Deaths linked to waterborne bacteria in hospitals
The problem can begin in the plant room
Healthcare and aged care facilities typically disinfect their water supply as it comes in from the street, at the point of entry (POE).
We know there is already slime, bacteria and other contaminants living in the pipes so POE disinfection is not always effective.
The only solution is to disinfect water at the point of use – the tap
