I would definitely err on the side of caution and go 60°C as a min. Anything up to around 50 is ideal for Legionella spp.. You'd be unfortunate to get legionnellosis though given your age/fitness.

You do have to be careful when trying to fit everything into a confined space.

But if they'd just asked you in the first place, they could have saved themselves all the hassle and bother that it took them in order to do so!

@sailor: that is a very good point and pretty much the main reason I intend to remove the internal lpg boiler and replace it with an electric tank outsuide underneath in the space the diesel heater is mounted at the moment.

I did consider using the diesel heater to run a calorifier but again, lots of messing about fitting it and such. I dont have the confidence or experience to approach it correctly.
