UV system against legionella: Safety and efficiency

Legionella can become a serious health problem in hot water systems. This is where the UV system comes into play: A effective and sustainable method of combating these undesirable microorganisms.

Traditionally, thermal disinfection has been used as a method against Legionella. However, this method is not only energy intensive, but can also lead to material wear in the pipelines. As a substitute, the UV disinfection offers an environmentally friendly and gentle alternative.

The UV system serves as a central disinfection option. Its effectiveness is explicitly confirmed and described by worksheet W551 of the DVGW, the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water. One of the biggest plus points: The UV system is highly effective against legionella.

A particular strength becomes apparent during installation: The UV system is installed directly in the hot water circuit. This means that the hot water freshly disinfected with every run This means that the hot water is freshly disinfected with every run, which ensures constant safety against legionella and other microorganisms.

As an additional measure, we recommend regular flushing of the system. This will eliminate standing water, which could be a potential reservoir for Legionella, reliably removed from the system.

With a UV system in the hot water circuit, you can therefore rely on a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly disinfection method that meets the highest standards.
