Toolbox

Elevated Velocity Flushing at regular intervals has a profound effect on water quality, system health and, crucially, patient safety. The Flushing Kit is a relatively low cost, but invaluable investment for every site. Learn about the many ways in which it boosts water system health.

Although the fine mesh strainer baskets on the Optitherm tap offer a degree of protection for the thermostatic mechanism, it cannot be guaranteed to prevent all ingress and damage by harmful debris, and therefore it is best practice to minimise the risk of particulate damage using it's dedicated Flushing Kits.

Elevated velocity or Cleansing flushing of the water supplies can also be achieved with the Optitherm tap body removed from the spigot. The Flushing Boot fits directly to the spigot and the supplies turned on and off at the ball valves on the underside of the spigot using a hex key.

If employing a maintenance regime that involves the periodic changeover of tap bodies (e.g. removal to the workshop for performance testing, flushing and thermal disinfection), the flushing boot can be used between changeovers to quickly and effectively remove excess biofilm from the internal pipe surfaces and thus improve the quality of water entering the tap.
