Domestic Hot & Cold Water System Disinfections

GMS Services Ltd have been providing clients with water disinfection services for many years. This includes routine cleaning and disinfecting of all hot and cold water systems, along with reactive issues that may arise following out of specification sample results or contamination issues following routine inspections.

Keeping water systems clean is fundamental to the control of waterborne bacteria. Fouling within water systems can provide nutrients and protect bacteria colonies from chemical disinfects. It is therefore essential that where possible, systems are kept clean at all times.

This is essential for drinking water systems fed from storage tanks. Water quality can be compromised if the holding tank becomes contaminated and is not regularly inspected and kept in a clean condition at all times.

GMS Services Ltd can provide full system disinfecting from the incoming cold water supply to all the water outlets within the property. This includes physical cleaning of cold water storage tanks and hot water storage vessels.

We also provide external mains water pipe disinfections to the new build industry, to ensure compliance to mechanical services companies who wish to connect new water services to the existing town mains water supply. This is a requirement by all local water authorities to ensure that back contamination of the existing supply cannot happen.

These situations often raise questions about sampling accuracy, environmental suitability, bacterial competition, and the complex behaviour of microbial communities under stress.
