Legionella safety hierarchy: Top = thermal stores. As normal plumbing = heat to base cyls. Low = twin coil cyls. Lowest = twin series cyls.
13 Sep

@NaturalPowerUK @vietecheating Best to heat as much surface and volume as practical to 60C daily to maximise Legionella safety.

13 Sep

Solartwin
@VietecHeating: @Solartwin… it will be at 60 C at the top if set up properly, that is the point . Do YOU set all systems up this way?
13 Sep

Solartwin

@VietecHeating If you have the backup heat on ALL day with a twin coil solar cylinder, energy-wise you might as well almost not have solar.
13 Sep

Solartwin

@VietecHeating Agreed BPEC is not a great course and needs improving. We employ plumbers &engineers. Are you trying to shoot the messenger?
13 Sep

Solartwin

@VietecHeating It is reasonable expect the renewables industry to do what others already do. Time to stop cutting corners to save a few £.
13 Sep

Solartwin

@VietecHeating Actually the top of a solar cylinder is not always at 60C and the base may not reach this temp for months in winter. Be safe.
