Remote Legionella
Monitoring for Estates Teams

Summary

Citritek provide a full range of Legionella monitoring services including remote temperature and usage monitoring, manual monitoring, on site inspections and microbiological testing.

Problem

Traditional Legionella monitoring relies on periodic manual temperature checks, typically monthly or weekly at sentinel points. This creates gaps in data, consumes significant staff time, and provides only a snapshot of conditions at the moment of the visit. Between checks, a system failure, a stuck TMV, or a change in usage pattern could allow temperatures to drift into the danger zone undetected.

Solution

Citritek installs wireless LoRaWAN temperature sensors at sentinel outlets, TMVs, calorifier returns, and other critical control points across your water system. These sensors transmit readings continuously to our secure platform, where automated analytics flag any temperature excursion against your defined thresholds. When a reading falls outside safe parameters, an alert is generated immediately rather than waiting for the next scheduled check.

The platform aggregates this data into dashboards and reports that show system performance over time, helping estates teams identify trends such as seasonal drift, failing plant, or underperforming TMVs. Reports are configurable for weekly or monthly compliance reviews and are designed to satisfy HTM 04-01 and HSG 274 audit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically every 5 to 15 minutes, configurable to your requirements.

Remote monitoring supplements your existing regime. Many clients significantly reduce manual check frequency once continuous data is established, with agreement from their Authorising Engineer.

Typically 3 to 5 years depending on transmission frequency and environment.

No. Monitoring provides the ongoing data that supports and validates your risk assessment. We also offer risk assessments as a separate service.
