Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and method of flushing water contained in a water system of a building to reduce the likelihood of bacterial infection. The apparatus and or method may also prevent water pipes and tanks from freezing and bursting during cold weather. The apparatus or method preferably comprises a flush valve 20 and actuator 22, a drain pipe 21, sensors 24, 25, 26, 28 & 29 and a controller 23 which opens and closes the flushing valve 21 according to signals received from the sensors. The sensors monitor the air and water temperature and if the temperature is such that bacteria may form or the system is about to freeze, it will flush the water system. The length of the flush and the volume of the water flushed can be manually or automatically adjusted or programmed as required to suit the threat. The apparatus and method may also monitor the water for the actual level of harmful Bacteria cells and if need be administer set doses of chemical disinfectants. It may also send alerts by text that the system requires maintenance.
