We replace monthly manual water temperature checks with continuous IoT sensor monitoring — protecting your residents, your staff, and your CQC rating, 24 hours a day.
Why this matters
A contractor visiting your care home once a month takes a temperature reading and leaves. For the next 29 days, you have no idea what is happening in your water system. Legionella bacteria can reach dangerous concentrations within 48 hours in stagnant, warm water. Your residents — elderly, immunocompromised, vulnerable — cannot afford that gap.
Simple and non-disruptive
No Wi-Fi needed. No IT team required. No disruption to residents. We install, configure and manage everything — you get a login and peace of mind.
We visit your site, walk your water system, count the monitoring points and explain exactly what is needed. No charge, no obligation.
We clip wireless sensors onto your pipes at all key monitoring points. Typically 2–3 hours. No drilling, no cables, no disruption to residents.
A small gateway device collects sensor data and transmits it to the cloud via 4G. Completely independent of your broadband — just plugs into a socket.
Your Responsible Person gets a login. Temperatures are monitored every hour. Alerts sent instantly if anything goes out of range. Reports generated on demand.
Complete managed service
We are not just selling sensors. We are your water safety monitoring partner — monitoring your dashboard, responding to alerts, and generating your compliance reports so you do not have to.
Temperature readings every hour from every monitoring point — calorifier, cold water tank, and all sentinel outlets. Not once a month. Every day.
Email to your Responsible Person the moment any temperature falls outside the safe range. Know within minutes, not 28 days.
Monthly and annual compliance logs generated on demand in the format required under ACOP L8 and HSG274. Ready for CQC at any time.
All monitoring data securely stored for the legally required 5-year period. Timestamped, always accessible. The audit trail that protects you.
Your Registered Manager gets their own login to see live temperatures, historical trends, alerts and compliance status — from any device, at any time.
The system uses its own 4G SIM card. Your broadband, IT infrastructure and network settings are completely irrelevant. It just works.
Who we work with
We specialise in the regulated care environment — where vulnerable people depend on your compliance, and CQC expects to see evidence at every inspection.
Our core market. 6–8 monitoring points typical. Full ACOP L8 compliance reports included.
More complex water systems, more monitoring points, higher regulatory scrutiny — we handle all of it.
Ofsted registered settings with a Legionella duty. Smaller systems, straightforward monitoring.
Complex buildings with seasonal shut-down risk. Long pipe runs and multiple sentinel points.
Site-specific pricing
Pricing depends on the number of monitoring points at your site. We calculate this during your free site review and provide a written quote within 24 hours.
A single upfront payment covers all hardware — sensors, gateway, 4G SIM — plus professional installation, commissioning and onboarding. Hardware shall be owned outright by you from day one. No lease, no rental, no lock-in on equipment.
A simple monthly fee covers your dashboard, real-time alerts, compliance reports, 5-year data storage and email support. Collected automatically by Direct Debit — no invoices to chase, no surprises.
The number of monitoring points at your site is the main factor. A standard care home typically has 6–10 points. A larger nursing home may have 10–18. Nurseries are usually 4–6 points.
The cost comparison
Most care homes spend more on manual monitoring than they realise — once contractor visits, report preparation and administration time are added up. Our system delivers continuous 24/7 coverage for a comparable or lower annual cost, and with significantly stronger legal protection. Ask us to run the comparison for your specific site.
