Antibacterial Filtration Solutions for Ice Machines
Ice machines on cruise ships and marine vessels operate under conditions that can support microbial growth. Constant moisture, organic buildup, and irregular maintenance contribute to biofilm formation, particularly within internal components such as water lines, drip trays, and storage reservoirs.
Although ice is produced through freezing, internal surfaces often remain warm during idle periods or between cycles, creating an environment where bacteria can survive and multiply. These conditions increase the risk of contamination by waterborne pathogens, including Legionella, NTM, and other opportunistic bacteria.
This poses heightened concerns for passenger and crew wellbeing, particularly for vulnerable individuals such as the elderly or those receiving medical support during voyages.
Recognized in marine hygiene protocols as high-risk fixtures, onboard ice machines require continuous bacterial risk mitigation. Integrating targeted point-of-entry and point-of-use filtration is essential to help prevent colonization, support hygienic ice production, and align with maritime health and safety operations.

Antibacterial Water Protection for HVAC Systems on Marine Vessels
HVAC systems on marine vessels are essential for maintaining air quality, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. However, the use of water in cooling towers, condensate loops, and humidification units introduces increased risk of bacterial contamination, particularly from Legionella and other waterborne bacteria.
Substandard water quality in HVAC components can promote microbial proliferation, biofilm accumulation, corrosion, and impaired system performance. In the confined environments of marine vessels, these risks impact not only operational reliability but also passenger and crew wellbeing, as well as adherence to maritime health protocols.
Integrating targeted antibacterial water treatment solutions is essential to help mitigate these risks.

Antibacterial Water Protection for Marine Hospitality and Onboard Medical Facilities
On cruise ships and marine vessels, certain areas face elevated exposure risks to waterborne bacteria due to intensive water usage and proximity to essential operations. Spaces such as medical centers, crew quarters, and guest suites involve frequent use of showers, sinks, and other fixtures located near both passengers and crew.
These high-priority zones require localized water safety strategies to help reduce microbial risks, particularly from Legionella, NTM, E. coli, Salmonella, and other opportunistic waterborne bacteria.
