Legionella Water Temperature Thermometer Kit

The Legionnaires Water Temperature Thermometer Kit  contains everything needed to monitor water supply temperatures  to prevent the growth of Legionella.

The Thermometer Kit  includes a Therma 1 industrial thermometer  robust and easy to use that works in a  range -99.9 to 1372°C  with a resolution of 0.1°C or 1°C.

With a  10,000 hour battery life , 1.5 volt AAA batteries will last at least 5 years.

The Legionnaire's Kit  includes three different probes for different elements of the water system .

The penetration temperature probe  can be used to record tap water temperature,  the ribbon surface temperature probe  for the surface of pipes and tanks and  wire probe  for all hard to reach areas.

Incorrect water temperature is a key risk factor for Legionella growth.

Legionella bacteria multiply in water at temperatures between 20 and 45°C , especially if a nutrient input is present, such as scale, rust, sludge or algae.

A typical method of control is to store cold water below 20°C.

Hot water should be stored above 60°C and distributed above 50°C.

The code now applies to all hot and cold water systems in the workplace , regardless of their capacity, i.e. the lower limit of 300 liters previously used to exclude domestic systems no longer applies.

Each Legionella thermometer kit contains:

-  1 Thermometer Therma 1 ( AR005738 )

-  1 Penetration probe ( AR005667  )

-  1 Precision ribbon surface probe ( AR005852 )

-  1 PTFE wire probe ( AR005973 )

-   Kitchen timer ( AR005381 )

-  Tub of 70 Mini Wipes

-  ABS carrying case

LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LEGIONELLA TEST

If you are the employer or the person responsible for the premises , you must organize a risk assessment related to exposure to legionella.

The revised version of the approved Code of Practice  (ACOP) on Legionnaires' disease: Control of bacterial Legionella in water systems (L8) published by the Government of Health and Safety (HSE) extends the scope of its guidance on the control of legionella in the water.

While domestic systems can pose a risk,  the code applied only to a risk resulting from a professional activity , but include domestic landlords who have a duty to protect their tenants from health risks.
