The efficacy of THPS (TetrakisHydroxymethyl Phosphonium Sulphate) in the control of L. pneumophila and its host organisms is well established. Enhanced performance can however be achieved by formulating the active in combination with novel biopenetrant(s).The new generation formulated of THPS products are highly effective at controlling Legionella in water systems while being low foaming and having a very favorable environmental fate profile.
