Stop Treating Legionella Compliance Like a Tick-Box Exercise
Traditional monthly checks give you a snapshot in time,
not an understanding of how risk develops between inspections.
Legionella Watch provides continuous, data-driven visibility, so you can manage Legionella risk as an ongoing process, not just demonstrate compliance at inspection points.
Certified member of the Legionella Control Association (LCA) and trusted nationwide by high-stakes sectors like Healthcare and Housing.
The Truth: Your Legionella Compliance
Might Only Look Safe on Paper
For years, Legionella monitoring has followed the same pattern:
the same outlets, the same time each month, the same “all clear” report.
It’s convenient. It’s predictable. And it often provides a false sense of certainty.
Built Around Calendars, Not System Behaviour
Monthly Snapshots, Not Ongoing Insight
Tick-Box Evidence, Not Continuous Control
Checks happen when access is convenient, not necessarily when water systems are most vulnerable.
A temperature reading taken once a month shows what happened at that moment, not what occurred during the other 29 days.
Duty holders receive reports that appear compliant, while conditions that allow Legionella to develop can emerge quietly between visits.
No news is not the same as no risk.
It usually just means risk hasn’t become visible yet.
If Buildings Have Moved On,
Why Has Legionella Monitoring Stood Still?
Today’s buildings are complex, dynamic environments: Occupancy patterns change, Systems are extended or reconfigured, Outlets go unused.
Expectations around safety, governance, and ESG continue to rise. Yet many organisations still rely on a monitoring model designed for static systems and predictable use.
Modern Legionella management needs to recognise a simple reality:
Water systems change continuously, risk develops over time.
Effective monitoring should therefore be:
- Continuous or high-frequency – providing visibility beyond monthly snapshots
- Risk-led – guided by system behaviour, not diary availability
- Transparent – giving duty holders ongoing insight, not delayed reassurance
- Flexible – allowing protection levels to evolve as buildings and usage change
Meet Legionella Watch:
Continuous Visibility for an Ever Evolving System
Legionella Watch replaces routine box-ticking with ongoing, data-driven visibility, so you can see how your water systems behave over time, not just at inspection points. It doesn’t claim to “finish” compliance. It helps you stay oriented as conditions change.
Real-Time Monitoring
Capture temperatures and system data continuously or at high frequency across your building or entire estate.
Smart Alerts & Trends
Get notified when readings fall outside safe parameters, and spot issues early through trend analysis.
Evidence & Assurance
Demonstrate ongoing due diligence with clear dashboards, audit-ready histories, and configurable reporting.
Legionella Watch continuously tracks temperatures, flow events, and system health, providing the insight needed to manage change, reduce manual effort, and respond before issues escalate.
From Snapshot Confidence to Ongoing Understanding
Continuous or High-Frequency Data
→ Move beyond relying on isolated moments. Understand how systems behave across days, weeks, and seasons.
System-Wide Visibility
→ Look beyond selective sampling. See behaviour across outlets, risers, zones, and higher-risk areas.
Configurable Thresholds & Compliance Levels
→ Align monitoring to building type, occupancy risk, and organisational tolerance, and adjust as conditions evolve.
Dashboards for Duty Holders
→ Replace static PDF reports with live visibility into what’s stable, what’s changing, and what needs attention.
Audit-Ready Evidence
→ Provide regulators, insurers, and stakeholders with defensible records that reflect continuous management, not isolated checks.
Fewer Site Visits, Better Targeting
→ Focus effort where behaviour indicates change, rather than following fixed schedules.
Designed for Organisations Managing Ongoing Risk
Legionella Watch is suited to organisations that recognise water safety as a continuous responsibility, particularly those responsible for:
Facilities & estates managers
Compliance and risk managers
Landlords & managing agents
Commercial property portfolios and FM providers
Education settings (schools, colleges, universities)
Care home operators and healthcare estates
Managing Legionella Risk as an Ongoing Process
Every site is different. What matters is not reaching a finish line, but maintaining visibility as systems change.
1. Discovery & Context
We review your buildings, systems, and current control approach to understand where visibility exists, and where it doesn’t.
2. System Setup & Alignment
Legionella Watch is configured to reflect your systems, risk profile, and reporting needs, designed to evolve, not remain static
3. Monitor, Respond, Evidence
You gain continuous insight, alerts, and defensible evidence, supporting informed decisions as conditions change over time.
