Keeping your water safe - and ACoP L8 compliant
The problems caused by impure water are well-known, but while organisations tend to concentrate on high profile problems such as Legionella bacteria, this is only one of four interacting areas that must be controlled:

As the diagram above indicates, the presence of any one may indicate the system is suffering from all four. It is important to take the risk assessment and, armed with all the facts, take take an integrated approach to the appropriate action. Failure to maintain water quality can lead to inflated production costs, escalating fuel costs and increasing downtime; AquaCare’s treatment planning helps ensure your water quality meets process needs and legislative targets, enabling you to optimise efficiency and operational costs.

Don’t trust your water treatment to luck.  Trust AquaCare to take care of it all.

Regular monitoring contracts
It is the responsibility of the person responsible for the building to ensure the safe operation of the water system and maintain the system so it remains compliant with HSE regulations and ACoP L8 guidelines.

Underpinned by laboratory analyses, AquaCare Water Hygiene Services will carry out a tailored timetable of monitoring and remedial maintenance and monitoring to ensure consistent compliance with relevant legislation - and suggest efficiency improvements that will contribute directly to reducing your operating costs.

AquaCare is experienced in the use of the market-leading ZetaSafe web-based asset management and regulatory Legionella compliance system, as used in universities, local authorities, MOD sites, manufacturing plants, NHS trusts and estates - anywhere ACoP L8 compliance is required.

Closed system maintenance
Our specialist Consultants carefully plan regular maintenance schedules to ensure all requirements are covered, analysing systems regularly and adjusting the treatment regime as necessary.

Regular weekly temperature monitoring for continued ACoP L8 compliance can be arduous as well as costly in labour hours. Help is at hand with an automated legionella control and monitoring system from Radio-Tech. With a network of wireless connect, battery-powered Legionella and water delivery temperature sensors linked to a remote web server, weekly data is accurately measured, collected and stored, giving the building manager peace of mind as well as reduced operating costs.

Cooling tower maintenance
This, particularly high-risk area for businesses, is subject to the extremely stringent ACoP L8, a code that is fully understood by AquaCare's experienced consultants. From specialist cleaning to water treatment and analysis, we will guide you to ensure all Health & Safety Executive requirements are satisfied. It is important to emphasise that our specialist technicians and consultants in this area are all certificated in safe confined space entry, chemical use, and Legionella awareness.
