Hospital Water Monitoring: SCADA & Automation
How SCADA records water temperatures and operating conditions to support a hospital water management program.
Hospital water management teams need records of operating conditions at the control points defined in their plan. SCADA can log hot water loop and return temperatures and alert staff when readings cross configured limits.
We design monitoring and reporting around the water management plan. Sensor records do not establish the absence of Legionella. CDC guidance describes program validation and the role of routine testing.
Where specified by the facility team, we can integrate flushing controls and alarms. Staff retain responsibility for reviewing readings, maintaining equipment, and carrying out the actions in their water management plan.
Key Focus Areas
- Continuous hot water return temperature monitoring
- Flushing controls where the facility specifies them
- Operating records and historical trends
Implementation Checklist
- Audit sensor placement on hot water return loops
- Define alarm thresholds for temperature deviations
- Confirm data logging meets the water management program's record requirements
