GENTEC SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYS BAC: SOFTWARE-BASED WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Designed to manage commercial facilities, including watertemperature, taps, flushing systems, soap dispensers and water metering and real-time performance Ideally suited for the Healthcare sector Gentec Australia – the leading Australian manufacturer of highquality commercial plumbing products, has recently completed installing Building Automated Controls (BAC) at five major commercial health facilities. BAC is a software-enabled wireless system to monitor and manage Legionella and scalding risks due to fluctuating water temperatures. BAC solutions have been installed recently at prominent healthcare facilities, including Coffs Harbour Health Campus, Blacktown Hospital and New Maitland Hospital. The innovation from Gentec is compatible with existing third-party Building Management Systems (BMS) to deliver a complete suite of services – from real-time visibility, auditing, analysis to storage of water temperature data. BAC also delivers tangible cost savings when compared to hardwired or manual testing requirements as per health guidelines. BAC product highlights: • Cutting-edge wireless connectivity • Temperature measurement taken directly at point of use
• •
Intuitive interface Flexible reporting system • Accurate data capturing • Enables conservation of water • Unified investment cost with no bill shocks, no ongoing BAC control sensor costs and zero upgrades Gentec works with architects and construction teams to design custom-made BAC solutions to fit the needs of any healthcare facility. Gentec’s BAC wireless system ensures savings in labour, hardware, construction costs and on any ongoing fees. Gentec recommends using Gpure range of stainless-steel leadfree tapware in conjunction with BAC for optimal results.

The reliability of titanium elements, protection against overheating and the rotation and redundancy functions make the Carel solution ideal for healthcare facilities in which service continuity is crucial: in fact, maintenance can be carried out on one unit while the other humidifiers in the system continue operating, automatically making up for lost production. The heaterSteam titanium is the response to the need for precise relative humidity control, being able to respond to the humidity request with an accuracy of ± 1%. Modulation of production capacity from 0 to 100% and the possibility to preheat the water inside the cylinder mean heaterSteam is ready to respond promptly to variations in humidity request.
