Hotels

Since 2008, Legionnaires’ disease has been traced to hotels in New York, Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, Killington, VT, Heflin, AL, Socorro, NM, Ottumwa, IA, McHenry, IL, and many others. In a number of these instances, hotel management was not even aware of this threat.

Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal and pneumonia-like disease that is caused by a bacterium called Legionella that is consistently found in water supplies in all parts of the habitable world.

Hotels all over the country have had guests who have contracted the disease, attracting the attention of health officials and media.

For 20 years, our company has supplied the only industrial equipment designed specifically for controlling Legionella. Our client base has traditionally been in the healthcare field. However, over the last few years, more and more hotels have been seeking our help as the hospitality industry becomes more aware of the threat.

In the event of a sudden Legionella issue, we offer quick reaction and affordable short-term leasing arrangements so that your facility can return to normal operation as soon as possible. We can deliver our equipment to anywhere in North America within 24 hrs and the system can be installed without having to restrict usage of your facility’s water.

Traditional short-term methods of Legionella remediation include super-heating the water and employing shock chlorination. Both methods are costly, labor-intensive, damaging to plumbing systems, and require restricted water usage to implement.

A proactive approach to Legionella disinfection will limit the possibility of exposure to the Legionella bacteria and minimize the regulatory or litigation issues that are often associated with the disease.

We are always glad to help a facility in crisis, but we recommend taking a proactive approach when it comes to protecting your facility’s water.
