CHAIR believes continuous point of use disinfection of dispensed water and drains is key to cost effective transformation of community and healthcare spaces including hospitals and long term care. 

 

Biologically Clean Water

CHAIR recommends a Target Contamination Level (TCL) of <5 CFU / ml in healthcare spaces. 

 

Biologically Clean Sinks & Drains

CHAIR recommends a Target Contamination Level (TCL) of 0.5 CFU / cm² in healthcare spaces.


Point of Use Water or Drain Treatment 

 

Plasma activated water (PAW) is effective at reducing contamination and biofilm at the point of use including mixing valves, faucets, hands, sink bowls, and drains. 

 

Continuous copper ion release is effective at reducing contamination of biofilm in sink drains.
