🚰 Day 4 of 7: What about mixer taps?

One spout doesn’t always mean one temperature to check.

A mixer tap can bring hot and cold water together before it leaves the spout. That reading tells you the temperature of the water coming out at that setting; it may not tell you the temperatures of the separate supplies feeding it.

First, identify the fitting: is a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) fitted? Then check your practice’s monitoring plan for the correct measurement points and method. At a sentinel TMV, the hot and cold inlets may be checked using surface probes.

Save this for the next time your team reviews its water temperature checks. Tomorrow, we’ll look more closely at surface probes. 🌡️

🚰 Day 3 of 7: Separate taps, separate readings

If your monitored sink has a separate hot and cold tap, check each supply individually. Use a suitable probe thermometer in the flowing water and keep it clear of the basin.

❄️ Cold: below 20°C after two minutes
🔥 Hot: above 55°C after one minute, using your practice’s specified target

Record the outlet, which supply you tested, the temperature and timing, and any action needed.

Two taps need two clear results — one “sink temperature” won’t tell the full story.

Save this for your team. Tomorrow, we’ll look at why mixer taps need a different approach.

🚰 Day 2 of 7: Are you testing the right taps?

It’s easy to check the sink that’s closest to hand. But does that reading tell you how the rest of your practice’s water system is performing?

Your monitoring plan should identify its sentinel outlets and show your team exactly where and how to take each reading. Other representative outlets can also be checked on a rotation, according to your risk assessment.

Take a look at your schedule: could someone new to the practice find every named monitoring point without having to guess?

Swipe through for a quick guide, and join us tomorrow for separate hot and cold taps.

How confident are you in managing your practice’s water quality?

Join DeconPete on 19 October, 7.30–8.30pm, for a FREE one-hour online webinar covering the essentials of Legionella and biofilm management.

Understanding how bacteria grow and how biofilm develops can help your dental team manage water systems effectively and reduce the risks in your practice.

During the session, we’ll explore:
- What Legionella is, how it grows and how to control the risks.
- Legionella risk assessments and how often they’re needed.
- What biofilm is, the risks it presents and how to remove and prevent it.
- How to manage your practice’s water effectively.
- Correct hot and cold water testing.

The session contributes to one hour of vCPD and covers GDC learning outcomes C and D.

Can’t join us live? Sign up anyway!

We’ll send you the recording link within 24 hours, so you can watch at a time that suits you.

Your Zoom joining link will be sent 24 hours before the webinar!

💧 Day 1 of 7: Why check water temperatures?

Your hot and cold water readings help show whether your practice’s water safety controls are working as planned. But a number on its own only tells part of the story.

Which outlet was checked? Was it the hot or cold supply? How was the temperature measured, and how long had the water been running?

In this carousel, we look at the readings, timings and records that give your results meaning. A temperature check is not a test for the presence or absence of Legionella.

Save this for your water safety team. Tomorrow, we’re looking at which taps to test. 👀

Spot the errors: dental chair edition 👀🦷

At first glance, this surgery looks ready for the next patient.

But take a closer look at the chair…
Can you find two things that need attention? Tell us what you spot before reading on. 👇

Keep scrolling...⬇️

Keeeep going ⬇️

The answers: There’s a small split in the seat upholstery and rust around the base. Both are worth reporting: damaged surfaces can be harder to clean effectively, and the rust needs assessing rather than being overlooked during routine cleaning.

Did you find both? Let us know in the comments.

Save this for a quick team discussion at your next IPC meeting.

Sometimes, it’s not just about knowing HOW to do something, but understanding WHY we do it! 👏

Our 1-hour IPC training sessions and Lunch & Learns are a fantastic opportunity to refresh your knowledge, revisit the basics and, most importantly, understand the reasons behind the procedures we follow every day.

Because when your team understands the why, the how starts to make so much more sense!

During a recent visit, the lead nurse asked me to arrive a little earlier so we could chat through some challenges the team had been experiencing.

And this is exactly what I love about these sessions! 💗

They’re not just about delivering training or ticking a compliance box. They’re about having open conversations, asking questions, working through real-life challenges and finding practical solutions that actually work in your practice.

IPC training shouldn’t just tell you what to do. It should help you understand why it matters.

💬 When was the last time your team had the opportunity to ask why?
