WARNING

Legionella Control:

Legionella  bacteria  can  be  found  naturally  in  the 

environment  and  thrives  in  warm  water  and  damp 

places. It can weaken the body’s immune system, which 

can increase the chances of developing Legionnaires’ 

disease.  To  ensure  legionella  growth  is  inhibited,  the 

boosting  regime  must  meet  the  guidelines  as  shown 

in  Chapter  8:  Auxiliary  Heating.  This  is  in  accordance 

with  ‘AS3498.2009  Authorisation  requirements  for 

plumbing products - water heater and hot-water storage 

tanks’ It is therefore, very important that the auxiliary 

boosting system remains on. It will only activate if the 

temperature falls below the temperatures outlined.

 

EHW TANK

Hydrogen Build Up:

Glass  lined  (vitreous  enamel)  tanks  are  fitted  with  a 

Magnesium  anode  to  provide  corrosion  protection 

for  the  tank  from  the  storage  water.  Small  quantities 

of hydrogen gas can be released by the anode, which 

generally  remains  dissolved  in  the  water  and  flushed 

away as hot water is used from the tank. Depending on 

the water quality there may be a degree of hydrogen 

build-up  in  the  tank  if  the  water  heater  hasn’t  been 

used for two or more weeks.

To  resolve  the  build-up  of  hydrogen  within  the  tank 

“purge”  the  tank  for  approximately  30  seconds  from 

the lever on the PTRV.

Ensure there are no open flames or ignition sources 

close to the tank.
