Additional file 10: of Effect of heat shock on hot water plumbing microbiota and Legionella pneumophila control

Table S3. Simplified model for estimating proportion of directly impacted water along time. “Remained” is the remaining “original” heat shocked water within water heater and recirculating line. Assumptions include: water heater and recirculating line is a complete mixed system with no (little) change between distal pipe and recirculating line; no microbial death or growth; no interference with biofilm; only considering physical mixing. Recirculating line sampling not accounted for. (XLS 58 kb)
