152 The One Where We Talk More About Legionella
b'
We are in the middle of Legionella Awareness Month. The goal of devoting a month of episodes to 
Legionella is to raise the bar on our water treatment knowledge when it comes to Legionella. On many shows, I ask how you are learning new things. It is effortless to become complacent with our current knowledge and not actively seek more. A day that I don\\u2019t learn something new, I consider a failure.\\xa0\\xa0
Our guest today is\\xa0Greg Rankin, CEO of\\xa0Hydrosense. Greg\\u2019s company has developed a legionella test that reads in 20 minutes. Join us as we not only talk about his test, key facts, and lessons learned about Legionella bacteria.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
