Why Do Water Tanks Need Cleaning?
Water tanks, whether for hot or cold water storage, are susceptible to Legionella bacteria. This is a bacteria that becomes harmful to humans when tiny water droplets containing large amounts of it are breathed in. Chronic lung infections can then develop, the most severe being Legionnaires’ disease, which is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.
Can Anyone Perform Water Tank Cleaning?
A simple cleaning process like descaling outlets can be performed by anyone, but proper cleaning and disinfection services for water tanks are best left to the professionals.
Water system disinfection needs to be carried out in line with the BSI’s document BS8558, which requires specialist knowledge and experience. Part of the document details which disinfection tests need to be performed:
- Total viable counts (TVC) measured at 22 °C
- TVC measured at 37 °C
- Coliform bacteria
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Legionella (species)
- Disinfection residuals (taken concurrently with the microbiological samples)
Guardian Hygiene Services is fully equipped to carry out the above with our full range of accredited Legionella testing services. When you need a job done properly, call in the Legionella people.
Our Water Tank Cleaning & Disinfection: How Does It Work?
We have all the equipment, training, skill, and industry accreditation needed to take out comprehensive cleaning and disinfection works. Whether it’s home water tank cleaning or industrial water tank cleaning, we can help.
For clients that need minimal disruption on site, we provide the premium water tank cleaning solution with the use of stabilised silver hydrogen peroxide. This is a highly powerful chemical that is able to penetrate biofilm and give rigorous disinfection of water storage tanks and piping systems.
We can also perform:
- Mains injection system disinfection
- Hot water system disinfections
- Disinfections on combination water heaters, thermostatic mixer valves and showers
- Water sampling and temperature checking
You’ll get an official disinfection certificate to keep for your records at completion of our services.
When to Get Water Tank Cleaning
If you are unsure whether your water tank needs complete disinfection, your first port of call should be a Legionella risk assessment.
This a physical and administrative review of your entire hot and cold water supply and system. A dedicated technician will come to your premises to conduct water temperature checks with UKAS-approved calibrated thermometers and inspect any areas with the potential for aerosol release. We also review current and past records and consult with all persons in charge of health and safety.
A risk assessment helps to identify whether your water tanks need our cleaning and disinfection services. It will also:
- Identify and assess all sources of risk
- Detail how to manage the identified risks
- Help to implement prevention or control measures for Legionella
- Ensure the correct records are kept
- Help you to carry out any other health and safety duties you may have
We carry out all assessment services to the Government guidelines as set out in ACOP L8 and HSG274. This ensures complete legal compliance and peace of mind for you.
Other Legionella Services
We can help with a range of Legionella and water hygiene services. When you get a Legionella risk assessment, you will be provided with no-obligation quotes for any actions your assessment has determined you need to take.
