A Comprehensive Healthcare Water Safety Program
Unlike traditional equipment-only solutions, AquaGuard MC™ combines intelligent technology with expert services to provide continuous water safety management and long-term program confidence.
Predictable Performance. Predictable Costs.
No upfront capital investment. Predictable monthly costs. Continuous optimization and expert support, all delivered through a fully managed water safety program.
Intelligent Treatment Platform
Industry-leading onsite monochloramine generation combines precision 3000:1 stepper pump dosing, intelligent controls, and continuous treatment verification to maintain more consistent secondary disinfectant residuals.
Continuous Performance Validation
Remote monitoring, routine on-site service, and ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing continuously validate treatment performance and help ensure ongoing protection against waterborne pathogens.
Water-Saving Innovation
Eliminates continuous analyzer water discharge, reducing water consumption, lowering sewer costs, and supporting healthcare sustainability initiatives without compromising treatment performance.
Smarter Treatment Scheduling
Flexible operating schedules align treatment with actual building water demand, maintaining more consistent monochloramine residuals while helping facilities remain below EPA operating thresholds that may otherwise require additional permitting.
Documentation That Defends Your Program
Comprehensive monitoring records, laboratory results, service reports, alarms, and performance documentation help support regulatory compliance, demonstrate program effectiveness, and provide valuable documentation in the event of a waterborne disease investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AquaGuard MC™?
AquaGuard MC™ is a fully managed healthcare water safety program that combines intelligent onsite monochloramine generation, remote monitoring, ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing, routine field service, and continuous performance validation to help reduce Legionella risk and maintain secondary disinfection throughout building water systems.
Why is secondary disinfection important?
Why is monochloramine used for Legionella control?
Monochloramine provides a longer-lasting disinfectant residual than free chlorine and penetrates biofilm more effectively, making it one of the most widely used secondary disinfectants for healthcare facilities and large commercial buildings.
How is AquaGuard MC™ different from other monochloramine systems?
AquaGuard MC™ is also offered as a fully managed service with predictable monthly costs, continuous optimization, and ongoing expert support, eliminating the need for a large upfront capital investment.
