Hot water plays a critical role in any hospitality environment. Whether you are washing your hands or washing the surfaces, the temperature of the water used needs to reach 50°C after a minute to make the soap or detergent lathers up properly. This lathering is really important in making sure the bacteria detaches from the surface and is effectively removed.
If an environmental health officer (EHO) inspects your property and finds there is insufficient hot water then there can be 6 figure fines and possible closures.
Don't take any risks on your customer's health and your own reputation.
