Facilities Management Innovation for Smart Water Safety

Currently, building or facilities managers are bound to an expensive, inefficient and unreliable manual process in order to comply with the 2002 (COSHH) ACoP L8: Legionnaires’ disease. Temperatures are taken with a handheld thermometer, taps are turned on frequently to avoid the buildup of stagnant water, and the manual reporting of information can be inaccurate and unreliable.

Tap Into What Your Building Is Telling You

An IoT-based Smart Water Management solution gives you and your clients real-time water data, 24/7. Once you know water temperatures in real-time, you know if water is stagnant or moving, and only need to flush when the system tells you it’s necessary. Combine the monitoring platform with our unique wireless flushing valve and now one person can remotely manage hundreds of sites and thousands of outlets from a laptop.

More Than Compliance

From protecting a single building to large-scale facilities management, you benefit from:

• Automated Legionella Compliance and Risk Reduction
  • Continuous outlet temperature monitoring—combined with our unique, remote intelligent flushing capability—allows you to exceed the COSHH health and safety legislation related to control of legionella bacteria in your water systems.
• Increased Sustainability
  • Not only does the technology directly impact resource use through the reduction of unnecessary water flushing and reheating, but manual checks and maintenance are eliminated. As travel reduces, your speed to net zero increases.
• Greater Cost Savings
  • With manual monitoring and compliance of remote sites eliminated, you or your clients can realise significant savings in travel, time and labour.
• Building Health Checks
  • Regular automated reporting can inform the predictive maintenance process, highlighting malfunctioning boilers, issues with pumps, underperforming calorifiers and even recommending improvements to insulation. By replacing manual checking with remote management of 100 of its sites, one client has taken 25 vehicles off the road, reducing C02 levels by c28,000kg every year – a significant contribution to their zero carbon targets and KPIs.
