Untangling the Effects of Hydraulic Design on Opportunistic Pathogen Growth Potential with an at-Scale Plumbing Rig.

A building plumbing rig experiment simultaneously examined how water temperature (cold/hot lines), influent disinfectant residual (0-1 mg/L chloramine), flow rate (0.5-2.2 gpm), and water retention time (WRT) of 0-17-days impacted water quality at the point of use.
