Water Outlet Stagnation and Flush Timing Sensor
The invention is directed to a sensor apparatus for determining when a water outlet needs flushing, comprising a water flow monitoring sensor adapted to be in contact with a source of water flowing through a conduit; a microprocessor in electronic communication with the water flow monitoring sensor, the microprocessor configured to calculate whether the water stagnation time exceeds a predetermined threshold; and indicia for signaling when the water needs flushing by a user, the indicia n electronic communication with the microprocessor. The water flow monitoring sensor may include an accelerometer for detecting water flow vibrations typical of water flow in water conduits. A microprocessor calculates and tracks the total flush time since the prior flush of a drinking water source, thereby monitoring its safety for users of the water source. Indicia for indicating the safety state of the water include readily discernible warning systems or remotely accessible databases monitoring flush times of individual water sources in a network.
