70%
Of all water systems are contaminated with legionella
We help reduce the high cost of HAIs and bolster population health by targeting the root cause: drinking water.
Water security is one of the most pressing issues facing facility owners and managers across multiple sectors. That’s because a clean water supply is essential to ensuring the health and safety of those environments. Having a plan in place to prevent pathogens from entering and contaminating this vital resource is critical, which is why so many healthcare and commercial operations have chosen us to be their water management company.
After 25 years of focusing on facility drinking water, we’ve become experts at identifying risk, improving operations, and instilling confidence that your team is taking a holistic approach to improving the quality of care and HAI mitigation. Our expertise as a leading water solution company gives us the capabilities and the know-how to guard against waterborne pathogens and to ensure a clean and healthy environment inside your facility. You can count on us to deliver effective, practical solutions that protect your systems at every stage.
A Comprehensive Multi-Barrier Approach to Water Safety
Water pathogens have met their match with our broad range of services.
Point-of-Entry Filtration
LiquiTech's SAFETGARD® self-cleaning filtration system improves incoming water quality by removing sediment, corrosion, and biofilm deposits at the point of entry. Damage caused by sediment and iron-based corrosion particulates can be extremely expensive and time-consuming to repair. Our unique process starts with a sediment analysis to determine the right solution for your facility. Compared to traditional filtration technologies, LiquiTech's SAFETGARD system can save up to 90% more water and involves far less maintenance and inspection.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
UV disinfection is a broad-spectrum, non-chemical disinfection technology used in commercial, industrial, and healthcare settings for the inactivation of microorganism. UV disinfection is generated in special UV lamps. A watertight quartz tube surrounds each lamp. The liquid to be disinfected is passed through the quartz tubing where gas plasma generated in the lamp emits intensive UV light. When microorganisms are exposed to the germicidal wavelength of UV light, their cellular DNA and RNA absorbs the wavelengths, thereby damaging their nucleic acid. This modifies the DNA of the microorganisms to be unable to divide and reproduce, thus rendering it inactive. UV provides rapid inactivation of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and molds.
Copper Silver Ionziation
Copper silver ionization is a non-chemical water treatment technology regarded as the most clinically effective prevention and remediation solution for Legionella, the bacteria responsible for Legionnaires' disease (Legionellosis). During this treatment, ions are systematically introduced into the water using a byproduct-free method to rid plumbing infrastructure of Legionella bacteria and other waterborne pathogens.
Water Testing
Water testing and validation is essential to water management and allows for corrective actions and enhanced monitoring within a facility's environment. Have on-site Legionella DNA testing with highly accurate results in 45 minutes to help you eradicate Legionella bacteria.

Waterborne Pathogens
Common waterborne pathogens and bacteria that pose a risk to your facility
Legionella
Legionella is a bacteria found in both potable and nonpotable water systems that proliferates rapidly in warm water environments. Legionnaires' disease, the resulting condition of being affected by Legionella, is a severe, often lethal, form of pneumonia that affects up to an estimated 18,000 people in the United States each year.
Pseudomonas
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in moist environments and plumbing systems that is a common source of infection such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, sepsis, and multiple other ailments.
Mycobacteria
Mycobacteria is a bacteria found in water systems that is the cause of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) disease as well as several other ailments. It proliferates rapidly in warm water environments and poses a threat when exposed to humans.
Stenotrophomonas
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a bacteria found in moist environments and plumbing systems and is the cause of a wide range of illnesses such as bacteremia, pulmonary infections, urinary tract infections, meningitis, and many others.
Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidium, also known as "Crypto" is a bacteria found in water systems that is the cause of cryptosporidiosis as well as several other ailments. It is very resistant to chlorine, which is why it can survive for days even in properly chlorinated pools.
Giardia
Giardia lamblia is a waterborne parasite that lives in the intestine of infected humans or animals. You can become infected after accidentally swallowing the parasite or via contact with blood. Giardia have been proven to be extremely resistant to oxidant treatments such as chlorine.
Reduce Risk with On-Site Legionella DNA Testing
Highly Accurate Results in 45 Minutes to Help You Eradicate Legionella Bacteria
The Spartan Legionella Detection System is the first on-site DNA test for Legionella and it can detect and quantify Legionella bacteria in 45 minutes. Spartan’s test allows immediate detection and remediation of Legionella contamination.

Testimonials
“Potable water is the most common source of healthcare associated legionellosis. It was not until a copper silver ionization system was installed that we saw a precipitous decline in positive Legionella cultures. Potable water cultures, positive for Legionella, were reduced from 30% to less than 1%. Most importantly, we have not had a single case of hospital-acquired legionellosis for almost 20 years, since the system was installed, linked to potable water.”
“I remain a strong advocate of copper/silver disinfection for the effective and safe treatment of water and safety from waterborne pathogens, specifically, legionella, which is a serious health threat in every healthcare organization.
I also attest to the fact that LPCH has been free of the tested waterborne pathogens since LiquiTech unit has been installed at LPCH.”
“LiquiTech is a company that we value and respect because their team goes above and beyond.
Our copper silver ionization system has helped my entire water management program. Kaiser Fremont has partnered with LiquiTech for over 10 years now and we hope to continue working together for many more.”
