Hygiene Compared to other materials, copper has hygienic advantages that are especially important in drinking water installations. As experience and recent studies have shown, the formation of legionella and other harmful bacteria caused by unfavourable operating conditions is considerably reduced when copper is a part of the system. Additionally, there are no temperature-related limitations for thermal disinfecting as in other materials. With copper, the normal use of disinfecting agents in water such as chlorine is also possible in the concentrations typical for drinking water, even...
