A 5-star, 250-room Sukhumvit hotel detected Legionella in cooling towers and central AC: 8 guests contracted Legionnaires' disease, 1 fatality. Hotel closed 3 weeks for cleaning and re-audit. Legionella in hotels and hospitals is a serious global issue. Ozone kills Legionella at 99.99% in 30-60 minutes. WHD is Thailand's only Hospital-Grade ozone service at 10,000 mg/h.
Legionella pneumophila causes Legionnaires' disease — severe pneumonia with 5-30% mortality in high-risk groups (elderly, smokers, immunocompromised). Symptoms: high fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle pain. Incubation 2-10 days.
Spreads via inhaled contaminated aerosols from cooling towers, showers, decorative fountains, cooling systems.
US CDC reports Legionnaires' disease has risen 9-fold over 20 years; outbreaks plague hotels, hospitals, spas, malls.
Cooling-tower chlorine wash requires shutting the entire hotel AC — millions in cost. Legionella biofilm on internal piping resists chlorine. Ozone penetrates biofilm and kills Legionella in cooling towers and HVAC ducting throughout.
