St. Leoner See campsite and recreational facility

Challenge

When designing their new sanitary building, the site owners were looking to ensure energy efficiency, the maintenance of high hygiene standards and improved user comfort. One particular challenge arose from the specific circumstances of sanitary facility use at the site: while parts of the site operate all year round, the remaining facilities are in use only during the summer peak season. Accordingly, the owners needed to find a solution that could ensure drinking water quality was maintained (according to VDI 6023) at all times, even during periods of partial downtime.

Solution

In the end, the owners picked products from SCHELL to ensure modern energy and hygiene standards could be met despite these particular operating conditions, while also offering the highest level of comfort to campsite guests. All wash basin taps and shower fittings are networked with the SCHELL SWS Water Management System, which uses regular, automated stagnation flushes to help the site operators maintain a high level of drinking water quality. One special feature at St. Leoner See is the use of two servers to control the campsite system, since only half of the sanitary facilities are open during the winter months. While one server controls the stagnation flushes in the sanitary facilities that are used all year round, the second server is networked with the wash basin and shower fittings in the sanitary facilities that remain closed during the winter season. On the second server, separate flush and monitoring functions have been set up to avoid any risk of stagnation in the drinking water installation during this downtime. The wash basin taps and shower fittings also feature contactless operation to ensure operation is hygienic, convenient and economical in terms of water use. A temperature lock in the shower fittings also prevents any risk of scalding injuries being suffered by campsite guests young or old.
