We consider factors involved in the occurrence and spread of legionellosis infection. The results of a study of legionella contamination of hot water supply systems for typical medical facilities are presented. We consider a method for electrochemical disinfection of a hot water supply system. A schematic is given of a system for implementation of this method.
