Scheduled water hygiene monitoring visits to help you maintain control of your hot and cold water systems, including temperature checks, tank inspections, TMV checks, expansion vessel checks and routine compliance tasks.
Does your site need a water hygiene monitoring programme?
Water hygiene monitoring is an important part of maintaining control over hot and cold water systems between Legionella risk assessments. A planned programme helps ensure routine checks are completed, recorded and reviewed so that potential issues can be identified and acted on before they become more serious.
Your monitoring requirements will usually depend on your water system, how your site is used, previous findings and the recommendations in your Legionella risk assessment. This may include temperature monitoring, tank inspections, TMV servicing, showerhead cleaning, flushing of little-used outlets and expansion vessel purging.
Some checks may be completed in-house by a competent person, while others may require specialist support. BrodexTrident can provide a full water hygiene monitoring programme or support with specific monitoring and maintenance tasks where required.
You may need a monitoring programme if:
Your Legionella risk assessment recommends routine monitoring tasks
You manage hot and cold water systems in a commercial or shared building
Your site has little-used outlets, TMVs, tanks or expansion vessels
You need clearer records of completed water hygiene checks
You want support keeping routine compliance tasks on schedule

Need support with your water hygiene monitoring programme?
Whether you need a new monitoring programme, additional support with an existing scheme of control, or help addressing gaps identified during a Legionella risk assessment, BrodexTrident can provide practical ongoing support.
Water hygiene monitoring involves routine checks of hot and cold water systems to help confirm that control measures are being maintained. This may include temperature monitoring, calorifier checks, tank inspections, TMV servicing, showerhead cleaning and descaling, expansion vessel checks and flushing reviews.
A planned monitoring programme helps ensure these tasks are completed, recorded and reviewed on a regular basis.
How do I know what monitoring my site needs?
Your monitoring requirements should usually be based on your Legionella risk assessment, the design of your water system, how the building is used, and any previous findings or recommendations.
If your Legionella risk assessment identifies monitoring tasks, BrodexTrident can help complete these checks or support you in setting up a suitable monitoring programme.
Can we complete water hygiene monitoring in-house?
Some routine monitoring tasks may be completed in-house by a competent person, provided they are carried out correctly, recorded clearly and reviewed when required.
BrodexTrident can support sites that manage some checks internally, as well as provide specialist support for tasks such as tank inspections, TMV servicing, calorifier checks, showerhead cleaning and expansion vessel checks.
How often should water hygiene monitoring be carried out?
The frequency of monitoring depends on your water system, the level of risk, how the building is used and the recommendations in your Legionella risk assessment.
Some checks may be required weekly, monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or annually, depending on the task. BrodexTrident can help review your requirements and agree a suitable monitoring schedule.
Does water hygiene monitoring replace a Legionella risk assessment?
No. Water hygiene monitoring does not replace a Legionella risk assessment.
A Legionella risk assessment identifies and evaluates the risks associated with your water systems. Monitoring is then used to help manage those risks and provide evidence that control measures are being maintained between risk assessments.
Can BrodexTrident provide monitoring across multiple sites?
Yes. BrodexTrident can support single sites and multi-site portfolios across the UK.
Monitoring programmes can be arranged around your site requirements, risk assessment findings and preferred reporting structure, helping you maintain consistent records across multiple locations.
