In a new article published in Hotel Executive, Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at T&S Brass and Bronze Works, explores how commercial faucets and fittings used throughout hotel plumbing systems can play a crucial role in preventing Legionella outbreaks and safeguarding guest health.
In the article, Baldwin explains that while hotels often focus on high-profile risk points such as cooling towers and hot tubs, guestroom faucets, bar sinks, and kitchen taps can also contribute to Legionella exposure if not properly designed, maintained, or replaced.
Baldwin notes that modern faucet engineering is reshaping how hotels approach water safety management. Features such as improved flow dynamics, thermostatic mixing valves, and automatic flushing systems help facility teams maintain consistent water temperatures, prevent stagnation, and comply with Legionella prevention standards. These innovations make it easier for hotel engineers and facility managers to build safer, more efficient plumbing systems that protect both guests and staff.
As Baldwin describes, protecting water quality starts with the right equipment. When hotels take time to assess their existing faucets and fittings and upgrade to commercial plumbing solutions built for consistent flow, easy cleaning, and long-term reliability, they take an important step toward safer, more dependable water systems.
