In a method of reducing bacterial growth in the water mixer (1) and an affiliated so-called consumer conduit (2), the supply conduits (5; 6) for hot and cold water are caused to communicate with one another via a short circuiting conduit (10). Upon termination of a water-consuming occasion, e.g. showering, an impulse is delivered for closing, for instance, the hot water conduit (6) via solenoid valve and therewith flush the mixer and consumer supply conduit with cold water, partly through a standard path and partly via the short circuiting conduit (10) and up to the end of the hot water conduit (6) proximal to the mixer. The flushing process is stopped when it can be certain that the risk of bacterial growth no longer exists, but can be repeated in response to an impulse from a sensor element. Alternatively, flushing with hot water can be effected through the medium of a mirror-image arrangement. Bactericidal substance can be delivered from a container (25) concurrently with the flushing process. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method. |
