Curious. What do you do for hot water for the rest of your hot taps? How
long have you lived there? How many folk have caught Legionella from their
HW systems in your flats?

Kettle.
No Legionella sufferers here, so far. It's that the management company
sent a document warning of the dangers and stating that it was the
leaseholder's responsibility to ensure that water in the pipes was
above 60C.

If this isn't a hot water system serving the whole block, why should
they care ?.

If it is a copper cylinder in your flat with copper pipes connecting
to the hot taps then the copper is a biocide anyway.

Just make sure it is well lagged and get one of those Smiths
timers that gives it an hour a day to get it up to temp and then
use the hot water for whatever. If you have economy 7 electric,
make sure it comes on during the off peak period.

An electric shower won't help your condensation and mould problem.
