Track usage and flushing to eliminate stagnation risk across your estate.
Manual stagnation monitoring is very difficult to verify. It relies completely on human trust, with no physical way to verify if an action actually took place. Technicians may tick every checkbox, but there’s no way of knowing if they flushed the system for a full 2 minutes. Paper logbooks can not measure flow data either. There’s no way to prove that each flush actually moved water through a plumbing line to clear out stagnation.
Manual checking is not suited to the dynamic use of water across a multi-site portfolio either. A weekly manual check will not pick up on a line that suddenly becomes underused. This can create a stagnation issue that isn’t picked up and causes non-compliance for the entire property portfolio. It is an expensive approach too, with manual walkthroughs being time consuming and costly, and over-flushing of lines resulting in water waste.
All of this can lead to serious compliance gaps across a site, with documentation being hard to provide to an inspector, potentially illegible due to water damage, and open to human errors such as misreading a dial. Protection against liability is less than guaranteed.
Drax Technology addresses the risks of manual water stagnation monitoring by moving beyond rigid, unverified paper tracking and replacing it with automated, data-driven flow monitoring. By removing the need for manual checks and replacing them with integrated monitoring sensors, the risk of non-compliance due to human error is completely eliminated.
Water waste is significantly reduced due to the monitoring of everyday building usage. If a tap is naturally used by an occupant or cleaner, the system resets its stagnation timer. The dashboard only flags a warning and issues an alert if a specific line has sat completely dormant for a defined time threshold.
Because our solution continuously tracks flow data across your pipe architecture, it acts as an intelligent early-warning system. It flags changing usage patterns across your portfolio, mapping out areas where water flow is consistently dropping. This allows facilities managers to identify and remove emerging issues before biofilm or bacteria can colonise the pipeline.
Every automated flow event and verified manual intervention is logged into a secure audit trail. Property directors and "Responsible Persons" can pull clean documentation for health inspectors and insurance underwriters instantly, ensuring compliance across the entire portfolio.
A known, evidenced handle on a risk that is often invisible without active monitoring. Low-use outlets in a complex estate are a genuine liability; Drax makes them manageable and documentable.
See which outlets need flushing, confirm it was done, and produce the evidence-without manual tracking or chasing contractors for confirmation. Particularly valuable in buildings with variable or seasonal occupancy.
Targeted action on the outlets that actually warrant attention. No time spent flushing outlets that are in regular use; effort concentrated where risk data points.
