Two Powerful Methods of Secondary Disinfection

Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) is a top option for secondary disinfection in hospitals, senior living communities, and healthcare facilities because it effectively neutralizes harmful pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Legionella, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease.

Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) outperforms standard chlorine by penetrating biofilms and neutralizing bacteria more effectively, improving water safety, quality, taste, and odor. It has a similar efficacy to chlorine dioxide without the risks. It’s made from simple salt, avoiding hazardous chemicals, and achieves faster, broader disinfection than chlorine at the same dose and contact time. This makes MOS a safer, more efficient choice for reliable secondary disinfection.

Copper-silver ionization is a CDC-recognized method for secondary disinfection, helping prevent bacterial growth in potable and utility water systems across hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hotels, and other large facilities.

Copper-silver ionization is a non-chemical, clinically proven method for controlling waterborne pathogens, such as Legionella, by releasing safe levels of copper and silver ions into plumbing systems to disrupt and kill bacteria. It operates below EPA limits, has no harmful byproducts, is completely unaffected by water temperature like all the oxidizers, and has easy options for monitoring ion levels.

To align with ASHRAE 188 standards, every commercial building with a complex water system should implement a comprehensive Water Management Program (WMP), including a 7-step framework to identify and control water-related risks.

Legionella Control Systems' expert team assists with assembling a multidisciplinary water safety team, mapping water systems, analyzing hazards, and implementing monitoring and validation protocols. Each plan includes detailed documentation, such as flow diagrams, testing schedules, and corrective actions tailored to meet regulatory expectations like those from The Joint Commission and CMS, ensuring safer water systems and reduced liability.
