How to prevent legionella at home, in condominiums, hotels and hospitals?
One of the basic concepts to avoid the risk of legionella in private homes, condominiums,
accommodation facilities, hospitals, RSAs and swimming pools is to eliminate all potential for water stagnation. The following operations can be fundamental in this area:
- Maintenance of air conditioners and conditioners through flossing, descaling or installation of systems to contain legionella;
- Use all taps regularly;
- Replace worn gaskets;
- Descale the terminals by dismantling them and treating them with descaling liquid;
- For large structures, organize with specialized companies the emptying of boilers, descaling and installation of prevention systems.

Frequency of checks
To contain the spread of legionella, it is necessary to follow the prevention guidelines, which provide for periodic maintenance of water and air conditioning systems. The recommended frequency of checks is annual, although it is also a good idea to carry out checks in the event of system maintenance.
As regards the analysis of water intended for human consumption, it will be necessary to consult the specific legislation for each region.
