Specialist Water Safety for Healthcare Environments
CEDEK Water Treatment provides critical water treatment services tailored to the unique demands of the UK healthcare sector. In hospitals, clinics, and care homes, water safety is paramount. We partner with NHS Trusts, private hospitals, and care providers to implement robust legionella control programmes and ensure full healthcare water compliance with the strictest standards, including HTM 04-01, to protect vulnerable patients, staff, and visitors. We understand that in healthcare, effective water management is directly linked to patient safety.
Our Healthcare Water Compliance Specific Services
Our comprehensive services are designed to meet the complex challenges of healthcare water systems, from large acute hospitals to community care facilities.
Healthcare Legionella Risk Assessment & Management
Regulatory requirements (ACOP L8) specify that employers and those with responsibility for the control of premises should carry out a risk assessment on all water systems. This is to establish the risk of proliferation of Legionella bacteria.
Cedek Engineers conduct Legionella risk assessments and provide instruction on how to satisfy ACOP L8 requirements.
Cedek’s risk assessment includes identifying and quantify relevant wet systems plus the equipment holding and circulating water, assess the potential for Legionella growth, identify who is at risk, assess the potential for bacteria transfer, quantify and prioritise the risks and determine suitable means of control.
Cedek’s assessments include written reports, photographic supporting evidence, water system schematics and a water assets register.
After analysing the system Cedek will if required suggest a programme of management and monitoring.
Cedek present the findings in a full documentation with recommendations and action to be taken.
Water Sampling for Pathogen Control
Routine, UKAS-accredited water testing is vital. We test for Legionella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other waterborne pathogens in accordance with HTM 04-01 schedules, providing the evidence you need for your compliance audit.
TMV Servicing, Maintenance & Validation
The safe operation of Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) is critical for preventing scalding. Our specialist engineers provide full TMV servicing, maintenance, and validation to ensure they function correctly and safely, protecting your patients.
System Remediation & Disinfection
If a problem is identified, our rapid response team performs system disinfection, tank cleans, and chlorination to quickly restore a safe environment, minimising disruption to clinical services.
