Water warmed to 43 - 45°C is a perfect temperature for Legionnaires' disease (Legionella pneumophila) to grow. For example, in cold water the bacteria cannot reproduce but, as the water gets warmer, it can quickly grow to dangerous levels of more than 1000 per ml. Health authorities recommend less than 10 per ml as being achievable and safe.
• warm water systems (43 - 45°C)
• tepid or mixed water used for bathing in hospitals, nursing
 homes, ages hostels and retirement villages.
Models in this series include:
• LC50 WWS for flows up to 50 L/m @ 450 kPa @ 43 - 45 °C
• LC80 WWS for flows up to 80 L/m @ 450 kPa @ 43 - 45°C
• LC110 WWS for flows up to 110 L/m @ 450 kPa @ 43 - 45°C
• LC160 WWS for flows up to 160 L/m @ 450 kPa @ 43 - 45°C
• LC220 WWS for flows up to 220 L/m @ 450 kPa @ 43 - 45°C

Simply install a tried and proven UVTA LC WWS series unit into the warm water loop. The unit is not affected by operating with a 43 - 45°C water temperature and can also operate under static water flow conditions.
Compare this with non-UVTA quartz tube UV systems of yesteryear. The quartz UV system is far less effecient (please view the critical facators) and infact will not work if the water flow is static.
