KEEPING STORED WATER SAFE
Poorly managed cold-water tanks can compromise safety long before problems are visible. Smarter tank control is becoming central to effective building management, says Richard Braid, Managing Director of Cistermiser and Kerafl o .
Cold-water storage tanks rarely draw attention until something goes wrong. Tucked away in plant rooms, they play a critical role in maintaining water hygiene.
If tanks aren’t managed properly, the risks build quickly: stagnation, bacterial growth, insufficient turnover and unnoticed temperature changes can all create ideal conditions for Legionella to develop. Preventing these issues is essential for occupant safety and system reliability.
