Legionella Prevention System
Protect Lives and Lower Energy Use with Effective Legionella Prevention
Why is Legionella Prevention Critical in Water Systems?
Legionella bacteria, commonly found in warm water systems, pose serious health risks, especially in healthcare settings and large facilities. Exposure to Legionella can lead to Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal respiratory illness, making prevention crucial for hospitals, hotels, and senior living centers.
Beyond health risks, untreated Legionella can also lead to energy inefficiencies as biofilm and bacteria accumulate in the system.
CQM GROUP’s Legionella Prevention System provides a safe, chemical-free solution that not only protects human health but also supports energy efficiency by keeping water systems clean and operating at peak performance.
How the Legionella Prevention System Works
The SRLP (Scale Reduction Legionella Prevention) System uses electrolysis to treat water effectively and without chemicals. When a direct current is applied, dissolved salts ionize, producing chlorine at the anode to disinfect the water, eliminating harmful organisms. Meanwhile, calcium and magnesium compounds (which cause scale) accumulate on the cathode.
The SRLP System’s unique self-cleaning mechanism automatically removes these deposits, keeping the system clean and efficient without manual intervention. This continuous, chemical-free process ensures reliable performance and optimal water quality at all times.
Applications for the Legionella Prevention System
- Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Ensures safe hot water systems, protecting vulnerable patients from Legionella exposure.
- Hotels and Resorts: Maintains water safety for guests, enhancing reputation and compliance with health standards.
- Retirement Homes: Safeguards elderly residents by preventing Legionella growth in hot water systems.
- Educational Institutions: Provides safe water for students and staff, ensuring a healthy environment.
- Commercial Buildings: Protects occupants by maintaining Legionella-free water systems in offices and public spaces.
- Cooling Towers: Prevents Legionella in industrial processes surroundings, keeping work environment safe.
CQM GROUP’s innovative solutions keep your systems running at maximum efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

Case Study
Bnai-Zion Rothschild Hospital, Israel
Year of installation: 2010
Challenge: The hospital needed an effective solution to eliminate Legionella from its hot water system without relying on chemicals or increasing water temperatures above 60°C, as required by Israel’s Ministry of Health.
Solution: CQM installed the SRBL system, an innovative bactericide and Legionella disinfection solution, designed to disinfect recirculating hot water—even in low-velocity pipes—without raising water temperature or using hazardous chemicals.
Results:
- Zero Legionella count in all periodic Ministry of Health tests since installation.
- Safe, chemical-free water disinfection, ensuring compliance and patient safety.
