Protecting Patients and Staff with Safer Water Treatment
Eliminate Legionella, biofilm, and waterborne pathogens across your entire hospital water infrastructure — from cooling towers and potable water to surgical suites — with a single, non-toxic solution.
Hospital Water Systems Are Uniquely Vulnerable
Healthcare facilities face water safety challenges unlike any other industry. Complex plumbing networks with miles of piping, warm water temperatures ideal for bacterial growth, dead legs in low-use areas, and a patient population with compromised immune systems create a perfect storm for waterborne pathogen proliferation.
Legionella alone is responsible for a 25% fatality rate among patients who contract Legionnaires’ disease in a healthcare setting — more than double the rate in the general population. Traditional disinfectants like chlorine degrade quickly, struggle to penetrate biofilms, and create harmful byproducts that put patients and staff at further risk.
- Legionella, Pseudomonas, and NTM thrive in warm, stagnant hospital plumbing
- Biofilm in pipes shields pathogens from chlorine-based treatments
- Dead legs and low-use fixtures create stagnation zones for bacterial colonization
- Chlorine dissipates before reaching distant points of use
- Disinfection byproducts (THMs, HAAs) pose additional health risks to vulnerable patients
- Complex multi-chemical programs require constant monitoring and trained personnel
- Regulatory requirements (ASHRAE 188, state Legionella laws) demand rigorous compliance documentation
Continuous, Facility-Wide Pathogen Protection
HydroTreat’s mineral oxychloride technology generates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that provide continuous, system-wide disinfection — from cooling towers and boilers to potable water lines and point-of-use fixtures.
Unlike chlorine, which dissipates rapidly in complex plumbing networks, HydroTreat continuously regenerates ROS throughout the entire distribution system. This means consistent disinfectant residual at every tap, shower, and cooling tower — even in distant wings and low-use areas where traditional treatments fail.
HydroTreat’s unique “Trojan Horse” mechanism penetrates cell membranes disguised as a simple oxygen molecule, then converts to aggressive hydroxyl radicals inside the pathogen — destroying Legionella, Pseudomonas, and other waterborne threats from the inside out.
NSF/ANSI 60 certified for potable water up to 84 mg/L — HydroTreat is safe for patient-contact water systems including drinking water, ice machines, and surgical applications.
Why Hospital Facility Teams Choose HydroTreat
Legionella Elimination
Destroys Legionella pneumophila and other waterborne pathogens at the molecular level — penetrating biofilms where traditional disinfectants cannot reach.
Full-Facility Coverage
Continuous ROS regeneration ensures disinfectant residual reaches every point of use — from ICU showers to remote-wing fixtures and dead legs.
Patient-Safe Chemistry
NSF/ANSI 60 certified for potable water. Produces zero THMs, HAAs, or other harmful byproducts — critical for immunocompromised patients.
Simplified Operations
One product replaces your entire biocide program across cooling towers, potable water, and closed-loop systems. Less training, less chemical storage, less risk.
Regulatory Compliance
Supports ASHRAE 188 water management programs and state-level Legionella requirements. Consistent residuals simplify documentation and audit readiness.
Lower Total Cost
Eliminate multi-chemical programs, reduce emergency remediation events, extend equipment life, and lower energy costs from cleaner heat exchange surfaces.
Environmentally Safe
Non-toxic breakdown products (oxygen and inert mineral compounds). Eliminates discharge liabilities and hazardous chemical storage requirements.
Biofilm Destruction
Penetrates and dismantles protective biofilm matrices — the root cause of persistent contamination that chlorine-based programs cannot address.
Non-Corrosive
Protects copper, steel, and plastic plumbing infrastructure. Reduces corrosion rates and extends the life of critical hospital water system components.
One Chemistry for Every Hospital Water System
Cooling Towers & HVAC
Eliminate Legionella risk, prevent biofilm and scale, and maintain peak heat transfer efficiency across all cooling infrastructure.
Potable Water & Showers
NSF/ANSI 60 certified protection throughout domestic hot and cold water systems — reaching every tap, shower, and ice machine.
Boilers & Steam Systems
Prevent scale and corrosion in boiler systems, extending equipment life and maintaining energy efficiency.
Closed-Loop Systems
Protect closed-loop heating and cooling circuits from biological growth, corrosion, and fouling without complex chemical programs.
New Construction Commissioning
Ensure newly installed piping systems start clean and biofilm-free, establishing protection from day one of operation.
Laundry & Kitchen
Safe, effective water treatment for high-volume hospital laundry operations and food service areas without chlorine residues.
