KERAFLO LAUNCHES ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO WATER
TANK MANAGEMENT 2026 Keraflo, a specialist manufacturer in the field of water management in commercial and public buildings, has announced the release of the 2026 Edition of its Essential Guide to Water Tank Management. Building on the success of its original ‘Think Tank Guides’, this updated edition provides an essential resource for facilities managers, building maintenance engineers and health and safety specialists navigating the complexities of cold water storage.
The original guide, which set the industry standard for professional good practice, was praised for its accessible and comprehensive advice on everything from temperature control to visual inspections. The 2026 Edition expands on this foundation, addressing critical new challenges such as changing water regulations, heightened scrutiny on water conservation, and the latest advancements in tank management technology.
"These are designed to be accessible, easy-to-digest guides for building owners and managers looking after their cold water storage tank, and that’s certainly the feedback we’ve had so far from people who have downloaded it," says Neil Weston, Sales Manager at Keraflo. "Maintaining a tank is not complicated, but there are safety issues and legal responsibilities attached to owning a tank, all of which are designed to protect building
users. We hope these guides will quickly become essential reading for facilities managers and their teams."
The 2026 Edition has been updated to reflect the current operational environment, placing a strong emphasis on compliance, efficiency, and safety. Key additions include:
Enhanced Focus on Water Savings and Efficiency: With water scarcity becoming a pressing issue, the guide details how to optimise tank capacity to match demand, preventing both stagnation and unnecessary water waste. It highlights the role of intelligent systems, such as Keraflo's Tanktronic, in managing fluctuating occupancy levels to conserve resources.
Navigating Changing Regulations: The compliance landscape is constantly evolving. The new guide provides a clear overview of the latest UK regulations and standards, including the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, HSG 274 Part 2 (Legionella control), and BS 8558. It ensures that building operators are fully equipped to meet their legal obligations and avoid costly penalties.
Advanced Troubleshooting and Maintenance: The updated edition includes a comprehensive
maximum eco
troubleshooting guide for common issues such as warm stored water, overflowing tanks, and imbalanced twin chambers. It also provides clear criteria for deciding whether to repair or replace an existing tank, ensuring long-term system integrity.
Mitigating Legionella Risks: In light of recent public health data showing persistent risks from poorly managed water systems, the guide offers updated best practices for temperature control and preventing stagnation, which are critical in combating Legionella and Pseudomonas.
The Essential Guide to Water Tank Management (2026 Edition) is an indispensable tool for anyone responsible for the safety and efficiency of commercial, industrial, and institutional water systems.
