Water tank cleaning & disinfection

The cleaning and disinfection of cold water storage tanks should be conducted in accordance with BS EN 806-5:2012, BS8558:2015, BS PD 855468:2015 and the guidelines issued by the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI).

To determine cleanliness it is recommended that all cold water tanks be visually inspected every six months together with water sampling to determine if cleaning, disinfection, repair or replacement is required. Guidelines issued by the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) concerning water tanks serving drinking water require these to be drained, cleaned and disinfected annually.

Maintaining good water hygiene standards

Maintaining good standards of water hygiene and controlling levels of dangerous waterborne bacteria, including Pseudomonas and Legionella bacteria, which causes the potentially fatal condition Legionnaires’ disease, is an essential component in the successful management of any engineered water system.

Poorly maintained water systems, old and dilapidated pipework, neglected water tanks can lead to significant deterioration in the quality of water standards. Importantly, such conditions can also create ideal environments for the growth and proliferation of dangerous waterborne pathogens such as Legionella. This may significantly increase risks to the health and safety of employees, customers and system users, but it can also have a legal impact on your business as you may be breaking the law, exposing you and your business to potential legal action or civil prosecution.

Water chlorination & disinfection of new & existing water systems

Our teams of highly trained water treatment engineers are experts in performing disinfections of both new and existing water services installations in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 806-5:2012, BS 8558:2015 and BS PD 855468:2015. These standards formulate standards in regards to design, installation, testing, operation, cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of drinking water services inside buildings.

When to clean & disinfect hot & cold water systems

New or existing water services installations should be cleaned, flushed and disinfected under the following circumstances:

  • New or Refurbished hot and cold water Installation
  • New Components or Equipment introduced to existing system
  • When the hot and cold water services have not been used, flushed or the water treatment control measures have been inactive for some time.
  • If significant contamination or stagnation of the water tanks is identified.
  • Parts of the water system have been substantially altered or have undergone maintenance works that may have introduced contamination.
  • Water sampling results indicate excessive microbial contamination.
  • When an outbreak or suspected outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease or legionellosis is linked to the water installation
  • As a recommended remedial action identified in the legionella risk assessment.

Dealing with legionella bacteria & biofilm contamination

Where a water system is known to be contaminated with legionella bacteria or is suspected of harbouring a build-up of biofilm then a more powerful disinfectant may be required to control the risks.

Integrated Compliance use a number of chemical products including chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide or silver stabilised hydrogen peroxide, all of which are proven to be highly effective against difficult biofilm and legionella bacteria.

FAQ’s

What are my duties as a landlord in relation to gas safety?

As a landlord, you are responsible for the safety of your tenants. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with landlords’ duties to make sure gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants are safe.

Appliances, fittings and flues in a communal area but which may be used by tenants are also included. You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues,appliances and pipework provided for your tenants use ;by a Gas Safe registered engineer . Although there is no prescribed timeframe for these duties, good practice would be the demonstration of regular, annual maintenance checks and subsequent repairs.

You are also responsible for ensuring an annual gas safety check is carried out within 12 months of the installation of a new appliance or flue which you provide and annually thereafter by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 you can have the annual gas safety check on each appliance or flue carried out up to 2 months before the date the check needs to be carried out but still retain the original deadline date as if the check had been carried out exactly 12 months after the previous check.
