Managing water quality in premise plumbing
2021Managing water quality in premise plumbing systems, such as water systems in hotels, apartment buildings, and hospitals, is complex and often requires expenses to protect public health. Opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens (OPPPs) such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium avium, and Legionella pneumophila are responsible for a large number of ...

Evaluation of lead release potential of new premise plumbing materials
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018Premise plumbing materials such as pipes, valves, fittings, and faucets are made of various materials, including plastic, stainless steel, copper, and brass/bronze. Although lead pipe has been banned for its use in drinking water supply by most countries in the 1980s, lead is still commonly used as an additive in many plumbing materials for its ...

Biofouling, 2013
Several bacterial species that are natural inhabitants of potable water distribution system biofilms are opportunistic pathogens important to sensitive patients in healthcare facilities. Waterborne healthcare-associated infections (HAI) may occur during the many uses of potable water in the healthcare environment.

Nitrification in Premise Plumbing: Role of Phosphate, pH and Pipe Corrosion
Environmental Science & Technology, 2008Nitrification in PVC premise plumbing is a weak function of pH over the range 6.5--8.5 and is insensitive to phosphate concentrations 5--1000 ppb. Lead pipe enhanced nitrification relative to PVC, consistent with expectations that nitrifiers could benefit from ammonia recycled from nitrate via lead corrosion. Relatively new copper pipe (< 1.5-years-old)

Probiotic Approach to Pathogen Control in Premise Plumbing Systems? A Review
Environmental Science & Technology, 2013Opportunistic pathogens occurring in premise (i.e., building) plumbing systems, including strains of Legionella, Mycobacterium, Acanthamoeba, and Pseudomonas, are now frequently cited agents of waterborne disease outbreaks. Unlike traditional fecal pathogens, opportunistic pathogens are part of the drinking water microbial ecology and therefore require

Thermal Contamination Modelling in Premise Plumbing Systems
In premise plumbing systems, unexpected and unwanted heat in the cold water may contribute to pathogenic Legionella growth. Temperature changes in premise plumbing are primarily driven by heat transfer between water in system components and the surroundings.Vargas, Kevin +3 more

Pilot‐Scale Analysis of Stagnation and Flushing in Premise Plumbing
AWWA Water ScienceABSTRACT Research has demonstrated that water quality degrades in commercial and institutional (C&I) building premise plumbing leading to increased risk to consumers. This study aimed to bridge the gap between real premise plumbing systems and theory by using a pilot scale pipe rig representative of C&I premise plumbing.
