Water Hygiene

Clean and Disinfections

We can provide a wide range of clean and disinfection services for a multitude of different domestic and industrial water systems in accordance with the guidance within HSG274 and HSG282

In accordance with HSG274, there are several conditions under which a water system should be cleaned, flushed and disinfected. When systems show evidence of contamination or stagnation for example, cleaning and disinfection will be required. HSL Compliance will undertake this process in line with BS 8558:2011 using a suitable chemical cleaning agent in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Certain systems (for example shower heads and hoses) have specific guidance on cleaning regimes where as others will be dependent on their condition from their regular inspection regime.
