Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) play a critical role in maintaining safe water temperatures in educational environments. Regular temperature checking on TMVs in schools is essential to ensure compliance, prevent scalding risks and maintain a safe environment for pupils and staff. At Alliance CFM, we provide professional TMV temperature testing and servicing for schools and educational facilities.
Why TMV Temperature Checks Are Essential
TMVs are designed to blend hot and cold water to deliver water at a safe, controlled temperature at outlets such as wash basins and sinks. In schools, where children are particularly vulnerable to scalding, maintaining accurate and consistent outlet temperatures is a legal and safety priority. Over time, TMVs can drift out of calibration, become blocked with debris, or suffer component wear. Without regular temperature checks, water temperatures may exceed safe limits, increasing the risk of injury and non-compliance with health and safety guidance.
Compliance and Safety in Educational Settings
Schools and academies have a duty of care to ensure water systems are maintained correctly. Routine TMV temperature testing forms part of a broader water hygiene and safety management plan. Regular inspections help demonstrate compliance with safeguarding standards and internal risk assessments. Alliance CFM works with site managers, facilities teams, and trust estates departments to ensure TMVs are tested at recommended intervals and accurately recorded for audit purposes.
Our TMV Temperature Checking Process
Our engineers carry out thorough on-site temperature testing at designated outlets, confirming that water temperatures fall within the required safe range. We inspect the condition of each valve, check strainers and filters and verify that the unit responds correctly to temperature adjustments. Where issues are identified, we can recalibrate, service or replace faulty TMVs to restore safe operation. Detailed records can be provided to support compliance documentation and ongoing maintenance schedules.
