Legionella compliance,
monitoring and records in one system.
Continuous temperature monitoring, scheduled checks and compliance records in one system, built around your Legionella risk assessment and the HSG274 limits.

How It Works
From your risk assessment to live monitoring.
Start from your risk assessment
We use your written risk assessment to decide which points to monitor and what each limit should be.
Sensors go on the pipework
Small wireless sensors on calorifiers, pipes and tanks. No need to touch your IT network or WiFi.
Set up alerts and tasks
Choose who is alerted, and set the recurring checks and cleaning tasks for each building.
Live, with records
Readings, alerts, tasks and reports in one system.
Monitoring
Continuous temperature logging
- Dips between visits are recordedA drop in temperature between monthly checks is logged and alerted, not found at the next visit.
- Nights and weekends coveredReadings continue outside normal visit times.
- No gaps in the recordEvery point is logged continuously, so the record has no missing periods.
Monitoring points
Every point in one view
- Hot, cold and returnCalorifier flow and return, cold tanks and mains together.
- Limits for each pointSet from your risk assessment.
- AlertsSMS or email to the responsible person, passing on if there is no response. A delay before alerting means short fluctuations do not trigger one.
Tasks
Scheduled tasks and sign-off
- Recurring checksWeekly flushing, quarterly shower head cleaning, monthly checks and annual inspections, set up once.
- Assigned and recordedEach task goes to a named person and is recorded when completed, with date, time and notes.
- Overdue tasks flaggedAnything missed is flagged to the responsible person.
Reporting
Automated compliance reports
- Sent on a scheduleMonthly reports go automatically to the people who need them.
- One recordTemperatures, alerts, tasks and actions together in a single audit record.
- PDF exportFor auditors, insurers and water hygiene contractors.
Where it's used
Any building with hot and cold water and someone responsible for it.
Housing associations & landlords
Communal water systems across multiple blocks.
Care homes
Premises with vulnerable residents.
Schools & colleges
Buildings with periods of low occupancy, such as school holidays.
Hotels & leisure
Rooms and showers that stand unused between guests.
Offices & commercial property
Storage tanks, calorifiers and long pipe runs.
FM & water hygiene companies
Monitoring across multiple client contracts.
Common questions
Answers to common questions from duty holders.
What temperatures should hot and cold water be?
Hot water stored at 60°C or above, reaching 50°C or above at outlets within a minute, and returning to the calorifier at 50°C or above (55°C in healthcare premises). Cold water should be below 20°C.
Who is responsible for Legionella control?
The duty holder: the employer, or whoever controls the premises. For rented homes that is the landlord. They need a competent person to manage the risk, with the time and authority to act.
Can sensors replace manual checks?
Not on their own. Your risk assessment and written scheme set out which checks are needed and whether any can be done remotely. Sensors add continuous records between visits. Flushing, shower head cleaning and water sampling still need someone on site.
How long must records be kept?
HSE guidance says records of monitoring, inspections, tests and checks should be kept for at least five years. Readings are stored so you can export them for audits.
Do I need a risk assessment first?
Yes. It decides which points are monitored and what each limit should be, so it comes first. We work from your existing assessment.
What monitoring does and doesn't do
It adds continuous temperature records to the checks you already carry out. Your risk assessment and written scheme decide which checks it can support, and a sensor on a pipe is not the same as running a tap for a minute. It doesn't replace your risk assessment, water sampling or flushing.
