In 2016 while preparing to open a new patient tower, a California hospital found bacteria levels exceeding state and federal EPA limits in the building water system. To address this issue, they deployed multiple rounds of hyperchlorination, which is the process of adding an excessive amount of chlorine to the building water system in an attempt to kill bacteria.
After three unsuccessful rounds of hyperchlorination, the hospital sought the expertise of LiquiTech.
LiquiTech worked with the hospital to implement a solution that included the installation of a LiquiTech® Copper-Silver Ionization System and a LiquiTech® Sediment Filtration System, hot water system improvements, and ongoing LiquiTech services, including proactive maintenance, monitoring, and water quality testing.
After two months, the hospital’s water system test results showed bacteria levels within state and federal EPA limits, allowing the new patient tower to open.
By implementing these solutions, the hospital is able to provide a safe and healthy environment for their patients, staff, and visitors.
