on manual monitoring and adjustments, leaving room for human error and inconsistencies in chemical levels. This creates an environment ripe for legionella bacteria to thrive.
Remote telemetry and cooling towers
Telemetry is a technology that allows lntegra to monitor and control your cooling tower system remotely. This means that you can access real-time data of your system's performance and amend its settings from anywhere in the world.
