QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q.
How often should the water in the tank be changed?
A.
The time frame for changing the water in the tank will vary depending
on the quality of the water, and the surrounding environmental conditions.
Per ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 the tank shower “shall be visually checked weekly to
determine if flushing fluid needs to be changed or supplemented. Such
inspection shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions”. Furthermore, Speakman suggests that the unit should be tested
at least once a week to check for optimum performance, and document data
to record results for maximum efficiency. Note, after each activation
(including maintenance), the tank should be refilled to ensure it is full and
ready for use. Frequent analysis of the water quality within the unit is
recommended to ensure there is no build-up of harmful bacteria. If you are
using a water treatment supplement such as EndoSan
TM
, please do so in
accordance with all the manufactures recommendations and instructions.

Q.
What is the advantage of a tank-fed safety shower?
A.
• When the need for an emergency shower exists and the company/job
site is in a remote location without access to running water.
• Older facilities where the pipes cannot produce the 20 gpm flow not meet
ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 standard for safety showers.
• Functionality is not dependent on piped water. In the event of a disaster
water supply may be shut off to prevent contamination, which would cause
plumbed fixtures to be inoperable.
