Operational and health challenges

What’s endangering your facility’s residents?

Managing water and energy in assisted-living and nursing facilities requires balancing resident health against high operating costs.

01

Critical health risk — Legionella

Nursing-home residents are in the highest-risk group for severe illness from Legionella bacteria, which multiplies in biofilm in hot-water systems and cooling towers.

✓ With HydroFLOWUp to 99% bacteria reduction including Legionella, per independent validation.
02

Rising water, sewage and energy bills

A full corporate tariff of roughly NIS 13.5–15.6 per cubic metre, combined with limescale in heating boilers, drives up electricity, gas or diesel bills.

✓ With HydroFLOWKeeping boilers and heat exchangers clean — direct energy savings.
03

Accelerated wear in residents’ rooms

Limescale clogs taps and showerheads, reduces water pressure and creates stains requiring aggressive cleaning.

✓ With HydroFLOWLimescale reduction — less wear and lower maintenance costs.

The solution

How does HydroFLOW protect your facility?

Globally patented technology providing full 24/7 protection for the water network, heating systems and cooling towers. The system breaks down biofilm in the pipework and helps reduce Legionella risk, while saving on energy, water and maintenance costs.

Independent lab validation
SGS and ALS

Significant bacteria reduction, including Legionella, following biofilm disruption. The exact result varies by site.

24/7
Continuous protection

A continuous signal across all water and heating systems.

None
Added chemicals

A physical solution, with no additives or contact with the water.

None
Disruption to residents

Quiet, fully external installation, with no pipe cutting.

Installation process

Three steps to an advanced solution.

01

System assessment

Our technical team carries out a full assessment of the water and HVAC systems.

02

Installation

Quiet, external installation, with no pipe cutting and no disruption to residents.

03

Ongoing protection

A continuous signal operating 24 hours a day protects all systems, with the option to connect to the HydroKNCT monitoring system.

A striking figure

Nursing homes: more confirmed Legionella cases than hospitals

80%
of confirmed Legionnaires’ disease cases at US healthcare facilities were traced to nursing and long-term care facilities — versus just 18% to hospitals.

The reason: nursing-home residents live on-site continuously for months or years, while hospital stays typically last only days — the longer exposure window raises real-world risk.

Why it’s different from a hospital

Not “a smaller hospital” — a different kind of risk

Hospital

Short stays, fast patient turnover

Most taps and showers are in relatively frequent use.

Nursing home / assisted living

Long-term residency, months to years

Low-mobility wings develop slow, stagnant flow — exactly the conditions biofilm and Legionella need.

Rehabilitation and treatment

Hydrotherapy pools

Not found in general hospitals

Many assisted-living communities and nursing homes in Israel operate hydrotherapy pools for rehabilitation. Balancing proper disinfection with comfort for sensitive residents makes physical treatment, without adding more chemicals, a meaningful advantage.

Case study — Netherlands

Zorggroep St. Maarten: from 2012, HydroFLOW became a permanent network-wide requirement

Documented case study

17 nursing facilities in the Netherlands, limescale damaging boilers and taps

Started in 2012 as a pilot installation at a single 90-bed facility. Following positive results, it expanded by 2017 to all 17 facilities — and is now a standard requirement in new-build specifications.

FAQ

Your questions answered

Why is Legionella especially dangerous in nursing homes?
Residents of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities are in the highest-risk group for severe illness and death from Legionnaires’ disease. HydroFLOW helps reduce bacteria including Legionella by up to 99%.
Does installation disrupt residents’ routine?
No. Installation is fully external and quiet, with no pipe cutting and no disruption to the facility’s operations.
Does the system also help save money?
Yes. Alongside health protection, the system saves on water, sewage, energy and maintenance costs — typically with a fast return on investment.
