It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and maintenance, which may include flushing the tank, inspecting for leaks, and replacing filters if applicable.
Legionella risks
Attic water tanks can create ideal conditions for Legionella to thrive within biofilm niches if proper protective measures aren’t consistently followed. Ensuring microbial safety in your water supply requires regular attention and care.
Routine maintenance and inspection are key to mitigating risks. Proper sealing, insulation, well-fitted lids, and regular plumbing checks help prevent moisture buildup, bacteria growth, and catch mechanical faults early. Adequate ventilation also disperses gases that could pose health risks. By staying diligent, attic water storage can be safely managed in most homes.
