description

The Legionella proof is necessary in pool water according to DIN 19 643 in case of possible aerosol formation. In lab tests it was proven that the direct spatulation of 1 ml water offers high-grade proof with high correlation of the determined concentration to the actual germ content. With very small germ concentrations, however, preceding filtration of larger sample volumes is necessary. During the investigation of routine samples a Legionella proof was possible thereby in individual cases, whereas direct spatulation remained negative.
