ACoP L8 demands weekly temperature monitoring across all pipes in the water systems within an estate or complex. Installing battery-powered wireless remote monitoring equipment automates this, potentially labour-intensive, task.
Radio-Tech's aquavision Legionella control and monitoring system offers a cost-effective means of monitoring water storage and delivery temperatures across individual or multiple sites. Importantly, it meets the requirements of current water hygiene legislation, including storing data for six years, so protecting the user against negligence prosecution.
Wireless-linked battery-powered sensors plumbed into the water system at key locations automatically flush water through every week and take a series of temperature readings: six readings over one minute for cold, six readings over two minutes for hot. The data is then transmitted to a remote web-based server for analysis and storage. Similarly, additional wireless-linked battery-powered temperature sensors on calorifiers and cold water storage tanks collect and transmit data to provide a complete picture of the system.
In the event of a failing reading, a GPRS SMS message is sent to the appropriate engineer and an email to the building manager responsible, allowing immediate intervention to obviate any latent Legionella threat.
