Multi-Barrier Approach: Setting a New Standard for Water Safety
Healthcare facilities today face increasing water safety risks. Aging infrastructure, frequent water main breaks, and elevated sediment levels are straining plumbing systems and creating ideal conditions for waterborne pathogens to thrive. Municipal treatment processes, while essential, often don’t address these downstream challenges once water enters a facility. The result is a growing concern for occupant safety, equipment reliability, and compliance. One healthcare facility confronted these realities head-on after dealing with Legionella positivity in its cold-water system, as well as recurring detection of Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Stenotrophomonas. Beyond microbial risks, high sediment loads from the municipal water supply were causing significant damage to plumbing infrastructure, increasing maintenance costs, and accelerating corrosion. Traditional remediation approaches were unable to deliver sustainable results. The Challenge The facility needed a comprehensive strategy that could both eliminate pathogens and reduce the environmental conditions that allowed them to flourish. The solution: A multi-barrier approach To address these challenges, LiquiTech implemented a multi-barrier water treatment solution designed to deliver layered protection: Together, these technologies worked in synergy to address the root causes of water quality problems and provide sustained protection. The results By addressing microbial challenges, sediment-related damage, and infrastructure reliability together, the facility established a new standard of care for water safety. The solution not only safeguarded patients and staff but also delivered measurable operational and financial benefits.
