The information from the Federal Health Office clearly states in this context, as reproduced here without omitting any lines or paragraphs:
In my, albeit lay, legal opinion, single- and two-family houses are therefore definitely exempt from the testing obligation regardless of the size of the storage tank.

The information from the Federal Health Office clearly states in this context, as reproduced here without omitting any lines or paragraphs:
Large systems are all systems with storage drinking water heaters or central flow drinking water heaters, e.g. in residential buildings, hotels, hospitals, and systems with drinking water heaters and a capacity of more than 400 liters or more than 3 liters in a pipe between the outlet of the drinking water heater and the point of use (cf. DVGW worksheet W 551).
Single-family and two-family houses are by definition not subject to the obligation to test for Legionella according to the Drinking Water Ordinance 2001.
In my, albeit lay, legal opinion, single- and two-family houses are therefore definitely exempt from the testing obligation regardless of the size of the storage tank.
