Water Temperature Tests for Sentinel Points
by Victoria Gabb, from the Community
Use this monthly template to log hot and cold water temperatures at sentinel points across your site, including outlets closest to and farthest from the source, selected random outlets, mains supply, water tanks, and calorifier flow and return. It guides teams to run water for one minute before testing and to record results for manager review and regulatory inspection. Thresholds are aligned to common practice, with hot water above 50 degrees C and below 60 degrees C, and cold water below 20 degrees C. Ideal for hotels and hospitality facilities, this checklist supports Legionella risk management, compliance, and consistent maintenance records.
