Over time, sediment such as sand, dirt and minerals, scale, rust, and other debris can accumulate in water tanks and within the booster. This can lead to clogged pipes, damaged components and reduce the efficiency of the system, as well as encourage contamination with legionella and other bacteria – a serious issue when people are using and drinking the water.
In addition, metal corrosion, pump failure, faulty valves, damaged seals, deteriorated pipes, and electrical issues can lead to water leaks, reduced water pressure or no water flow at all, and overall malfunctioning of the system.
Regular inspection, cleaning and servicing of the water tank and booster sets are essential to ensure optimal functionality and the supply of safe, clean water to hot water systems including for showers and drinking water.
