✅ QUICK Detection in water of Legionella pneumophila bacteria (all serogroups), responsible for legionellosis. Reading of the result in only 48 hours instead of 10 days in a microbiological analysis laboratory.
✅ SCIENTIFIC PROTOCOL SIMPLIFIED & REALIZABLE BY EVERYONE Test your own water at home with complete autonomy. Easy reading of the result by staining a strip. Follow carefully the instructions and our online tutorial to obtain a result equivalent to a laboratory test.
✅ LABORATORY QUALITY: Patented technology based on the scientific standards of microbiological analysis laboratories (cultivation method). The protocol encloses the bacteria in a hermetic environment conducive to their development in order to better reveal them. No risk of contamination during handling.
✅ ALL WATERS: Analysis of your domestic hot water system, hot water tanks, solar showers, spas, jacuzzis and whirlpools. Legionellae are bacteria that develop in warm to hot water. They are responsible for legionellosis, a serious pneumopathy, potentially fatal for the most fragile people.

Protect yourself and othersCheck that your water system is not contaminated by coliforms or legionellaOur team of scientists has designed and developed the Water Test range by simplifying the protocol used in the laboratory. All you have to do is to take a water sample and follow the step-by-step procedure indicated on the enclosed leaflet. After 30 minutes of handling on the first day, the sample is incubated for 48 hours.A necessary and incompressible time to reveal the presence or not of pathogenic bacteria.At the end of this wait, 40 minutes of manipulation are still necessary to obtain the result. Like a urine pregnancy test, the Legionella Water Test works with a strip that will show a result:1 red line, the test is negative.2 red lines, the test is positive.If the result is positive, it indicates a concentration of Legionella pneumophila greater than or equal to 10 CFU / mL (Colony Forming Units per milliliter of water) potentially hazardous to health.
 
Water installations to be tested with the Legionella starter pack
 
Drinking water installations (hot and cold)
Legionella thrives particularly in water with a temperature between 25°C and 45°C.
Hot water tanks, showers, faucets and whirlpools are all at risk. However, in the hottest countries, summer temperatures are often higher than 25°C. They make the cold water network just as exposed to rsic as the hot water network. Favored by these good conditions, legionella can multiply to form colonies of several million individuals per liter of water. Once inhaled through splashes or steam, the legionella will nestle in the lungs until they generate an infection.
 
Private spas and Jacuzzis
Spas, whirlpools and other jaccuzzis provide all the right conditions for the growth and development of these bacteria. The whirlpools and the steam they diffuse are particularly conducive to the inhalation of contaminated micro-droplets.
 
Air conditioning and misting systems
Poorly maintained, air conditioning and misting systems can become particularly conducive to the development of legionella. They are then all the more dangerous as the risk of contamination can affect a large number of people at the same time via the propagation of micro-droplets of contaminated water which are then inhaled.
In the case of air conditioners, the water that circulates inside to cool the air is an ideal breeding ground for legionella colonies. In the case of misters not connected to running water, the water that is stored is often not renewed enough. Subjected to the temperature variations of the outside, it becomes very favourable to the growth of legionella which are then diffused directly on the users.
 
Wells, cisterns and water tanks (drinking or irrigation)
Any stagnant water reserve represents a significant risk of bacteriological contamination that should be monitored regularly. Subjected to temperature variations from the outside, the stagnant water of a well or a tank will heat up, then cool down, then heat up again... These variations are favorable to the formation of a biofilm and to the growth of legionella. They can then reach several million individuals per liter of water as soon as the right conditions are met. The contaminated water becomes dangerous for health if it is sprayed or projected (example: watering).
