Comprehensive Water Safety & Risk Management Services

Healthcare facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid are required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement and maintain water management programs that align with American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Standard 188. Hospital water management programs (WMPs) are comprehensive, multidisciplinary strategies essential for reducing the risk of waterborne pathogens like Legionella. These programs identify hazardous conditions, establish control measures such as temperature and disinfectant monitoring, and define corrective actions for building water systems—including potable distribution systems, cooling towers, and ice machines. HD Water Solutions develops, implements, and continuously maintains CMS-compliant WMPs tailored to each facility’s infrastructure and patient population. We conduct detailed risk assessments, create documented and authorized procedures, collaborate with infection prevention and facilities teams, and update programs as renovations or operational changes occur. Our approach ensures programs are active, defensible, and aligned with regulatory expectations while supporting the prevention of healthcare-associated infections.

HD Water Solutions provides comprehensive potable water remediation services for healthcare and commercial facilities experiencing confirmed or suspected contamination from biofilm, Legionella, or other opportunistic waterborne pathogens. When testing identifies microbial amplification within a building water system, our team conducts a structured system assessment to determine the scope of contamination, contributing conditions, and appropriate corrective strategy. We offer both rapid-response remediation—such as system-wide disinfection, hyperchlorination, targeted flushing, and control measure stabilization—and phased, long-term biofilm reduction programs designed to safely and systematically remove embedded microbial growth over time. Our approach prioritizes patient safety, regulatory defensibility, and operational continuity, working closely with facilities management and infection prevention teams to minimize disruption while restoring water system integrity. Having successfully remediated facilities across the United States, we deliver technically sound, documented, and validated remediation solutions that not only resolve active contamination events but also establish sustainable controls to prevent recurrence.

HD Water Solutions provides continuous potable water disinfection using a tankless system designed specifically for high-risk facilities. Our disinfectant is NSF/ANSI 60 certified and EPA regulated, ensuring it meets strict standards for safe use in drinking water systems.
 

This technology provides reliable, ongoing disinfection throughout a facility’s plumbing network, helping control bacteria and reduce conditions that allow waterborne pathogens such as Legionella to develop within piping systems. The system doses disinfectant based on real-time water usage, ensuring the correct amount of product is delivered precisely when needed. By feeding proportionally to system demand, the technology maintains consistent disinfectant residuals while preventing both overfeeding and underfeeding of the system.
 

Unlike traditional liquid chemical systems that require large storage tanks and significant mechanical space, our approach utilizes a tankless delivery system with a significantly smaller equipment footprint. This allows installations to be completed more easily in mechanical rooms where space is limited and eliminates many of the storage and handling challenges associated with liquid chemical systems.
 

In states such as California, healthcare facility construction and equipment installations must often be reviewed under compliance organizations such as the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) seismic safety requirements. Systems that utilize large liquid chemical tanks typically require seismic bracing, anchoring, and additional structural review as part of the approval process. Because HD Water Solutions utilizes a compact tankless system, facilities can often simplify the OSHPD approval process by avoiding the need for large chemical storage tanks and the associated seismic bracing requirements, making installations faster and less complex.
 

The result is a reliable, space-efficient disinfection solution that simplifies installation, supports water management program compliance, and helps healthcare facilities maintain cleaner piping systems while reducing the risk of waterborne pathogens throughout their building water infrastructure.

HD Water Solutions conducts quarterly water quality testing to verify control measures, validate disinfectant performance, and identify emerging risks within facility water systems. Each sampling event follows structured protocols aligned with the facility’s Water Management Program, ensuring consistent and defensible data collection. Following analysis, we deliver a comprehensive water quality report detailing findings, trend data, compliance status, and system performance metrics. These reports are formally incorporated into the facility’s Water Management Program documentation to support regulatory compliance and survey readiness. In addition, our team provides detailed, professional recommendations based on the results—outlining corrective actions, optimization strategies, and preventive adjustments to maintain safe, stable, and pathogen-controlled water systems.

HD Water Solutions partners with engineering firms and facility teams to design and implement emergency water disinfection programs for healthcare and high-risk facilities. We provide continuous disinfection and maintenance of emergency water storage tanks, including potable water tanks and backup systems in hospitals and healthcare facilities. These tanks often rely on recirculating pumps to maintain water quality, and without proper treatment, biofilm and pathogens like Legionella can develop over time. Our team injects a controlled, NSF/ANSI 60–certified disinfectant into these systems, maintaining a consistent residual that keeps water safe, clean, and ready for use in the event of an emergency. By proactively treating and monitoring emergency and storage water, we ensure facilities have reliable, pathogen-free water when it is needed most, supporting patient safety and regulatory compliance without disrupting normal facility operations.

HD Water Solutions partners with accredited third-party laboratories to analyze all water samples collected from our client facilities. By using an independent lab, we ensure unbiased, accurate, and defensible results, providing confidence to facility staff, infection prevention teams, and regulators that our remediation and ongoing disinfection programs are performing effectively. This independent verification is especially important when we are conducting Legionella remediation or continuous treatment, as it allows all stakeholders to see objective data on water quality, biofilm reduction, and pathogen control. Our process includes proper sample collection, secure chain-of-custody handling, and professional reporting from the laboratory, giving facilities a transparent view of system performance and actionable insight to maintain safe, compliant, and pathogen-free water systems.
