Water Hygiene Services offer a Tank Maintenance package to protect refurbished and newly installed water tanks.
What is tank maintenance?
The Approved Code of Practice & Guidance for the Control of Legionella bacteria in water systems requires water storage tanks to be inspected annually. Inspect your water tank correctly and ensure regular maintenance as is a legal necessity. The condition of a water tank has a huge effect on water quality. Poor maintenance of a water tank will encourage bacteria to grow inside the system, such as Legionella.
Legionella Risk Assessment
Water Hygiene Services engineers conduct a legionella risk assessment in order to examine the water tank and identify any issues. This process involves taking a water sample from tank which is sent to the lab to be analysed for bacteria.
