Sports baths, Dieburg

SCHELL solutions for digital water management and automated stagnation flushes at all relevant tapping points

The operators of the sports baths in Dieburg chose products from SCHELL for the sanitary fit-out of their new building. Their goals: effective prevention of the spread of Legionella while ensuring hygienic use of facilities for patrons of the sports baths.

Integrated efficiency: stagnation flushes at all tapping points with SWS

Premium product quality and integrated service from a single source: alongside the kitchenette, all sanitary facilities in the Dieburg sports baths – including the male and female changing/shower areas plus two WCs near the foyer – have been fitted out with SCHELL products. The SCHELL SWS Water Management System forms the centrepiece of these sanitary facilities: automated, individually programmable stagnation flushes ensure a complete exchange of water in the piping, even when the building is not being used at all – as is the case during the summer holidays. The stagnation flushes are triggered via SWS. Individual flush times can be set up flexibly with SCHELL SWS and adjusted to day-to-day operations in the swimming baths.

Overall, a total of 11 MONTUS wash basin installation modules and 11 XERIS E-T electronic wash basin taps were installed. A recipient of several design and innovation awards, this tap offers an impressive combination of first-class design, robustness and optimum user comfort. Thanks to its intelligent infrared sensor, the tap also provides a contactless, hygienic flow of water, so as to protect users from the potential transmission of diseases as a result of contact infection. This infrared sensor technology also makes the XERIS E-T resource-friendly and economical, since the flow of water is only triggered when water is actually required and stops automatically when the user takes their hands out of the range of the sensor. A total of 22 matching angle valves with COMFORT regulating function and filter reliably protect the electronically controlled taps from tiny particles of dirt in drinking water. Another premium XERIS E-T feature is its integrated, thermostatic anti-scalding protection. This continues to offer protection to users even during pressure fluctuations in the system or if the cold water line fails.

The showers in the male and female changing areas have been equipped with 29 LINUS D-C-T concealed showers. These are easily operated using CVD-Touch electronics and automatically stop the flow of water after a preconfigured time interval. The innovative ThermoProtect thermostat offers reliable anti-scalding protection while showering. An optimum level of user comfort is also ensured by the COMFORT Flex soft-stream shower heads with anti-limescale burls. These are also especially robust and durable, thanks to their minimalist, vandal-resistant design.

Versatile and high-quality: the mains-powered MONTUS Flow WC module

In the WCs near to the changing rooms and the foyer, 9 MONTUS Flow WC modules were installed and also networked with the SWS server, so as to ensure that regular stagnation flushes could also be run here to maintain drinking water quality. Module installation is particularly straightforward, since no additional hot water line to the WC cistern is required. All of the hot water lines to the showers, wash basins and kitchen can be flushed as required by regulations using SWS and the electronic SCHELL fittings. This avoids an additional input of heat into the pre-wall structure – and therefore the cold water installation. Another advantage: with MONTUS Flow, stagnation flushes drain directly into the drain pipe. This does not fill the cistern, whose fill height conforms to standards at all times. A total of 9 MONTUS KONKAV WC operating panels were also fitted, featuring a convenient dual flush to help reduce water consumption. Two MONTUS urinal modules were also picked out for the male WCs and installed with the help of the MONTUS wall bracket set. The EDITION E urinal control is triggered hygienically and without physical contact using its infrared sensor.

The electronic GRANDIS E kitchen tap from SCHELL was installed in the kitchenette adjoining the seminar room. This tap can be operated manually as a single-lever mixer or with an infrared sensor, as required by the client. Thanks to networking with SCHELL SWS, optimum support for maintaining drinking water quality is also ensured at this outlet.
