Monochloramines vs Copper-Silver Ionization CSI for Secondary Disinfection Monochloramines and copper-silver ionization (CSI) are two proven methods for controlling Legionella and other waterborne pathogens in potable water systems. Monochloramines offer broad-spectrum disinfection, strong biofilm penetration, and lasting residuals, but may promote certain pathogens and produce by-products. CSI provides long-lasting residual protection, is effective at biofilm disruption, and avoids harmful by-products, but has higher upfront costs and a narrower range of action. The best choice depends on water quality, system design, and facility needs, with both working best as part of a comprehensive water management strategy.
