Lesson Learned/Best Practice
At time of user move-in, Sunrise Hospital Engineers requested dedicated backflow preventer to the soap dispenser in the EVS room, so the mop sink and faucet only gets turned on when the mop sink is being used. When this was presented to HCA as a change order they asked Layton document as a Lesson Learned so that HCA design and construction could implement as a standard. The Mountain View project was designed before the lesson learned was documented at Sunrise. The attached picture is what was recommended for the MountainView project and was accepted by the Design team and the facility.
Suggested Actions for Future Projects
Make sure that a backflow preventer is added to the soap dispenser in EVS room for future projects.
Actions Taken / Current Status
HCA comment: This practice only applies to facilities that have the soap dispenser in line with the main water system.
