Drinking Water Hygiene in Buildings
Professional solutions for drinking water hygiene in buildings in compliance with the Drinking Water Ordinance. Protection against Legionella, biofilm and germs with UV-C and silver ion technology.
Drinking water hygiene in buildings is one of the most important tasks for operators, property managers and facility managers. The German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV) sets strict requirements for drinking water quality – particularly regarding microbiological contamination such as Legionella, Pseudomonads and coliform bacteria.
WM Aquatec has been offering professional solutions for drinking water hygiene in buildings for over 20 years. Our Legionella prevention systems use state-of-the-art UV-C LED technology and silver ion preservation to keep drinking water permanently germ-free – without aggressive disinfectants and without the high energy costs of thermal disinfection processes.
Compliance with the Drinking Water Ordinance is essential, especially in apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals, care homes and public buildings. Our systems meet all requirements according to DVGW W 551 and VDI 6023 for drinking water hygiene. Automatic documentation supports you during health authority inspections.
Stagnant water is a particular problem: when water stands in pipes for extended periods, Legionella and biofilm can form. Our intelligent hygiene flushing systems automatically detect stagnation and flush per VDI 3810. This keeps your drinking water hygienically safe even during vacancies.
Trust in Made in Germany: WM Aquatec products are fully developed and manufactured in Germany. With over 1 million products sold, we are the leading provider of drinking water hygiene in Germany.
