Through its AquaAnalytics Data Management, Service and Water Management Program, DuBois Chemicals has the tools to effectively develop, implement, and execute Water Safety plans for your facility.
The AquaAnalytics approach determines control measures – what to control and where – and then defines a monitoring program and corrective actions to minimize the risk of Legionella.
We can assist you in developing a custom Water Safety Plan for your facility to comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2018, “Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems” and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) S&C 17-30 June 02, 2017 memorandum.
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188 and CMS state that facilities must have a Water Safety Plan. AquaAnalytics assists you in executing your plan and provides a record of compliance.
All members of the water safety team have access to the most current version of the water safety plan, verification summary reports, analytical results, and validation summary reports.
The system gives you peace of mind that things are under control and that your data is backed up and always available.
Water Safety Plans are often complex – involving multiple people, with numerous task responsibilities, at varied frequencies. AquaAnalytics provides personalized task management views and automated reminders of all assigned tasks.
In addition to the AquaAnalytics platform, DuBois offers a full product line of solutions to help minimize the risk of Legionella in your building, including:
• Oxidizing and non-oxidizing microbiocides • Monitoring and Control Equipment • Point of Use Filtration • Secondary Disinfection Equipment
A Government service provider had 16 facilities in a managing district. Each of these buildings contained at least one cooling tower, along with other water systems such as closed loops and boilers. Operations at each building were permitted to choose their own water treatment supplier. Six different water treatment suppliers serviced the sixteen buildings. The results at each facility varied; with each facility operating under different chemistries and programs, key factors such as cycles of concentration varied. Also, the methods of communication between service provider and facility management (as well as management at the district level,) varied as well.
Following the Bronx Legionella outbreak, and the subsequent laws and regulations that followed, the status quo was deemed unsuccessful. A comprehensive program applied across all facilities in the district was desired.
DuBois developed a complete Legionella Risk Minimization program for cooling applications at all 16 facilities. The programs used innovative Monitrol technology to deliver consistent results across all facilities. Routine service visits would monitor all key system parameters including bacteria and Legionella monitoring. Communication concerning test results, service reports, and any necessary corrective actions would be handled through the DuBoisService.com Data Management Program.
Results and Benefits
• ASHRAE 188 compliant Legionella Water Management Plans were developed for all 16 sites.
• The Monitrol chemical and equipment program installed across all the sites allowed for reliable, predictable, and consistent results across all facilities.
• Legionella counts have remained under control.
• Communication within specific facilities, as well as across all facilities, is easily handled by DuBoisService.com, which allows for easy generation of trend reports to evaluate results and find possible areas for continuous improvement.
• When audited by government officials, the ease of access of records within DuBoisService.com easily demonstrated that the plan was being implemented as designed, and the plan was working to limit Legionella risk.
