Supplemental Disinfection and Monitoring

Every Facility Is Different. Your Disinfection System Should Be Too.

Watertech of America sells and services all EPA-approved primary disinfectants for potable water systems. That makes us different from most providers in this space. We do not push a single technology because it is what we carry. Instead, we start with a site survey to evaluate your building’s water system, usage patterns, and risk factors, and then recommend the disinfection method that is the right fit for your facility.

Here is a brief overview of the three supplemental disinfection options Watertech offers.

Monochloramine

Monochloramine is a stable, long-lasting disinfectant that provides consistent residual protection throughout large and complex plumbing systems. It is particularly effective in healthcare facilities with extensive piping networks where maintaining disinfectant residual at distant points of use is critical. Monochloramine is generated on-site and fed continuously into the potable water system.

Chlorine

Chlorine injection is a proven and widely used method for supplemental disinfection in potable water systems. It is effective across a range of facility sizes and is often a practical solution for smaller systems or buildings with simpler distribution networks. Chlorine provides strong initial disinfection and a measurable residual throughout the system.

Chlorine Dioxide

Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizing disinfectant that is especially effective against biofilm, which is the slimy buildup inside pipes where bacteria like Legionella thrive. It penetrates biofilm more effectively than other disinfectants and does not produce the same disinfection byproducts as chlorine. Chlorine dioxide is generated on-site and is well suited for facilities dealing with persistent biofilm issues.

VHA Directive 1061 Compliant Water Quality Monitoring

For Veterans Affairs medical centers and other facilities that follow VHA standards, Watertech provides water quality monitoring systems compliant with VHA Directive 1061. These monitoring panels provide continuous water quality data to support your facility’s water safety program and regulatory compliance.

How We Work

Every supplemental disinfection installation begins with a site survey. Our team evaluates your water system to determine which disinfectant will provide the best protection for your specific building. We handle system design, installation, startup, and ongoing service and monitoring.

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all. The right disinfection system depends on your building’s size, water usage, piping layout, water chemistry, and risk profile. That is why we carry all three options and let the scienceguide the recommendation.
