Offputting water means thirsty cows. Thirsty cows mean less milk produced.

No one likes drinking gross water, so why would your animals? WQI's Biofilm Indication Test (BIT)™ has helped solved a variety of water issues in agricultural plumbing systems and wells, diving into the conditions that can promote unpalatable water, slime growth in waterers, sudden loss of capacity in wells, and microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) of plumbing materials and fixtures. By finding the root cause of these issues, we help you address those problematic conditions to keep poor water quaity at bay. Don't let biofilm be the monster lurking in your farm's water system.

Got slime or offputting water? The BIT™ helps you determine the cause of these problems and how to best address them.

Leaking pipes mean costly repairs.

No one likes to see water outside of pipes, so why wait to see if you have a problem? WQI's Biofilm Indication Test (BIT)™ has helped solved leaking and corrosion issues in plumbing systems, diving into the conditions that can promote microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) of plumbing materials and fixtures. By finding the root cause of corrosion, we help you address those problematic conditions before they cause issues. Don't let biofilm be the monster lurking in your water system.

Got leaking pipes? The BIT™ helps you determine if they are caused by microbial influenced corrosion, chemical corrosion, and our flow monitoring service helps you determine if your pipes are right sized for your demand.

Don't let the fear of a Legionella positive keep you from doing what is right - WQI's biofilm assessments give you insight to the extent of your Legionella (and other waterborne pathogens) risk before you even test your system for the pathogen.

This spooky season, we are highlighting an organism that strikes fear in even the most seasoned of water system operators: Legionella. Whether it is part of an investigation or a positive during routine testing, Legionella presence in a water system costs water system managers time, money, and most importantly, it poses a risk of serious illness. The headache of responding to a positive can sometimes be enough to make management avoid testing altogether, but this fails the system and puts public health on the line.

WQI offers biofilm assessments, both the Biofilm Indication Test (BIT)™ and the Legionella Indication Test (LIT)™ to give you peace of mind. Instead of reacting to a Legionella positive, you can prevent the system conditions and biofilm that supports Legionella and other waterborne pathogens.

The last thing you want to see when getting ice at a hotel is particulate matter, so why would you risk your guests having that experience?

This picture was taken by one of our employees while they were staying at a hotel. Not only does it leave a bad impression, but it also indicates the hotel wasn't properly maintaining their ice machine. ASHRAE Standard 188 notes ice machines as potential areas of Legionella growth and transmission. As such, they must be maintained accordingly. Oftentimes, ice machine maintenance comes in the form of filter maintenance and periodic cleaning, but prevention begins at the source. Minimizing water age and stagnancy in the hotel's plumbing systems, periodic maintenance of any treatment equipment, and monitoring water quality at distal points in the system are just a few activites that help make a robust water management plan and prevent biofilm from overtaking ice machines.

This ice machine could use a WQI biofilmologist. If your ice machines look like this, or you want to prevent this from happening in your ice machines, we are here to help. Whether you want a quick assessment of water conditions at the ice machine or need help with water management for your entire facility, our variety of plumbing system services help identify conditions, problems, and provide actionable solutions.

Can you guess what we are looking at?

That is a softener brine tank. We captured this image during a recent hospital site assessment. Luckily, this brine tank was out of commission, but it goes to show the importance of ensuring decommissioned water system components are disconnected from the water system and properly drained/shut down. It also shows how water age and stagnancy can contribute to excessive biofilm growth.

For the hospital's online brine tank, we recommended periodic cleaning and usage to avoid accumulating biofilm like what is shown in this picture. This helps ensure water quality from the softener is at its best and lowers the risk of biofilm and waterborne pathogens in the softened water systems. Water softener and brine tank maintenance should be included in every water management plan.
