Relative levels of L. pneumophila and ecologically relevant microbes in the distal taps. Log L. pneumophila, Legionella spp., and V. vermiformis nested within total bacteria concentrations (gene copies/mL) in the distal taps for each water use frequency for a the baseline sampling (both systems set to 39 °C at 5 months), b exp. 2 (control system set to 39 °C, experimental system set to 51 °C at 13 months), and c exp. 3 (control system set to 39 °C, experimental system set to 58 °C at 15 months)
