Automatic Flushing Valves for Legionella Prevention

Summary

Citritek provide a range of automatic flushing valves that act as a mechanism for preventing stagnation or managing irrigation in water systems for Legionella control, water management and food production.

Problem

Low-use outlets are one of the most common Legionella risk factors in large estates. Ensuite bathrooms in infrequently occupied rooms, seasonal wards, and outlets in remote areas of a building can all see extended periods without flow. Manual flushing programmes are resource-intensive and difficult to verify. Automatic flushing addresses this directly.

Solution

Citritek supplies and installs automatic flushing valves that fit onto existing outlet pipework. Each valve is programmed with a flush schedule appropriate to the outlet, the system design, and the risk assessment. Critically, every flush event is captured by the monitoring platform, providing verifiable evidence that the regime is being maintained. If a valve fails to flush or a blockage prevents flow, the system alerts the estates team immediately.
