Hi Everyone,
With respect to DASERVICES comment about LEGIONELLA/ LEGIONAIRES DISEASE.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
Legionella disease thrives in stagnant water, which has a temperature above 20 degrees, it breads excellently at 30 degrees.
Main areas to watch: -
1) When sediment, scale, sludge and biofilms build up in filters.
2) When water temperatures rise above 20 degrees.
Anyone storing their purified water for more than three days in temperatures above 20 degrees is going to cause a major health problem.
Anyone who goes on holiday, should empty their tanks/ move their filters (from vans etc of the system) and store them in a very cool place.
Legionella is spread in aerosols. Waterfed poles produce aerosols and it should be noted aerosols are not restricted to point of contact. Under suitable wind conditions, this can travel up to 500 meters.
Health & Safety will throw the book at you if this disease is proven to be the result of your production and storage of water.
If anyone would like more information on this, please let me know.
Andrew
