Today’s water systems are made from a variety of piping materials that impact water quality. The type of piping material has a direct influence on the risk of microbial contamination inside your water system. Specific materials have different tolerances to high heat, chlorine and other biocides used in Legionella control. Join us and explore the variety of piping materials and their susceptibility to Legionella and Legionella risks.
