Why do I need to install a TMV on the Sunshine Coast?
For many businesses and residences on the Sunshine Coast, a TMV is a legal requirement. Under the Plumbing Code of Australia AS/NZS 3500.4:2018 hot water must be stored at a temperature of no less than 60°C in order to prevent legionella bacteria growth within the unit.
However, to prevent scalding, your hot water must be distributed from the system at a temperature of no higher than 50°C. A TMV solves this problem by mixing hot and cold water to limit the temperature before it is used in your shower and taps.
How do TMVs work in Sunshine Coast homes?
TMVs mix hot and cold water so that water at the point of use is kept at a maximum allowed temperature to reduce the risk of scalding. Within the TMV, a thermal element responds to changes in temperature to keep the required mix of hot and cold water.
If the supply of cold water fails, the TMV will automatically stop the flow of water to prevent discharging dangerously hot water. For more information on installing a TMV in your Sunshine Coast home, call us at O’Brien Plumbing Maroochydore on (07) 5493 7330.
