Comprehensive Legionella Testing Services for Cooling Towers

Why Legionella Testing for Cooling Towers Is Critical

Cooling towers have everything Legionella bacteria need to live: warm water, debris, and constant airflow. If you skip routine Legionella testing, harmful bacteria can spread in the mist and put people at risk for serious illness.
Regular cooling tower Legionella testing is required by law in many areas, and it’s one of the best ways to protect your building. If you’re due for a test, don’t delay. By testing your system and keeping good records, you’ll follow local rules, avoid shutdowns, and lower the risk of Legionella-related illness.
