General Guidance

STATIC SYSTEMS
For the purpose of this guidance, any water treatment system used to produce purified water
within any building, whether permanently or temporarily is considered to be a ‘Static’ system.
Not to be understated is the risk of serious damage caused by a water leak from any water
treatment machine operated within the confines of a building. Any person procuring, installing,
operating or having responsibility for such a machine should expect that it may leak at some
time in its life. Any person with responsibility for any building and its contents in which a
‘Static’ system is installed should undertake a ‘Risk Assessment’ and satisfy themselves that
all reasonable precautions have been taken to protect against the inevitability of a water leak.
Precautions could include but are not limited to;
1) The equipment only be installed by qualified plumbers and electricians.
2) The equipment should be installed on a level surface able to support the total load,
ideally positioned on the ground floor level, or otherwise within a suitably designed
‘plant room’.
3) Hard pipe water connections to the mains water supply and drainage system are
made.
4) A water isolator be fitted to the hard piped water supply.
5) Isolating the water supply when not in use.
6) Installing the water treatment machine, holding tanks, transfer pumps and pipe work
within the confines of a suitably designed and installed bunded area with adequate
drainage capability.
7) Offices, storerooms and other vulnerable areas are protected from water ingress.
8) Vulnerable goods and equipment are stored off the ground when kept on the same
floor space.
9) Vulnerable electrics are suitably protected.
Likely Causes of Water Leaks
For guidance purposes the following conditions are likely to cause water leakage. These
include but are not limited to;
1) Poor installation.
2) Frost Damage.
3) Accidental damage.
4) Malicious damage.
5) Blocked breathers.
6) Blocked drainage.
7) Blocked overflows
8) Failed float switches
9) Component failure.
10) Lack of servicing/improper maintenance.
