Why are these shower heads your taking about not drained? Lol

Are you even a plumber ? Showerheads hold water. So do handheld showers used at every nursing home in America.

The video goes through all of the ways to kill it. Then spends time on the best way. Which is the norm in europe. Thermal mitigation.

Are you taking about shower heads with no tub spout?

 

[JG plumbing]

Put in a drain spout.

Why yes.......yes I am.

 

[Twowaxhack]

Put in a drain spout.

Put your bong down and I will. Later brother, it’s been fun.

 

[JG plumbing]

I actually drain mine every time. Both the hand held and the fixed.

 

[JG plumbing]

I enjoyed it.

Oh one more thing for you to think about.


How much legionella is growing in the cold piping that’s warmed to 75-80 room temp just sitting there.....? How does your hot water treatment mitigate that ? .

Meanwhile, little Johnny just got 3rd degreee burns but everyone is legionella Free !!!!!!

Infrequent use is not good. I would tell anyone turning on something that hadn't been turned on in a while, not to fill up a bucket and throw it into the ceiling fan.

Sounds like your water lines need to be buried a lot deeper. If not for flash freeze weeks. See Texas.

Or use the shower without a respirator in the guest bath ?

Maybe we should install automatic purging faucets with a timer and legionella detectors in every bath ?

Water lines don’t freeze here underground but there are miles of cold water pipe in a 120 degree attics.

I’m surprised we’re not all dead.

If you watch the video you'll learn about the time and legionella relationship.
