Replaced leaky water line in Doncaster East last week.  If you notice rusty colour in your water, get your line checked.  Most galvanised pipes are prone to rust.

Harmful bacteria’s (Legionnaires) and Hot water system.

Solution – Go for Continues Hot Water Systems i.e. no stored water plus gas saving too.

• Some of us turn off their hot water systems when they go on holiday, but an outdoor hot water tank in the sun heat may provide the perfect conditions for the Legionella bacteria to multiply.
• Others reduce the temperature of their hot water systems – means invitation to very harmful bacteria’s too because Legionella can grow in 50% too.
• If you have electric hot water systems (tank), think about switching to gas because studies showed 40% of them were contaminated for obvious reasons.  There is added hazard with using an Electric Storage Tank Hot water systems or heaters
