Disinfection After Contamination

A contamination incident that ends in a safe return

An abnormal sampling result, a change in the water's color, odor, or taste, or a report of illness - all of these call for immediate action. Cleaning and disinfection after contamination is not just a disinfection step, but a process that begins by tracing the source of the problem, continues with a thorough disinfection of the system using approved agents, and ends with repeat sampling that proves the water has returned to normal. Kesar Digum sees the incident through from the outset to confirmation of the return to routine, and provides orderly documentation for the regulator.

What's Included

How a Contamination Incident Is Handled

From tracing the source of contamination to repeat sampling that confirms a return to routine.

Tracing the Source of Contamination

Inspecting the system to locate the source of the problem - a reservoir, piping, a faulty connection, or rainwater ingress - as the basis for a targeted response.

Thorough Disinfection with Approved Agents

A thorough disinfection of the system with an approved solution at a controlled concentration and contact time, followed by a final flush.

Repeat Sampling for Confirmation

Taking a repeat water sample after disinfection and testing it at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to confirm a safe return to routine.

Disinfection Following Legionella

When the contamination is Legionella bacteria, disinfection is paired with dedicated repeat sampling to confirm the treatment succeeded.

When It's Needed

When Is Disinfection After Contamination Needed?

A contamination incident calls for a fast response. These are the common situations that require disinfection:

Abnormal Sampling Result

A sampling result that exceeds the standard requires disinfecting the system and repeat sampling until a clean result is obtained.

Immediate

Change in Color, Odor, or Taste

A noticeable change in water quality points to possible contamination that calls for testing, source tracing, and disinfection.

As needed

Reports of Illness

A suspicion that illness cases are linked to the system's water requires immediate action, disinfection, and repeat sampling for confirmation.

Immediate

Positive Legionella Finding

A positive Legionella finding requires disinfecting the water system and repeat sampling to confirm the treatment succeeded.

As needed
The Risk

What Happens When Contamination Goes Untreated?

Contamination that isn't treated doesn't disappear on its own - it keeps exposing consumers. Here's what's at stake:

Continued Exposure to Illness

As long as the system hasn't been disinfected, consumers remain exposed to contaminated water and the risk of illness.

Contamination That Recurs and Spreads

Without tracing the source and a thorough disinfection, contamination tends to return and even spread to other parts of the system.

Regulatory and Legal Exposure

Failing to address a documented contamination incident exposes the responsible party to citations from the regulator and to claims in the event of illness.
