The control of legionella is of growing concern in hospitals and in particular within the water supply system.
One area of concern centres around the tap aerators where various studies have shown that aerators may be contaminated by gram-negative bacteria.
To help address this issue, we have launched our Clinic Line aerator system developed in conjunction with Neoperl of Switzerland which combats the build up of bacteria on three fronts:
- The aerators produce laminar flows – a controlled non splash flow without the introduction of air
- The set contains 4 colour coded aerators which should be changed regularly (we recommend every 3 months) to eliminate built up biofilm.
- As they are colour coded it ensures that multiple taps can be changed at the same time – all taps should have the same colour so any with a different colour can be easily identified!
