Safety Information
2.1 Legionella Warning
Legionella bacteria can be found in natural water sources in low concentrations. At this level it will not pose a
risk to human health, however the nature of domestic hot water storage tanks or boilers may allow the bacteria
to reproduce if the water is left stagnant for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, the frequent use of the hot water tank will protect against the growth of bacteria,
however if the tank will be left unused for a prolonged period, for example, if you are going on holiday, it is highly
recommended to ensure that any boiler controls are set to heat the water to 60°C+ at least once per week to
protect against Legionella.
