Information

This course is for experienced plumbing and heating operatives. It provides the practical skills required to disinfect cold water systems. This kind of work can only be carried out by competent plumbing operatives.

The course covers the disinfection process, including a practical examination on a purpose-built test rig by which the tutor can illustrate how disinfection should be carried out.
