1) Run the cold water outlet at a moderate flow rate (do not fully open) and take the temperature to ensure it is <20OC within two minutes of running the outlet.
2) Run the hot water outlet at a moderate flow rate (do not fully open) and take the temperature to ensure it is at least 55OC within one minute of running the outlet.
3) If the outlet is fitted with a TMV then take :
-
The cold inlet temperature.
-
The hot inlet temperature.
-
The mixed outlet temperature.
4) Record all temperatures achieved. Where temperatures do not comply within the required time then keep the tap running and record the time taken to achieve the temperature (up to a maximum of 5 minutes).
5) Where temperatures do not comply investigate possible reasons why. Record your actions in the ‘ACTIONS TAKEN’ column with trying to resolve the non compliance.
NB – If a hot water outlet is supplied by an electric water heater then record the maximum temperature achieved.
