A monitoring arrangement 10 for minimising the risk of the user of a shower contracting legionnaires disease, the arrangement comprising a sensor 12, 40, 48 and a control unit 14, with the sensor 12, 40, 48 being configured to detect usage of a water using installation. The control unit 14 includes a timer to show the amount of time elapsed from when the sensor 12, 40, 48 last detected usage of the installation. The timer is automatically reset when usage of the installation is detected by the sensor 12, 40, 48 within a predetermined amount of time from the last detection of usage of the installation. The monitoring arrangement provides an alarm signal if usage of the installation is not detected by the sensor 12, 40, 48 within the predetermined amount of time to notify a person in the vicinity that the system needs to be activated to flush the system, preventing the incubation of the legionella bacteria within the pipes.
