What is this product?

Commercial building plumbing presents water quality risks distinct from residential: Legionella colonization in complex plumbing with dead legs and temperature fluctuations, lead from pre-1986 solder and pre-2014 brass fixtures, and stagnant water during extended vacancy periods (weekends, holidays, COVID shutdowns). Post-COVID: EPA/CDC issued guidance for building water system recommissioning after prolonged shutdown — stagnant water promotes Legionella, biofilm growth, and disinfectant residual decay. ASHRAE 188: Legionella water management plan required for buildings with complex plumbing. LCRR (2024): requires lead testing in schools and some commercial buildings.
