Do a google search on Legionella and then see if you want to clean
your teeth in water that has stood around for some time.




And yet that is exactly what I have got in the bathroom.

To repeat:
the hot water tap is fed by a tank in the roofspace
the cold water tap is fed by a tank in the roofspace

There is no mains water at all in the bathroom.
Neither in the cold tap for the basin nor in the cold tap for the bath.
