Solar Usage Now hopes to Change Issues Like Wesley Ridge Retirement Community Experience of Legionnaries Disease Outbreak with Hygienic Tank
(PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- Whether for showering, bathing, cooking or hand washing, hot and fresh water is indispensable. The fact that this water is also hygienic is a prerequisite. Conventional hot water heaters often fail to meet these requirements today. On Thursday, July 18th, the Columbus Dispatch reported that Wesley Ridge Retirement Community experienced tragedy from a Legionnaries disease outbreak that began on July 9th. Two residents of the Retirement Community have died as a result of the outbreak. The Reynoldsburg retirement community has had sixteen cases of the disease confirmed with five people associated with Wesley Ridge being treated in hospitals for their illness. The Retirement Community is taking steps to clean out its water system by super-heating, and adding hyperchlorination to kill the bacteria. The residents are currently drinking bottled waters and showering at a near by YMCA facility (Click here for the full story)
The structure of the SUN Equinox storage tank ensures optimum water hygiene, since the water to be heated is carried in a corrugated stainless steel pipe. Deposits of sludge, rust, sediments and even the generation of the dangerous Legionnaries disease are not possible with this tank.
