Each year in the UK, there are around 200-250 recorded cases of Legionnaire’s Disease and a growing awareness of the need to address MRSA and other cross contamination infections prevalent in healthcare and other public heath sectors.
Recent years have seen the increased use of non-touch electronic basin taps and mixers to address the needs for improved hygiene and water efficiency in commercial applications.
Tempomatic 3 electronic taps and mixers from Douglas Delabie, specialist supplier of thermostatic control solutions and accessories, now incorporate an anti-legionella automatic flush device.
Preventing water stagnation and bacteria development in the supply pipes, the device activates an automatic 45 seconds duty flush cycle, each 24 hours after the last use.
Designed for public and commercial applications, Tempomatic 3 products provide automatic shut off after hands are removed, and with a pre-set flow rate of 5 l/min, enables water savings of up to 80% compared with traditional mixers and taps.
With electronic control, solenoid valve and 6V Lithium batteries all built inside the tap body, these products are easy to install.
