Long-term measures against legionella
If a contamination of legionella is determined, the drinking water plant must be disinfected and sanified if possible. Information on sanitation can be found in the technical rule DVGW W 551.
If the drinking water plant is freed of legionella contamination, you should focus on preventing new bacteria from forming.

Prevention of legionella infestation
Various measures can prevent contamination by legionella. The technical rule W 551 of DVGW describes the technical measures for preventing legionella growth.
But you should also observe the organizational details: Apartments that are empty for a long time, for example, can lead to the contamination of the entire drinking water system of a building, since the lines have not been used in that time. Stagnant water in unused lines, however, is one of the main causes of the multiplication of germs such as legionella!
A simple and cost-saving measure for keeping your drinking water germ-free is the use of SecoSan.
