If any changes are required to optimise efficiency of your current water treatment system, we will advise you. Here at Lubron we are proud of our disinfection abilities.

HSG274 PART 2 TANK CLEANING GUIDE FAQ HOW MUCH WATER AM I ALLOWED TO STORE IN A COLD WATER STORAGE TANK (CWST)? 24 hours and only 12 hours in healthcare. Here at Lubron we can help with designing suitable tanks including all the installation. We can also upgrade existing tanks saving money over replacement. HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO CLEAN MY COLD WATER STORAGE TANK? An annual inspection of the cold water storage tank should be done to check its condition inside and outside, and the water within it. Figure 2.12 with HSG274 Part 2 demonstrates the condition of cold water storage tanks and when action should be taken. Drinking water tanks require a higher level of control, these need be cleaned and disinfected annually (or more frequently if inspection deems necessary) HOW OFTEN SHOULD I INSPECT MY CWST (COLD WATER STORAGE TANK) An internal inspection for signs of possible contamination and debris should be carried out every 6 months for potable water and every 12 months for non-potable water. DO I HAVE TO TAKE LAB SAMPLES FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL SAMPLING? Microbiological samples should be taken every 6 months for potable water, and only as required by a control scheme for non-potable water. HOW DO I REPAIR A LEAKING COLD WATER STORAGE TANK (CWST) Depending on the size we recommend the tank is professionally painted – these often come with a 10 year leak warranty and work out cheaper than replacement WHAT IS GEL COAT FAILURE Gel coat (glass reinforced plastic) failure resulting in local biological fouling (dark spots). These are almost impossible to remove therefore replacement or relining is recommended. Here at Lubron we offer a free consultancy visit where we can survey the tank and come back to you with suitable LCA (Legionella Control Association) advice. WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD MY CWST (COLD WATER STORAGE TANK) BE STORED AT? The tank along with all cold taps should be kept at below 20°C. At this temperature Legionella will not grow. HOW OFTEN SHOULD A COOLING TOWER BE CLEANED The required frequency and scope of regular cleaning and disinfection operations should be determined by an assessment of the fouling potential. This should be based on inspection and the history of the water treatment control of microbial activity, scaling tendencies and other factors that may result in fouling of the particular system. Towers are typically cleaned every six months or on start up and shut down SERVICES WATER HYGIENE SERVICES INSPECTION OF WATER SYSTEMS WATER SAMPLING AND TESTING LEGIONELLA RISK ASSESSMENTS CONTACT SUPPORT PRIVACY POLICY UNITED KINGDOM Lubron UK Limited 8 Challenge Way, Hythe Hill, Colchester, Essex CO1 2LY T +44 1206 866444 E info@lubron.co.uk www.lubron.co.uk SCOTLAND Lubron Scotland Alba Centre, Alba Campus Rosebank, Livingston EH54 7EG T +44 1506 246190 E info@lubron.co.uk www.lubron.co.uk NETHERLANDS Lubron Waterbehandeling B.V.
