If upgrades or regulations are coming, they must explicitly address legacy systems. Converting from header tanks to sealed systems is disruptive and costly—but ignoring them leaves millions of homes behind. 🧵4/4 #HousingUpgrades #SealedSystems #Retrofit #UKHomes #WaterSafety

The issues are well-documented: uninsulated tanks freezing in cold snaps, stagnation & bacterial growth (including legionella risk), sediment build-up, & vermin ingress in poorly covered cisterns. Regular inspection & lagging are essential—but often neglected. 🧵3/4 #WaterHygiene #LegionellaRisk

Headlines focus on modern systems—but older housing stock relying on loft header tanks for indirect feed remains widespread. These gravity-fed setups, common in homes built before combi boilers became standard, depend on cold-water storage cisterns sitting in lofts across the country. 🧵2/4

Agree they probably have but only because, you Israeli murderer, your army is the army that's spent the most time solely attacking civilians rather than against an opposing army. So, technically it may be true - but still does not make you an innocent. Genocidal maniacs.
