Long-Term Care Legionella Solutions

Compliance Legionella Solutions Facility Managers & Consultant Engineers

Consultant engineers can save time by leveraging the knowledge of our industry experts when designing Legionella prevention potable water treatment specifications. We can provide custom, open, and unbranded specifications for Consultant Engineers to study and use in their construction projects.

Copper Silver Ionization Controls Legionella Across Entire Potable Water Distribution Networks

Thermal-eradication and hyper-chlorination chemical treatments can be useful in the short term, however legionella will typically reappear within 3-6 weeks after the process is complete. These treatment options are not considered long-term Legionella growth prevention solutions and do not thoroughly saturate existing biofilm, and other contaminants that harbor legionella growth.

CSIDefender® works by generating and releasing copper and silver ions into the potable water, providing automated computer control long term protection against bacteria growth without the need for periodical costly repeated short-term treatments. These ions fully penetrate the biofilm within 30-45 days, killing bacteria at the source and preventing future growth across the entire water system.

Both chlorine and thermal eradication are short term solutions that are resource and labor-intensive.

CSIDefender® copper-silver ionization solutions are up to 66% more cost-effective than these less reliable solutions.

Copper Silver Ionization Solutions for Legionella Domestic Hot Water Treatment

CSIDefender® Copper–silver Ionization is a Legionella potable water treatment technology for Legionella growth control and prevention.

CSIDefender®, engineered for medical & commercial applications, are installed to provide Legionella potable water treatment in either domestic hot water distribution networks or point of entry applications.

Legionella is a bacterium known to cause Legionnaires’ disease, a preventable form of severe pneumonia. Copper-silver ionization is commonly specified by consultant engineers for new construction projects and retrofits in existing facilities. C-ETL-UL, CSA, CE, and NSF/ANSI61 on all wetted components.

Safe, Chemical Free Water Treatment

Some plumbing code regulations require that domestic hot water (DHW) systems deliver water at no more than 120°F, which also happens in the temperature range for legionella growth. One of the most common growth remediation techniques used by nursing homes is thermal-eradication, which uses superheated water at 140°F (or higher) to kill the bacteria. Those with experience understand that this approach is a massive waste of energy, increases the risk of scalding to the elderly residents, and is known to damage existing plumbing infrastructure features such as faucets and showers that are typically not designed for these higher water temperatures.

CSIDefender® works differently. By releasing positively charged copper and silver ions that bond with Legionella bacteria, they prevent the growth by saturating the biofilm where these bacteria are known to grow. No chemicals, No scalding hot water, and the technology delivers a safe, reliable, and effective alternative for long-term care and nursing home occupants.

Cost-Effective Legionella Solutions without Sacrificing on Performance

Prevent legionella while working within your capital and operational, budgetary constraints. Thermal-eradication techniques significantly increase energy costs, and chemical treatments that use chlorine or chlorine dioxide require costly third-party service contracts.

Both chlorine and thermal eradication are short term solutions that are resource and labor-intensive. Alternatively, the CSIDefender® copper-silver ionization solution is up to 66% more cost-effective than these less reliable solutions.
