  "description": "The EBS tank allows domestic hot water to be stored. The water is heated either by a boiler which supplies the tank's exchanger (coil) or by an electrical resistor screwed on to the tank. This resistor is sold as an option and is the cause of the hazard. The kits have neither a date code nor a serial number, and it is only their very particular visual appearance which allows them to be identified (grey plastic case with an A/m button and a reset button for the safety thermostat).",
