Legionella Water Testing
Legionella bacteria is commonly found in natural water sources such as rivers, ponds and lakes. It can also be found in man-made systems such as:
- Hot and cold water systems
- Spa pools
- Jacuzzis and hot tubs
- Showers
- Cooling towers
Legionnaire’s disease is a fatal type of pneumonia which can be caused by inhaling airborne water droplets containing viable Legionella bacteria. Likewise, anyone can develop Legionnaire’s disease but the elderly, smokers, those with cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory or kidney disease are at more risk. Above all, Legionella water testing can help.
