"Flushing makes a big impact on the levels of bacteria, including Legionella, in showers, taps, etc. Anything that would help people spot low-use water outlets, and tell them when to flush would be useful."
- Simon Dooner

​
The Product

TapSnap is a low-cost tool that verifies a water outlet has been flushed within guidelines and that all hand washing events are compliant to the 20 sec CDC recommendation. It provides a visual reminder for hand washing compliance. Within restaurants, TapSnap monitors help reduce the risk of waterborne infection, transmission of bacteria and viruses through appropriate hand
washing hygiene per the CDC.

Innovative Design Detects and Monitors Water Flow
The TapSnap monitor is a patent-pending design utilizing a unique vibration sensor combined with a timer and LED light. It’s all packaged into a small enclosure that attaches directly to showers, eyewash stations, and faucets for easy installation, removal or repositioning. The embedded sensor detects vibration caused by water flow through the outlet and starts a timer. The battery-powered monitor acts as both a stagnation and flushing timer alerting users when to flush an outlet and for how long. Stagnation times can be set to 1-week or 1-month.

"Since the monitors have been installed it has reminded staff to flush the lines when the sensor flashes red.......I would like to eventually see these sensors on all eye wash stations and showers."
