Little used outlets are one of the most common sources of water quality problems in commercial buildings. When water sits still inside pipework, it rapidly loses disinfectant residual, drops in temperature and begins to stagnate. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria, including organisms such as Legionella pneumophila , to multiply. It also encourages scale, biofilm and sediment build-up, which can eventually compromise both water safety and system performance. For any f

BS 7592:2022 is aimed at commercial water systems - hot and cold-water distribution loops, tanks, calorifiers, cooling towers, spa pools and others where water can be stored, recirculated or aerosolised. It sets out how to take water, sediment or biofilm samples as part of your microbiological monitoring and how such sampling links into your overall water-safety strategy. Why your sampling plan must have a clear rationale One of the key principles of BS 7592:2022 is that Legi

This month marks an exciting moment for everyone at Titan Water as we officially welcome our newest team member , Lloyd Hopkins. This is a significant step forward for us and one that reflects the direction we are moving in as a business. Lloyd has joined Titan Water to lead our new Water Hygiene Division . This is an area of the company that we have been planning carefully for some time, and finding the right person to take it forward was essential. With more than twenty ye

Legionella is a group of water-borne bacteria that thrive in warm, stagnant water systems and can cause a serious lung infection known as Legionnaires’ disease when inhaled as fine droplets. These bacteria occur naturally in lakes and rivers but become hazardous when they multiply in man-made systems where water is stored, circulated, or sprayed into the air. If you’re a facilities manager, you’ll recognise that any building with stored or recirculated water can present a ri

When it comes to water hygiene , there’s no shortage of advice out there - some good, some not so much. Unfortunately, many businesses end up paying for unnecessary services because of long-standing myths or misleading recommendations. So, let’s bust a few of the biggest water hygiene myths and set the record straight. 1. “Your tanks should be cleaned annually” This is one of the most common misconceptions in the industry. In reality, your water tanks don’t need to be clean

Quick-answer: If your stored water isn’t turning over within 24 hours, the tank is likely oversized and at risk of stagnation. Tell-tale signs include visible surface contamination such as scum, biofilm or floating debris, slimy deposits on internal surfaces, discolouration, odour, or repeated microbiological failures. A correctly sized tank should support regular turnover within 24 hours and maintain clean, clear water with no microbiological fouling. Why tank size matters f

Our Ongoing Commitment to Safety and Standards We are proud to announce that Titan Water has successfully renewed our SafeContractor accreditation  for another year. This certification is more than just a badge of honour – it’s an independent recognition that health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. What SafeContractor Means SafeContractor is one of the UK’s leading health and safety accreditation schemes. It provides businesses and their clients with confide

When it comes to water safety and compliance, not all valves serve the same purpose. Two of the most commonly specified devices in plumbing and mechanical services are TMVs (Thermostatic Mixing Valves)  and RPZ valves (Reduced Pressure Zone valves) . While both are critical for protecting end users, they work in very different ways and address very different risks. At Titan Water , we’re often asked: what’s the difference between a TMV and an RPZ valve?  In this article, we’l

🎉 Congratulations to Keagan Melson 🌟 At Titan Water we believe recognition matters. Every single member of the team works hard to keep projects moving smoothly, and taking the time to shine a light on that effort is something we value greatly. Our Star of the Month  award is one of the ways we like to say thank you – a small gesture that carries a big message of appreciation and respect. For September, the recognition goes to our Estimating Manager, Keagan Melson , who was
