Cooling towers are the main cause of the spread of legionnaires disease, to help prevent your business from causing injury or possibly death to your staff, contractors or clients ensure you have a regular cooling tower health check along with water treatment and legionnaries tests. 

Legionnaires, in most cases, is spread from a cooling tower via "drift" out through the fan opening, The New Zealand and Australian regulations AS/NZS 3666 state that drift must be no more than 0.002% of the water flow, in simple terms if it is raining outside your cooling tower you are many times above the legal limit of drift.

Many older model cooling towers do not have drift eliminator installed leaving your company in breach of the regulations, Drift Eliminator can be retrofitted to almost any cooling tower. Even newer models may have drift eliminator installed that does not meet the standard or poorly installed, dont get caught out, get your cooling tower checked by industry experts now.

When sourcing drift eliminator ensure it is CTI (Cooling Tower Institute) certified, this is the only way to be sure your installation will comply with AS/NZS 3666.

Regular cleaning of your cooling tower is also advisable, 6 monthly cleans by experts in the field will reduce the risk of Legionnaires in your cooling water system.
