Resist the Urge for an Immediate Shower
After a relaxing holiday, especially in warm weather, hold off on that inviting hot shower. As plumbing experts know, stagnant water in pipes during heatwaves can breed harmful bacteria.
Avoid Aerosolized Risks
Legionella bacteria thrive in warm, still water and pipes. A direct shower spray creates fine mist, potentially dispersing these pathogens into the air you breathe.
Proven Flush Method
Instead, submerge your shower head in a bucket of water. Run the hottest setting for one full minute. This safely scalds and flushes out the bacteria, preventing mist and ensuring your post-holiday shower is hygienic and worry-free.
