BEST PRACTICES VIDEO LIBRARY
TIPS TO STRENGTHEN WATER SAFETY, COMPLIANCE & PATIENT PROTECTION
Welcome to our Best Practices Video Library, your on-demand resource for expert guidance on preventive maintenance, fixture cleansing, and continuous antimicrobial protection in healthcare environments. These educational videos are designed to support patient safety in hospitals by demonstrating proven cleaning and disinfection protocols that align with ASHRAE Standard 188 and industry-recognized Legionella control measures. From step-by-step fixture care techniques to water management best practices, each video equips facility teams with actionable insights to improve compliance, reduce risk, and maintain the highest standards of environmental hygiene.
We invite you to check back often, as we regularly expand our library with new best practice videos, training demonstrations, and compliance insights to keep your team informed and up to date.
Understanding the “Splash Zone” in Healthcare Sinks
Understanding the “Splash Zone” in Healthcare Environments
In healthcare settings, sinks play a critical role in infection prevention. But there’s an often-overlooked risk that extends beyond commonly discussed factors like aerators.
It’s called the “Splash Zone.”
As highlighted in the video above, the splash zone refers to the area surrounding a sink where water can disperse, potentially carrying harmful bacteria into the environment.
Finding the Right Flow: Optimizing Faucet Performance in Healthcare
What is the “right flow” in a hospital? In healthcare environments, faucet flow rates impact more than just water usage—they affect infection control, patient safety, and sustainability.
In this video, we share how hospitals can optimize flow rates by upsizing, downsizing, and aligning each fixture with its specific use.
Learn how smarter water management can improve efficiency while maintaining safe and compliant healthcare environments.
Why Water Efficiency in Hospitals Delivers Powerful ROI
How smarter water management helps hospitals reduce costs, improve compliance, and protect patient safety.
The video above explains why Water Saver Solutions is known as the “H2ROI People” and how hospitals can turn water efficiency into measurable financial and operational benefits.
Why Proper Shower Flushing Is Critical in Healthcare Facilities
In healthcare environments, water safety plays a direct role in patient protection. While faucets often receive regular attention, showers are frequently overlooked—despite being one of the most significant potential sources of waterborne pathogens, including Legionella. Proper shower flushing is not optional; it is a critical component of an effective water management program.
An Overlooked Risk in Healthcare Faucets with Threadless Spouts
Many times when there’s a bacterial outbreak in a hospital, your first line of defense is going to be to install point-of-use filters. Point-of-use filters cannot be installed on a spout that has no threads. In hospitals, threadless spouts can introduce an additional risk because if there’s a bacterial outbreak or maybe your CFU’s counts go up on bacteria. A protected spout offers many benefits.
Why Aerators Are Prohibited in Hospitals (and What to Use Instead)
In health care settings, water safety is critical, and the risk of waterborne contamination is something we can’t overlook. Watch our video to learn why aerators pose a risk in healthcare settings and how laminar flow devices help reduce the spread of waterborne bacteria like Legionella. Discover safer, compliant water fixture solutions that protect patients and staff.
Why Faucet Flow Control Matters in Healthcare
When it comes to hospital hygiene and patient safety, every detail matters, right down to the faucet.
This video explains how non-aerating laminar flow devices provide a simple yet powerful upgrade for healthcare facilities. By minimizing splash, preventing backflow contamination, and supporting disinfectant effectiveness, these flow devices help maintain cleaner, safer environments, especially in critical care areas.
