The presence of Legionella in hot water pipes is a serious problem for property owners, property managers, landlords and hotel operators, as they can multiply quickly, especially in old pipes and due to energy conservation. Traditional methods of combating Legionella have disadvantages: Thermal disinfection is time-consuming and expensive, while biocides harmful to health and the environment lose their effectiveness over time. In addition, biocides are only approved for a limited period and will gradually be banned by the new Biocide Ordinance. It will then no longer be possible to purchase them.
The good news is that VA-Hydro is a highly effective alternative to thermal disinfection and biocides. It was developed based on a hydrophysical process. The VA-Hydro has been proven to reduce bacterial colonies in warm water in a safe and energy-efficient manner.
The VA-Hydro replaces conventional thermal disinfection, thus enabling considerable savings in the costs for warm water preparation and using electricity, fuel oil, natural gas and wood pellets. In our calculation example, using the VA-Hydro leads to an impressive total saving of around 58 % per year.
The VA-Hydro destroys bacteria and germs exceptionally efficiently. With continuous use, their numbers are drastically reduced. Temporarily, there may be an increase when Legionella nests are flushed out of the pipes. But once these nests are removed, the bacteria count drops rapidly and remains permanently low.
