Legionella Water Treatment

Copper-Silver Ionization: The Best Solution

In large facilities like hospitals, hotels and long-term care (LTC) homes, Legionella in potable water systems is a public health risk.

Among all the options, Copper-Silver Ionization (CSI) is the most effective and proven method. CSI releases controlled levels of copper and silver ions into the water system to disrupt Legionella’s cellular processes and prevent growth.

Benefits of Copper-Silver Ionization

• Whole System Protection: Unlike point-of-use (POU) filters, CSI treats the entire potable water system.
• Longevity: Once calibrated, CSI systems require no maintenance and can run for years.
• Flexibility: CSI systems like the CSIPhoenix® models use real-time ion monitoring to maintain optimal levels no matter the water conditions.
• Environmental Friendly: CSI doesn’t require high levels of chemical additives and reduces byproducts and environmental impact.

For facilities with complex water systems and high-risk populations, CSI is the standard for Legionella management and ASHRAE Guideline 12 compliance.
