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

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.

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

As a facilities manager, you have a legal and professional duty to keep building occupants safe. One of the most important areas of compliance is controlling the risk of Legionella in water systems. This is where ACOP L8  comes in. It is the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Approved Code of Practice for managing Legionella risk, and it should form the backbone of your water safety strategy. This guide explains what ACOP L8 is, why it matters, and what you need to do to s
