Current law concerning Legionella water temperature testing, as defined in the revised Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) issued by the Government's Health and Safety Executive (HSE),states that it is the responsibility of all employers, who manage premises with hot/cold water systems and/or a wet cooling systems, to prevent Legionella contamination and to prevent or control its spread.
This kit from TPI is designed to help prevent the spread of the Legionnaires type of bacteria. Generally, Legionella bacteria start to multiply in water at temperatures between 20 to 45°C (with the spread increased by the presence of nutrients such as rust, algae, sludge and scale). To control this, water should typically be kept cold below 20°C while hot water should be stored above 60°C and distributed at 50°C.
You can use this kit to test the water in storage as well as test the surface of pipes and tanks in the water system.
This kit come complete with all the great features of the 343 PLUS:

This unit is shipped with a Traceable Calibration Certificate dated on the day of order and showing results against specified points.
The calibration is carried out to National Standards using UKAS Accredited Laboratory Certificated Equipment. This gives the Certificate a traceability route right back to the national laboratory.
Our calibrations on this unit are done using a Julabo Calibration Bath and a UKAS Accredited Laboratory Calibrated Lab Facility Tempmaster Reference Thermometer.
NB Check with your inspector if unsure if a Traceable Certificate meets your business requirements.
This unit can be field calibrated but be aware if this is done then the unit will reset itself and the supplied calibration certificate will be null and void.
