Factors Contributing to Chlorine Decay and Microbial Presence in Drinking Water Following Stagnation in Premise Plumbing [PDF]
, 2013 Premise plumbing is the part of the drinking water distribution system closest to the point of use. Since premise plumbing is characterized by a long residence time, elevated temperature, and reduced levels of disinfectant residue, drinking water in ...

Modelling temperature in premise plumbing systems
Journal of HydroinformaticsABSTRACT In this work, our main objective is to introduce, calibrate and validate a temperature model that simulates temperature fluctuations due to radial and axial heat transfer in cold- and hot-water pipes within premise plumbing systems. For this purpose, a laboratory pilot containing six shower installations was used

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality
Water Resources ResearchFlow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks

Linkage Between Characteristics of Premise Plumbing Systems and Microbial Quality of Stagnant Drinking Water [PDF]
, 2013 The length of pipe between the water main and the point of use (POU), known as premise plumbing, has a direct impact on public health. However, relatively little is known about factors that affect the microbial quality in premise plumbing.
