Our smart auto flushing keeps water moving within your pipes, helping prevent Legionella growth by maintaining disinfectant levels and stable temperatures.
Particularly in the 77–113°F (25–45°C) temperature range. Buildings with low water usage, such as schools, nursing homes, hotels, or offices, are especially vulnerable. Safe, flowing water is critical for keeping this risk under control.
Auto‑flushing moves water regularly, disrupting the ideal conditions Legionella bacteria need to grow. Flushing is a standard preventative action endorsed by guidelines
By replenishing disinfectant in pipes— like chlorine or chloramine—Noah helps maintain a protective water barrier. Studies confirm this method boosts chlorine residuals in plumbing .
Noah’s routine flushing minimizes water temperature fluctuations, preventing water from lingering in the Legionella “growth zone”. Even simple flushing with cold or hot water shows measurable bacterial reductions
Studies—including those from Frontiers in Water and the EPA—back Noah’s flushing strategy for Legionella prevention:
Reduce risk in underused classrooms, drinking fountains, and kitchen areas—especially after breaks or shutdowns.
Prevent Legionnaires’ disease during periods of low occupancy or seasonal downtime. Keep water moving in guest rooms, lobbies, and remote bathrooms.
Protect water in libraries, fire stations, parks facilities, and city offices—where water systems often sit idle on nights/weekends.
Critical settings with immunocompromised populations. Auto-flushing reduces water age in patient rooms, surgical wings, and infrequently used faucets—without burdening staff.
One of the highest-risk Legionella environments, per CDC. Automated flushing supports compliance with CMS and ASHRAE 188 while safeguarding vulnerable residents.
Auto-flushing is widely recommended in Legionella prevention guidance, including from:
Legionella bacteria grow best in warm, stagnant water—particularly between 77°F and 113°F (25–45°C). As the chart shows, water that stays within this range for too long can create ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Keeping water moving and ensuring proper temperature control are key strategies recommended in public guidance.
