Nephros, Inc., a water technology company providing filtration solutions to medical and commercial markets, has expanded its water-safety support capabilities following the ASSE 12080 Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist Certification earned by Brianne McGuire, Director of Business Development. This certification strengthens Nephros' ability to provide consultative support to healthcare facilities and other complex buildings seeking to reduce waterborne pathogen risk and adds specific proficiency in developing effective Water Management Programs.
The new capability represents a meaningful extension of Nephros' field support for customers seeking more robust water safety programs. In addition to point-of-use filtration solutions, product installations and replacements, and public education, Nephros can now provide direct Water Management Program development services. Water Management Programs offer a structured framework for identifying water-quality risks, establishing control measures, assigning responsibility, and defining ongoing monitoring and response protocols. The company believes this offering will create additional value for customers while opening new revenue generation opportunities through chargeable consulting services.
Nephros considers this support expansion differentiated by the depth of practical knowledge informing it. Beyond the ASSE 12080 certification, McGuire brings broad experience in technical concerns, waterborne risk, current guidance and standards, and industry best practices developed through direct engagement with healthcare facilities and other regulated environments. Her leadership of the Nephros Water Institute and other company public education initiatives has further expanded the company's perspective on how complex water safety risks are understood and addressed in practice.
"Water management planning is a natural and important extension of our current customer care and engagement," said Robert Banks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nephros. "We believe this new capability will allow us to engage more deeply in a facility's decision-making process, while offering a service guided by both certified proficiency and comprehensive knowledge of the unique challenges faced by healthcare entities."
The expansion comes at a time when water safety concerns in healthcare facilities have gained increased attention, with regulatory bodies emphasizing comprehensive water management approaches.
