Temperature Control
Hot and cold water temperatures need to be monitored and managed as part of an effective control scheme.
Hotels and hospitality environments can present a range of water hygiene risks, from guest room showers and little-used outlets to spa pools, hot tubs, cold water storage tanks and calorifiers.
BrodexTrident supports hospitality clients with Legionella risk assessments, water hygiene monitoring, sampling, reporting and remedial guidance to help keep water systems safe, compliant and well managed.
Hot and cold water temperatures need to be monitored and managed as part of an effective control scheme.
Vacant rooms, function areas, staff facilities and seasonal spaces can create areas of reduced water turnover.
Showers can create aerosols and may be affected by irregular use, seasonal occupancy or room closures.
Spa pools and hot tubs require careful management due to warm water, aeration and higher bather loads.
Cold water storage tanks, calorifiers and plant areas should be inspected, maintained and monitored appropriately.
Clear records help demonstrate that monitoring, flushing, sampling and corrective actions are being managed.
Hospitality businesses have a responsibility to assess and control risks associated with their water systems, including the risk of exposure to Legionella. Appropriate control measures will depend on the premises and water system but may include Legionella risk assessments, temperature monitoring, flushing, cleaning and disinfection, sampling and ongoing maintenance.
There is no fixed legal interval for reviewing a Legionella risk assessment. It should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it may no longer be valid, such as following changes to the water system, building use, occupancy or control measures.
Infrequently used bedrooms and other areas can increase the potential for water to stagnate within outlets and associated pipework. Appropriate management measures, such as identifying little-used outlets and implementing a suitable flushing regime, can help control this risk.
Showers can produce aerosols and therefore need to be appropriately managed as part of the site's Legionella control programme. This can include regular cleaning and descaling of showerheads and hoses, temperature monitoring and appropriate management of little-used showers.
Yes. BrodexTrident can provide planned water hygiene monitoring programmes tailored to your premises and water systems, helping you implement and maintain appropriate control measures and keep clear records of ongoing compliance.
