Legionella Risk Starts with Unstable Water Conditions
Legionella outbreaks can lead to shutdowns, fines and serious compliance risk. But these events don’t start with bacteria alone. They develop when water conditions allow biofilm and bacterial growth to take hold. MATpure® catalytically conditions water upstream to limit those drivers, reducing biofilm formation and making it harder for Legionella to grow.
Why Legionella Prevention Matters
Legionella bacteria thrive in industrial water systems, leading to outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease, a severe and sometimes fatal respiratory illness. Fines, liability risks, and operational shutdowns make prevention critical.
Traditional chemical treatments rely on constant dosing of harsh biocides and reactive treatments, increasing costs and environmental risks.
CAPE HydroTek’s approach prevents Legionella from growing by disrupting the conditions that allow biofilm to form.
Proactive Legionella Control Without Heavy Biocide Use
Most Legionella control strategies are reactive, relying on chemical shock treatments after growth has already taken hold. This approach increases cost, variability and operational risk. MATpure® helps prevent biofilm formation and reduces the conditions that allow Legionella to grow.
With MATpure® installed in-line and without additives, systems become more stable and less dependent on aggressive chemical intervention. This means:
✔ Fewer unplanned disruptions related to biological growth
✔ Reduced reliance on chemical shock treatments and biocides
✔ More consistent system performance with less intervention
✔ Stronger support for ongoing compliance and system hygiene
Eliminate Unpredictable Chemical Costs & Compliance Headaches
Regulatory fines for Legionella outbreaks can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars per incident. These risks increase as water conditions become harder to control, requiring constant chemical adjustment to stay within compliance and maintain performance.
With MATpure®, facilities have achieved:
- Up to 50% reduction in chemical costs
- Fewer unplanned shutdowns and extended maintenance intervals due to cleaner systems
- More consistent Legionella control aligned with regulatory requirements
Is Your Facility at Risk?
Legionella can thrive in any industrial water system, but some facilities face higher risks due to complex piping, warm water temperatures, or stagnant areas.
High-risk facilities include:
- Cooling towers, HVAC systems, and evaporative condensers
- Manufacturing plants and food processing facilities
- Power plants and energy production sites
- Any facility using recycled or heated water
