For many years it is discussed that whether hydraulic balance tank for hot water production is a healthy system or not. The root of that discussion is about a bacterium called Legionella which could easily proliferate in plastic membranes. In conventional hydraulic balance tanks, there is only single input-draw mechanism so water circulation in the membrane could not be created and it is easier to get proliferation of the bacteria due to exposing low temperatures all the time. The healthy models should be selected from among hydraulic balance tank models. Since, the membrane material and water circulation in membrane are important issues for health environment.
Do balance tanks cause bacteria?
