Aefyt remembers how to maintain and disinfect spas, swimming pools, nebulizers and other solutions to alleviate heat.
The Association of Cold Companies and their Technology, Aefyt, in its annual campaign on the prevention of legionella in risk teams, recalls the keys to proper maintenance in spas, swimming pools, public fountains, nebulizers and cooling towers.
The legionellosis usually follows a seasonal pattern, registering an increase of cases during the summer due to the increase in temperature. Adequate maintenance of the cooling towers and other risk equipment – sprinklers, nebulizers, spas, swimming pools or public fountains – is key to the prevention of this disease.
In fact, at the Technical Seminar on the UNE 100030 Standard for Legionella prevention and control, which took place last May at the CEOE headquarters, the speakers agreed on how special attention has been given to cooling equipment. evaporative, generating an unjustified social alarm, while other installations at risk must be equally treated against Legionella.
In this regard, the Association adds that the technical advances of recent years contribute to facilitate the maintenance of the equipment and reduce the risk that these host and spread colonies of legionella.
Easier maintenance and better social-health security
- This is the case of high efficiency fillers that have been transformed with the use of resistant materials-polypropylene and polyester-;
- the droplet separators, which have undergone a similar evolution in terms of effectiveness in preventing the outflow of water droplets;
- the improvement of accessibility, through large doors that facilitate the entry of technicians;
- evolution in systems to facilitate drainage, cleaning and sampling, which translates into inclined trays, platforms and stairs; and finally,
- the windows, whose design avoids the passage of light or water that carries dirt, preventing the ultraviolet rays from causing the necessary conditions for the microbiological development inside the tower.
“It should be remembered that legionella is fought in winter, which means that the full maintenance program must be carried out throughout the year,” recalls Manuel Lamúa, AEFYT manager. It is worth remembering the need to carry out the correct maintenance and cleaning of all the risk equipment contemplated in Royal Decree 865/2003, of 4 July.
