TESTS, FLUSHING AND DISINFECTION
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Some facilities may require a
conditioning/flushing of water fountains and faucets
that are listed as end point devices by NSF 61,
Section 9. This is to meet possible customer
expectations that these devices produce drinking
water that meets the lead leaching requirements of
NSF 61 immediately upon beneficial occupancy. If
the customer is not willing to allow the end point
devices to "self-condition" after project turn-over,
then the designer should edit the paragraph titled
System Flushing, requiring the Contractor to flush
the drinking water fountains and faucets.
**************************************************************************
