The article describes the evaluation of bacteriological contamination of hot water systems by Legionella in buildings of various types with hot water temperature of 45-54 °C that conducive to proliferation of Legionella; and filtration methods of hot water systems. Methods to prevent Legionella active propagation are described. The data on the monitoring of concentrations of Legionella using filters of different types of hot water systems are presented.
