Healthcare facilities face constant challenges in controlling bacteria within their water and drainage systems. While significant attention is given to potable water and Legionella control, drainage systems can also harbour harmful microorganisms that pose a risk to patients and staff.
To address this challenge, Goodwater is pleased to introduce Saniclean Drains, an advanced treatment solution designed to tackle stubborn bacteria in hospital drainage systems.
Why Drain Hygiene Matters in Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and healthcare buildings contain a large number of sinks, basins, showers and drainage points that are used continuously. These environments provide ideal conditions for microbial growth.
Bacteria can accumulate within the U-bend and vertical sections of drain pipework, creating reservoirs where harmful microorganisms can survive and spread. In healthcare environments, this can contribute to the risk of infection, particularly for vulnerable patients with weakened immune systems.
Maintaining hygienic drainage systems is therefore an important part of any comprehensive water hygiene and infection control strategy.
Without effective treatment, biofilms can form within pipework. These biofilms allow bacteria to survive standard cleaning processes and can continue to re-contaminate surfaces over time.
Introducing Saniclean Drains
Saniclean Drains is a specialised treatment developed to remove bacteria and biofilm build-up within sink and drainage systems.
The product uses an all-in-one foaming formulation that is designed to reach deep into drainage systems, targeting bacteria where they typically accumulate.
Unlike surface disinfectants that only treat accessible areas, Saniclean Drains penetrates further into the drainage infrastructure, helping to control microbial growth throughout the system.
The treatment is suitable for use in:
- Hospital sinks and basins.
- Shower and sanitary drainage systems.
- Healthcare wash stations and sluice rooms.
- Utility sinks and drainage outlets.
By reaching the areas where bacteria commonly hide, Saniclean provides a more thorough hygienisation of drains and siphons.
If your hospital is struggling with contaminated drains, feel free to get in touch.
