ETI Legionnaire's Thermometer Kit

The ETI Legionnaire's Thermometer Kit (or Legionella thermometer kit) can be used to monitor the temperature of both standing water and the surface of pipes and tanks that form part of the water system. This kit comes with a traceable certificate of calibration. What is Legionnaires' disease? Legionnaires' disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. The cause of the disease is a bacterium called legionella pneumophila. How is it caught? Legionnaires' disease is caught by inhaling small droplets of water suspended in the air which contain the legionella bacterium, e.g. spray from showers and taps. What are the sources of legionella bacterium? The legionella bacterium is found mainly in stagnant water, e.g. ponds and rivers or buildings containing cooling tower, evaporation condensers, air conditioning and industrial cooling systems, humidifiers, spa baths and hot and cold water systems. Incorrect water temperature is a key risk factor for legionella growth. The legionella bacteria multiply in water at temperatures between 20 to 45°C, particularly if a supply of nutrients is present, such as scale, rust, sludge or algae. A typical method of control is to store cold water below 20°C. Hot water should be stored above 60°C and distributed at above 50°C.FEATURES0.1°C resolution. Wide temperature measurement range.
