New building on the grounds of Sportpark Freiburger Turnerschaft 1844 e.V.

The FT-Sportpark is typically very busy, with sporting competitions, kids’ tournaments and a wide range of leisure programmes keeping capacity utilisation high throughout the facility. During training hours and events, the sanitary facilities and drinking water installations are in virtually constant use. Not so during the holidays, however: visitor numbers drop off sharply and fittings are hardly used – which increases the risk of Legionella in the piping. The drinking water installation and its sanitary equipment therefore had to fulfil two key requirements. First of all, operations needed to be energy- and resource-efficient, and user-friendly even at peak times. Second, reliable monitoring and demand-driven management during periods of downtime – such as public holidays or school holidays – were also required.

To ensure they would be able to meet their requirements for hygiene, sustainability and user/operating comfort, the planners and owners decided to install the SWS Water Management System together with electronic shower fittings and wash basin taps. SWS makes it possible to achieve hygienically safe operation of an drinking water installation on a continuous basis at all relevant tapping points. Thanks to a hygiene-compliant water exchange with automated stagnation flushes, SWS helps to maintain drinking water quality even during periods of low usage – and therefore effectively minimizes the risk of high levels of Legionella. The system integrates easily with the planned central building control system, so maintenance work can be planned and completed efficiently and cost-effectively. Options for regular analyses, end-to-end documentation and reports provide an additional level of safety.

Electronic wash basin taps in the CELIS series are equipped with programmable infrared sensor controls. When networked with SWS, these contactless taps support good user hygiene while simultaneously minimising water and energy consumption: water only flows out of the tap when it is truly needed. When users move their hands out of the sensor’s detection range, the flow of water stops automatically.

A total of 63 concealed showers from the LINUS series with COMFORT Flex shower heads were installed in the new building’s shower facilities. The showers are operated by CVD touch electronics. The programmable closing mechanism also stops the flow of water automatically, helping to ensure the responsible handling of water as a precious resource. The integrated ThermoProtect thermostat offers reliable anti-scalding protection with precision temperature control – even if the cold water line fails.

In the WC facilities, MONTUS COMPACT II concealed urinal flush valves were installed, featuring contactless infrared sensor flushing controls from the EDITION E series. The front panel with infrared sensor window is vandal-resistant and therefore the perfect choice for facilities in public-use buildings. The panel is triggered when a hand passes into the detection area.
