Legionella is most active in warm water environments (typically between 20°C and 50°C), with optimal growth in the 35°C to 45°C range. Legionella growth is inhibited or stopped below 20°C or above 50°C. Therefore, whirlpool hot tubs, water towers, and other facilities with warm water temperatures are ideal habitats for Legionella.
