Mine has a nasty smell for the first minute or so and, if the hose is set to mist, I wonder if there's a risk of something nasty being inhaled. Legionnaires? Just let it run for the first few minutes on full flow, even remove the spray head altogether, so that no spray or mist is produced. I already do that in warm weather. The smell suggests that something isn't right with that first batch of water so I'm not taking any chances. Martin's comments suggest that's a wise course of action Whether it is wise is unclear, but at least it's not actually in the tinfoil hat area. You are reducing a risk that is already negligible by comparison with many others you take. This does NOT apply to people with poor immune systems or otherwise at risk, who are well advised to be cautious. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
