The problem is the water *IN* the hot water tank that you use in the house. The hot water tank never gets warm enough to kill the legionella bacteria just like in the cooling towers at the hotel where legionella got its name.

See posts # 11 and 29 for two FReepers with experience with heat pump water heaters keeping the water thank at 135F or 140F like we would with a "normal" water tank.
