Effect of temperature and pipe material on gene copy numbers of total bacteria (a), L. pneumophila (b), V. vermiformis (c), and Acanthamoeba (d) in SWHs dosed with 700 μg/L AOC in the influent. All microbial numbers are log10-transformed gene copies/mL. SWHs with copper (circle) or PEX (triangle) pipe section were incubated constantly at 32 °C (black) or at increasing temperatures from 32 to 53 °C (red for copper, green for PEX) from day 1 to day 316. Error bars are standard deviations of triplicate SWHs
