What is Legionella? Legionella is a bacterium that causes Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever. It was named after the first known outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in 1976 at an American Legion Convention. Legionnaires’ disease is a severe type of pneumonia. Pontiac fever is a less severe illness that typically resolves without hospitalization. Approximately 90% of ...
Legionella remediations are treatment processes for controlling Legionella in a building water system, generally deployed after routine Legionella testing returns shows systemic positivity or if a case of Legionnaire’s disease is traced back to the facility. Copper-silver ionization is a proven remedial water treatment method backed by hundreds of ...
What is corrosion? Corrosion is the degradation or deterioration of a material caused by a reaction to its environment. In building plumbing systems, corrosion can occur in our piping systems and water-bearing equipment due to reactions, chemicals, and impurities in the water. These processes result in uniform corrosion, pitting, cracking, or erosion, ultimately causing the breakdown and ...
Biofilms, intricate communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic entities, thrive on surfaces through a remarkable process of collaboration and self-protection. Encased within a self-produced, slime-like matrix, these microorganisms firmly anchor themselves to a variety of surfaces, from the moist lining of a water pipe to the hard enamel of our teeth. While ...
LiquiTech worked with the hospital to implement a solution that included the installation of a LiquiTech® Copper-Silver Ionization System and a LiquiTech® Sediment Filtration System, hot water system improvements, and ongoing LiquiTech services, including proactive maintenance, monitoring, and water quality testing. ...
After a Northeast university achieved non-detect Legionella levels in their building’s hot water system with a LiquiTech® Copper-Silver Ionization System, they faced a new obstacle when Legionella was detected in the cold water system due to water stagnation caused by the building’s mixed-use and fluctuating occupancy. ...
The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of fungal colonization in water systems and to evaluate the effect of decreasing fungal colonization by a copper–silver ionization system. Environmental samples were collected for fungal culture prospectively during a 1-year period (2011–2012) at the study hospital. ...
It is designated with the chemical symbol 'Hg' in the periodic table of elements and posses the following physical and chemical properties: Physical Properties Atomic Mass Average: 200.59 Boiling Point: 357ºC / 675ºF / 630K Electrical Conductivity: 0.0104 X 106 / cm Ohm Thermal Conductivity: 0.0834 W / cmK Density: 13.546 g / cc @ 300ºK Melting Point: -38.72ºC / -37.7ºF / 234.28ºK ...
