Reports meeting Sanepid and sanitary inspectorate requirements
Water disinfection and control Legionella
Professional disinfection of hot and cold water systems. Elimination of Legionella pneumophila using thermal and chemical methods (ClO₂). Full sanitary documentation recognised by Sanepid and the sanitary inspectorate.
Sanepiddocumentation recognised by the sanitary inspectorate
The hazard
Legionella pneumophila when does it become a problem?
Legionella pneumophila is a bacterium that grows in hot and cold water systems at 25–45°C. Inhaled as an aerosol (from a shower, air conditioning or cooling towers) it can cause Legionnaires' disease — a severe pneumonia with a fatality rate of up to 15%.
Mandatory testing: hotels, hospitals, care homes, swimming pools and spa facilities — in line with the Ministry of Health regulation and sanitary inspectorate guidance.
A system not flushed for over 7 days
Hot water temperature below 55°C
Water stagnating in dead legs
Limescale in cylinders and pipework — the perfect environment
Properties with shared draw-off points
Cooling towers, air conditioning units, humidifiers
Methods
How do we eliminate Legionella?
Method 1
Thermal disinfection
Heating the entire hot water system to ≥75°C for at least 30 minutes. The most effective method — with immediate results.
Temperature ≥75°C at every point
Exposure time min. 30 minutes
Temperature checked on every riser
Report compliant with the PN-EN 15975 standard
Confirmatory test after disinfection
Method 2
ClO₂ disinfection
Chlorine dioxide dosed into the water system. It penetrates biofilm — eliminating bacteria in hard-to-reach sections of pipework.
Working concentration 0.2–0.5 mg/l
Destruction of biofilm inside pipework
No effect on the taste of the water after flushing
Inline doser or shock treatment
Continuous monitoring available
Monitoring
Regular monitoring
Regular laboratory testing and system inspections. Documentation for Sanepid, the sanitary inspectorate and the property's management.

Mandatory testing
Which properties are covered by the obligation?
Under the Regulation of the Minister of Health of 7 December 2017 (Journal of Laws item 2294) and sanitary inspectorate guidance, regular testing for Legionella spp. is required for:
Hotels and guesthouses
Hospitals and clinics
Care and nursing homes
Pools and spas
Workplaces with showers
Housing associations
Warsaw and Mazovia
Legionella removal in Warsaw and the surrounding area
We control Legionella in properties across Warsaw and the whole of Mazovia: hotels, hospitals, care homes, housing associations, swimming pools and workplaces. We work with our own team and provide full documentation recognised by Sanepid and the sanitary inspectorate. We reply the same working day, because with Legionella time matters.
Where we eliminate Legionella
Warsaw (all districts) and the surrounding area: Józefów, Otwock, Legionowo, Sulejówek, Marki, Ząbki, Wołomin, Pruszków and Piaseczno. We also cover the wider Mazovia region and the Łódź, Podlasie and Lublin provinces.
Before you order disinfection
Not sure whether you have a problem? Check symptoms of Legionella infection and the building owner's obligations. The only way to be certain is water testing in an accredited laboratory, which is where we start every job. Do you run a swimming pool, jacuzzi or spa area? Legionella is one of the mandatory parameters in pools that generate aerosol — see pool water testing.
