This recognition underscores UC Davis Health’s unwavering commitment to superior water management from 2018 to 2024, collaborating with FixtureCare to accomplish a significant decrease in biofilm, enhancing safety for patients, staff, and visitors.
UC Davis Plumbing Superintendent Angelo Saldana stated, “During a recent inspection, I was able to instantly provide proof of preventive maintenance on our fixtures, thanks to FixtureCare.”
Water Saver Solutions Inc. began collaborating with UC Davis Health in 2018 to help the institution reduce its overall water usage in line with the University of California Office of the President’s sustainability directive.
This partnership led to the adoption of FixtureCare, a cutting-edge solution that optimizes water flow while simultaneously improving infection control measures for faucets and showers.
Key achievements for UC Davis include:

- Ensuring compliance with ASHRAE Standard 188
- Reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and waterborne pathogens
- Enhancing safety for patients, staff, and visitors through a commitment to superior water management.
As a result of these efforts, UC Davis Health has successfully ensured that fixtures are regularly cleaned, decalcified, and flushed, aligning with stringent infection control standards.
Water Saver Solutions, Inc. founder and CEO, Charles Bragdon, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “Our partnership with UC Davis and their Water Management Team is invaluable. It is inspiring to see a top-tier critical care facility so committed to prioritizing patient safety through innovative water management solutions.”
