It can develop in water distribution systems, especially those used temporarily during events such as festivals, marathons and other pop-up sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Risks associated with temporary water networks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Temporary water systems are particularly vulnerable to Legionella growth due to temperature variations, water stagnation times, and frequent changes in piping configurations. These conditions can create an environment conducive to the growth of bacteria, posing a serious health risk to consumers. These bacteria thrive particularly when <strong>the water temperature is between 25\u00b0C and 45\u00b0C<\/strong>. They tend to colonize sanitary installations, particularly domestic hot water (DHW) circuits and networks, notably showers. This pathology can also develop through inhalation of contaminated water aerosols.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regulation and monitoring of legionella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several regulatory t<a href=\"https:\/\/sante.gouv.fr\/soins-et-maladies\/maladies\/maladies-et-infections-respiratoires\/article\/prevention-de-la-legionellose-les-obligations-par-type-d-installation-et-d\">exts govern<\/a> the surveillance and means of combating legionella in the most at-risk installations.<br \/>\nAt WATERLAB Services, we strictly comply with these regulations to ensure the safety of our facilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disinfection and ATP metric tests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We rigorously disinfect our temporary water networks and regularly carry out <strong>ATP metry tests<\/strong> to monitor the presence of any biological contamination. ATP metry is an effective method for quickly measuring microbiological load and ensuring that water remains healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Legionella is located in the <strong>biofilm<\/strong>. This is why we carry <strong>out a scraping action on the pipes using a foam plug<\/strong>. This allows for more effective exposure to disinfection products.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of DHW (domestic hot water) production installations, we always carry out a thermal shock. In fact, legionella bacteria are destroyed in a <strong>few hours at 50\u00b0C and in a few minutes at 60\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hydrolab technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To enhance safety, we use cutting-edge equipment like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterlab-services.com\/en\/equipements\/supply-of-clean-water-water-treatment\/\">Hydrolab<\/a>. Our Hydrolab is based on HydroFLOW\u00a9 technology. This is non-intrusive and without the use of chemicals. It is unique in the sector of temporary drinking water supply installations. Hydrolab uses electric fields to prevent biofilm formation and the growth of bacteria, including legionella, eliminating any risk of contamination among consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lab&#8217;box: complete process of maintaining potability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterlab-services.com\/en\/equipements\/supply-of-clean-water-water-disinfection\/\">Lab&#8217;box<\/a> is additional equipment that can be added to temporary installations. We also integrate it into our process of maintaining water potability. The Lab&#8217;box is a complete and secure solution for the management of drinking water on temporary sites.
