As summer holidays approach and buildings like schools, universities, colleges and offices begin to wind down or shut their doors temporarily, it’s the perfect time for a friendly reminder: turnover your water tanks regularly!
During periods of low occupancy or inactivity, water in storage tanks can stagnate, creating ideal conditions for bacteria like Legionella to thrive. Left unmonitored, these tanks pose a significant risk to water hygiene and compliance.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Water in storage tanks should be turned over at least every 24 hours.
- Unmonitored tanks are high-risk environments when not in regular use.
- Smart technology is your best ally to keep things flowing safely.
Keraflo are The Industry’s Tank Turnover Champions
You probably already know about Keraflo’s brilliant, delayed action float valves, designed to reduce water levels and promote turnover. But if you need a tank management solution, the Tanktronic system is a real game-changer.
What Tanktronic Can Do for You:
- Monitor temperature, levels, and water movement
- Trigger alarms for high/low levels and high temp directly to your BMS or other systems
- Use ‘Holiday Mode’ to reduce tank capacity during quieter times (even weekends!)
- Automate turnover with controlled draining and timed refills
- Protect against high temps by activating motorised drains and refreshing water when thresholds are breached
Take the guesswork out of tank management, and ensure compliance, efficiency, and most importantly, safety.
