Hotels en Resorts

NH Atlanta hotel

• Hotels have a high density of showers, and therefore increased risk of spreading Legionella;
• A variety of water temperatures and a complex, sometimes old, plumbing system in which the Legionella bacteria can survive;
• Varying utilisations of rooms can lead to stagnant water in parts of the plumbing system, which in turn leads to increased Legionella risk;
• A Legionella contamination in a hotel or resort has severe consequences:
  
  • Guests have to be housed elsewhere;
  • Negative publicity;
  • Loss of revenues;
  • Liability when a guest becomes ill;
• Modifying the building and the water system is impossible or impractical and very disruptive of operations;
• Chemical flushing is costly and also very disruptive;
• Prevention is the best cure;
