Water Management
Because you have patients that are immuno-compromised, waterborne pathogens can be an issue at your healthcare facility. It is estimated by industry experts that 70% of hospitals have waterborne pathogens in their water.
Fortunately, Stericycle can help. Our Stericycle Water Management service uses state-of-the-art stable chlorine dioxide technology to help control these pathogens in your hot and cold water systems.
We employ an expert team who assess your water system and install equipment to dispense and maintain chlorine dioxide levels. Once the system is in place, we regularly test water samples to ensure that your equipment is working and that your facility is meeting regulatory requirements. Plus, we capture and document all your water data in our real-time monitoring system.
And because the program requires only minimal installation, you can maintain a safer water supply safe without making capital investments.
