As plumbing flow rates have declined since the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1991, the potential for Legionella growth in building plumbing systems has risen. Engineers must consider this — as well as scald risk and chemical eradication of the bacteria — when designing plumbing systems.

The proper prevention of bacteria growth is achieved by proper system design, system maintenance and added system solutions. However, the effectiveness of these treatments, solutions and processes can vary with the different types of buildings and applications. They can have negative effects if applied incorrectly. Read on for tips on applying these solutions.

Attendees will gain the requisite knowledge, understanding, and competency to serve as a member of a facilities water safety team to help protect against Legionella outbreaks and react to one appropriately should it occur.

The 88^th Texas Legislature this session has reaffirmed support for the Uniform Plumbing Code.

This highly informative 2.5-hour course is specifically designed for facility managers, engineers, and infection control professionals.

Water stagnation in piping because of low or no occupancy offers the perfect breeding ground for Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. For hospitals, it is a critical issue affecting patient health and safety. Read on to discover how regularly flushing lines with water can mitigate the issue.

Plumbing designers and engineers will have the tools and knowledge to mitigate the potential of Legionella growth if they implement the correct actions and abide by relative regulations.

The Legionator significantly reduces the potential for Legionella at the point-of-use using technology developed by Intellihot, including a built-in ozone generator and quartz scale-free heating.

The free webinar will take place on March 29, 2023, at 1 p.m. CST.
