Biocides are chemicals and compounds designed to kill microbes but their misuse can create more potent and resilient strains of bacteria and mould, creating a long term health risk for us all.
Condensation on pipework should always be prevented wherever possible. Moisture formation can damage the structural fabric of a building, promote mould growth and either cause or greatly accelerate pipe corrosion. In extreme circumstances corrosion attributed to condensation can even shorten the lifespan of a mechanical system.
