When equipment injects a chemical disinfectant in a building, what can be expected from faucets used weekly?

When equipment injects a chemical disinfectant into a plumbing system, the expectation for faucets that are used weekly would generally be lower levels of disinfectant. This occurs because the disinfectant will begin to dilute and dissipate over time as water flows through the system and as it interacts with surfaces within the pipes.

Faucets that are used weekly may not receive a consistent concentration of disinfectant due to this dilution and the variable patterns of water usage throughout the building. Factors like stagnation of water in the pipes, evaporation, and chemical degradation can contribute to the decrease in the concentration of disinfectant available at the point of use, leading to the assumption that levels will be lower when compared to areas that are regularly treated or used more frequently.

In contrast, one might think that higher levels or consistent levels could be expected, but those assumptions do not take into account the natural behavior of the disinfectant in a dynamic plumbing environment. Therefore, anticipating lower levels of disinfectant at faucets used weekly aligns with how plumbing systems typically function over time.
