Flow-Splitter for Legionella Control

Engineered Flow Management to Reduce Stagnation & Support Legionella Risk Reduction

The Flow-Splitter is not a chemical treatment or add-on device — it is an engineered improvement to your plumbing design that directly addresses stagnation at its source. The Flow-Splitter is an engineered plumbing solution designed to reduce stagnation in potable hot and cold water systems, which is one of the primary contributing factors to water quality degradation and Legionella growth. Instead of relying on costly, inconsistent manual flushing programs, the Flow-Splitter creates automatic water movement within branch piping whenever downstream demand occurs.

The flow-splitter results in improved circulation, more stable temperatures, and stronger support for your water management program.

Stagnation in Modern Buildings Increases Legionella Risk

In healthcare, hospitality, multi-family, and institutional buildings, the actual plumbing scenarios rarely match the assumptions of the original plumbing design.

Common risk factors include:

• Seldom-used fixtures
• Dead legs and extended branch piping
• Variable occupancy patterns
• Inconsistent “use as intended” water demand

Venturi-Driven Flow Diversion Reduces Legionella Risk

The Flow-Splitter operates using the Venturi principle to create a controlled pressure differential within the distribution main. When water flows downstream, a portion is automatically diverted through connected loop piping. With the flow-splitter this occurs even if fixtures in that loop are not actively in use.

This creates:

• Continuous water movement
• Reduced water age
• Improved disinfectant distribution
• More stable temperature control
• Reduced stagnation risk

Built for High-Risk & Regulated Environments

Ideal facilities for the flow-splitter:

• Hospitals & healthcare facilities
• Long-term care environments
• Hotels & hospitality
• Multi-family residential
• Schools & large commercial buildings

Every building operates differently. The Flow-Splitter allows plumbing systems to adapt to actual occupancy and usage — not theoretical demand.
