What are legionella bacteria?

Legionella occurs as rod-shaped bacteria in drinking water. Some of the legionella types can cause serious diseases. Residents who are found to have legionella bacteria in their drinking water are at risk of serious infection.

Legionella is a bacteria that can cause serious illness.

Legionella bacteria are everywhere there is water - in showerheads, water pipes, sewage treatment plants, whirlpools and other facilities. They love stagnant water and water temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius. They then exponentially multiply and can enter the lungs via fine water droplets in the air (aerosols) 
The daily showering, operation and cleaning of medical-technical equipment for respiratory/air humidification and inhalation are thus a source of infection for the life-threatening Legionella disease.

The shower head with legionella filter and our legionella filter for the tap are the IMMEDIATE PROTECTION in case of positive legionella infestation. Simply installed, this medical grade product offers advanced membrane technology that safely retains Legionella bacteria and allows showering and water use even during a positive Legionella finding. 

How long do legionella filters last?

One of the most frequently asked questions from our customers is the service life of the Legionella filters.

The Silt Density Index (SDI) is a measure of the number of particles in the water. With an average silt density, the Legionella filter will last 8 weeks to 6 months if the SDI value is 4.

SDI < 5 min-1: Pre-filtration is not necessary
SDI = 5 min-1 - 10 min-1: Simple filtration (e.g. with sand) is recommended
SDI >10 min-1: Multi-stage pre-cleaning is necessary.

The SDI value can only be determined directly on site. After thermal disinfection, the SDI rises sharply. Let the warm water run at the sink for at least 5 minutes before using the legionella filter shower head afterwards.

As a hotel or public facility, our shower heads are particularly suitable. The discreet chrome design allows use after the successful sanitation measures even without a legionella filter. In case of renewed legionella infestation, a replacement filter is simply reinserted. Especially for hotels, accommodations, care facilities or other administrations this leads to immense cost savings, as rooms do not have to be blocked for a longer period of time. 

Cleaning the Legionella shower head

The Legionella shower head can be cleaned with vinegar & water, just like any shower head. You should carry out this procedure when changing the filter if there is no legionella filter in the shower head. This way there is no risk of damaging the legionella filter in the shower head.

Legionella filter for washbasins and bathtubs

Our Legionella filters for the sink also consist of terminal filters that comply with sterile filtration. To use them, you must purchase the complete kit when you first order them, which includes a safety adapter. When changing the filter later, this ensures that no contaminated water can leak out.
