CMS regulations require healthcare facilities to maintain water management programs. ASHRAE 188 provides the standard framework, and Joint Commission inspections specifically target water safety compliance. State and local regulations may have additional requirements. Our water management program services help facilities meet all applicable standards with complete documentation.

Results vary by facility and treatment method. Our Georgia health system case study achieved non-detect status within 2 months after 14 years of chlorine failure. Copper-silver ionization typically shows measurable Legionella reduction within the first testing cycle, with sustained non-detect results achievable within 2-6 months when properly implemented.

Copper-silver ionization provides sustained residual protection without corroding pipes or equipment. Unlike oxidant-based chemicals, which require constant monitoring and cause infrastructure damage, copper-silver ions remain active throughout your distribution system for 24/7 protection. Our case studies show facilities achieving non-detect status after years of chlorine failure.

Point-of-use filters provide an additional layer of protection for high-risk areas like ICUs, transplant units, and immunocompromised patient rooms. They're also critical during outbreak response while building-wide treatments take effect. ASHRAE recommends point-of-use filtration as part of a multi-barrier approach for vulnerable populations.

Our water system assessment includes a facility walkthrough, review of your water management program, evaluation of high-risk areas, water quality testing, and recommendations for treatment solutions. Assessments are conducted by ASSE 12080-certified water safety specialists and include a detailed report with compliance guidance and implementation roadmap.
