Ensure Safe Water Quality in Plumbing Fixtures

Proactive and Sustained Maintenance

The reopening of buildings and facilities demands heightened efforts to ensure occupant health and safety against COVID-19. Our products and services can assist with building readiness while enhancing the performance of your critical systems. The EPA recommends that building owners and managers take a proactive approach to minimize water stagnation and to maintain building water quality prior to reopening. It is recommended that fountains, bottle fillers, and ice machines be flushed weekly at a minimum. Additionally, if your fixture has a filter and has remained inactive for more than 4 weeks it is strongly recommended to replace the filters prior to opening the fixture up for use.

Ahern provides these services to assist in reopening and maintaining your facility safely:

• Replace water filters throughout entire plumbing system.
• Flush cold and hot water systems at all water points of use: faucets, showers, toilets, water fountains, dishwashers, ice makers, etc.
• Maintain water treatment systems such as water softeners
• Check temperature of hot water systems in accordance with CDC guidance to prevent Legionella growth.
