Water system inspections are undertaken periodically (typically on an annual basis) by AEC water hygiene engineers. These inspections are carried out primarily to ensure that the key assets in a water system, such as cold water storage tanks and calorifiers, remain in a hygienic condition and free of sediment, scale and biofilm.
Our engineers will monitor your system for any potential maintenance issues so you can avoid expensive system breakdowns, repairs, and downtime. This service is designed to help prevent system failure and can increase water system efficiency and lifespan.
Legionella sampling and all types of water testing can be carried out on a one-off or contract basis. Our approved partner laboratories analyse water samples for a range of parameters including: Legionella, total bacterial count, coliforms and e-coli as required.
Manual or remote temperature checks are available – typically undertaken at sentinel points (near and far outlets) and outlets typically identified in the risk assessment. Results, risk items and actions are available to view in real time on our Water Management Portal.
