Stagnant outlets flushed (unused basins weekly)
Drinking water supply clean and accessible

Shampoo bowl backflow preventer not installed or not tested
Infrequently used outlets (foot baths, facial steamers) harbour Legionella
Mixer valve temperature not regulated — scalding risk

6. Dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥

Piyo: Poppo, is Legionella really a risk in salons?

🦉

Poppo: Any system with warm stagnant water is a Legionella risk. Shampoo basins that sit unused over weekends, foot spas, facial steamers — these are textbook growth environments. The UK HSE requires a written Legionella risk assessment for all commercial premises with water systems.

🐥

Piyo: What's the simplest prevention?

🦉

Poppo: Flush unused outlets weekly for 2 minutes. Keep hot water above 50°C at the heater, deliver it at 38–43°C at the basin with a thermostatic mixer. Descale showerheads monthly. These three actions eliminate 90% of the risk.

🐮

Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — safe water is so basic it's invisible, which is exactly why salons forget about it.
