▪ Record date, time, location and free chlorine level
o If level is not at 0.5 ppm FAC or greater then fixtures should continue to run to drain. Retest every 5 minutes until the free chlorine is above 0.5 ppm as FAC. ▪ Record date, time, location and free chlorine level
• For hot water test (hot water faucets, showers) o
Temperature should be measured as +/- 2 degrees of delivery temperatures set point. ▪
If delivery temperature is 120 F then faucet or shower should measure 118 to 122 F.
o If level is at +/- 2 degrees F of delivery temperature the sink or shower can be shut off. ▪ Only one fixture per “room” needs to be tested for temperature – all fixtures must be flowing ▪ Record date, time, location and temperature. o If temperature is lower than delivery temperature by more than 2 degrees, the fixtures should continue to run to drain. Retest every 5 minutes until the temperature is within 2 degrees of delivery temperature set point. ▪ Record date, time location and temperature.
o NOTE: It is important not to exceed the capacity of the hot water system or temperatures will not meet required delivery temperature.
▪ When all fixtures have been flushed, change filters on drinking fountains and flush fountains as well as any other filters that may be present (ice machines, etc). • These should be done last to minimize flushing of these systems – water that is in the piping will be freshly chlorinated and will minimize flushing times.
▪ Regenerate any water softeners if present.
