Legionella Remediation

LiquiTech’s remediation services can help you gain control of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens in as little as 48 hours and achieve long-term prevention. Our full-service outbreak response includes on-site remediation, case investigation support, and health department advocacy.

  • Rapid results: Control Legionella in as little as 48 hours.

  • Single treatment: No need for multiple shock treatments, minimizing costs and disruptions to building operations.

  • Safe and non-corrosive technologies: No water restrictions or corrosion to plumbing infrastructure.

  • Flexible solutions: Choose between short-term or permanent copper-silver ionization options.

  • Long-term prevention: Copper-silver ionization is temperature-stable and penetrates biofilm, providing residual protection.

Our solution

Although every remediation is different, our typical process and timeline are outlined below. This may vary depending on facility size, water system complexity, and the extent of the Legionella contamination.

Day 1: Immediate control

Immediately after contacting us, we provide you with LiquiTech® Point-of-Use Filters that can easily be installed on faucets, showerheads, and ice machines. This temporary and effective measure ensures water is safe for building occupants while our team mobilizes and develops and implements your custom remediation plan.

Days 2-7: On-site remediation

LiquiTech's team of ASSE 12080 Certified Legionella Specialists manage and monitor remediation efforts on-site, including commissioning treatment technologies, deploying corrective actions, conducting water sampling and testing, and implementing Department of Health requirements (if applicable).

Days 8-30+: Ongoing support

Once the remediation is complete, LiquiTech’s engineering and water safety experts can continue to provide on-site and remote support to maintain Legionella control. This ongoing support is essential to helping you meet the Department of Health criteria to end their oversight and return to normal operations.

Case study

Copper-silver ionization helps hospital reach non-detect after 14-year struggle with chlorine dioxide

A hospital experienced Legionella positivity despite continous use of chlorine dioxide. Two months after installing copper-silver ionization, their Legionella positivity dropped from 100% to 11%. The next round of testing showed 0%.
