⚠️ New York City has just made Legionella testing in cooling towers three times more frequent and the reason why should concern building operators everywhere.

Following a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Central Harlem in 2025, itself the latest in a series of outbreaks stretching back to a major South Bronx cluster in 2015, NYC has passed Local Law 159 of 2025, requiring cooling tower operators to test for Legionella monthly rather than every 90 days, effective 8 May 2026.

This isn't bureaucracy for its own sake. It's a direct response to people getting seriously ill, and in some cases dying, from preventable waterborne infections. Cooling towers create warm, recirculating water systems that are an ideal environment for Legionella growth, and the mist they release can carry bacteria directly into the surrounding air. In a dense urban environment, the exposure risk is significant.

The lesson here isn't just for New York. Wherever cooling towers operate (hotels, hospitals, office blocks, industrial facilities) the risk profile is the same. More frequent testing isn't a burden. It's the difference between catching a problem early and managing an outbreak.

Hydrosense PRO makes that level of testing practical, with on-site results in 25 minutes, no lab required.

Is your cooling tower testing programme keeping pace with the standard that regulators are now demanding?

Cooling towers are part of large air conditioning or refrigeration systems, often located on building rooftops. Cooling towers cool indoor spaces by removing heat from indoor air using water and evaporating it as mist into the outdoor air.

FAQ Friday: Does Hydrosense PRO replace lab culture testing?

Well...not entirely, but it fills some gaps in lab culture testing. Lab culture can miss VBNC Legionella and takes days to return results.
Hydrosense PRO is faster, detects VBNC, gives you answers on the spot, and can check post remediation efficacy in real time. The two work best together.

MILLIONS of people could walk past a contaminated decorative fountain before a traditional lab test even comes back with a result. Especially those in heavy tourist locations. But it only takes one poor sole to inhale Legionella-contaminated aerosols to risk contracting a potentially deadly disease. 💧

Decorative water features in hotels, restaurants, shopping centres, and public squares are a recognised source of Legionnaires' disease, yet unlike cooling towers, they're often the last thing on a water safety checklist.

Warm water, stagnation, and biofilm build-up all create ideal conditions for Legionella to thrive. And by the time a lab result lands, the damage could already be done.

Hydrosense rapid test kits detect Legionella pneumophila sg 1–15 in water AND biofilm in just 25 minutes, giving duty holders the fast, actionable results they need to protect the public.

FAQ Friday: how often should I test for Legionella?

One of our most-asked questions - and the honest answer is: it depends. Legionella testing frequency is driven by your industry, your specific water safety plan and the risk profile of your building or water outlet.

Legionella risk doesn't take a season off, and it isn't limited to one type of building. Hydrosense PRO gives you on-site results in 25 minutes, so frequent testing is practical wherever you are.

Did you know that unoccupied hotel rooms can be a Legionella risk?
When showers and taps aren't used, water sits still, and that's when harmful bacteria can multiply. Before a room is returned to service, flushing and testing should be standard practice.

Hydrosense PRO makes that testing quick and easy.
