Good to know
HSE guidance HSG274 expects hot water to reach 50°C or above at the outlet within one minute and cold water to stay below 20°C within two minutes, with monthly checks at sentinel outlets and weekly flushing of little-used outlets, because Legionella multiplies in the 20°C to 45°C range; records should be kept for at least five years.
