Solving all your water quality concerns and controlling Legionella in line with government legislation and guidance does not have to cost the earth.
With the Orca system your mind will be set at ease; ProEconomy is the only company that guarantees to control Legionella and demonstrates this with a proven system that surpasses national standards.
As well as eradicating Legionella, by installing the Orca system a reduction in hot water temperatures saves you money and reduces your carbon footprint
Unlike any other technique, the Orca system destroys biofilm; a slimy layer that rapidly forms on the inner side of pipework. Biofilm is the biggest source of Legionella bacteria. Read more...
The UK Approved Code of Practice (L8) from the HSE supports copper and silver ionisation as an effective method to control Legionella in hot and cold water systems. The UK HTM04-01 guidance for NHS trusts also supports copper and silver ionization as an effective method to control Legionella in water systems. Read more...
Birgitta Bedford, one of the founders of ProEconomy, is near to completing her PhD study into Legionella control at Cranfield University, UK.
To aid her research, Birgitta set up two small scale rigs in copper and polyethylene piping, simulating closed circuit water systems of hospitals, care homes, hotels, etc., to compare the development of natural biofilms. Each rig incorporates removable sections to examine biofilm density and daily water analysis is carried out to determine bacterial growth. Read more...
