Mains inlet filtration for building services protection

Aqua-Tech supply a range of self-cleaning screen filters for mains inlet. By installing filtration at the point of entry to your building, you can take control the quality of your water supply, thereby protecting your hydraulic services and equipment from costly damage.

The Problem

In Australian cities and towns, our water is delivered via a network of many 1000s of kilometres of water supply pipelines. Many of these pipelines are made from either cast iron or steel, materials subject to corrosion. This presents a significant risk to building services as well as industrial and technological equipment that uses tap water.

Local water authorities do their best to filter and purify our water to ensure it meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. But once it leaves their pumping and storage facilities it enters a complex underground network of pipelines that carry it to its final destination. It is during this phase that water can be contaminated with rust and other particulate matter.

So long as water flows remain consistent, rusty pipework may cause little problem. But in the event of major pressure disruption, maintenance work or pipeline breakdown, the interruption in water flow can cause rust and corrosion to dislodge from the pipe walls, causing fine particles to contaminate the water and be carried into our buildings and factories.

The unregulated migration of contaminants into the hydraulic services of our buildings can cause significant problems and result in costly repairs or replacement of equipment.

Our Solution

The quality of our town water supply is mostly an issue that we have no control over. Thankfully, Aqua-Tech’s self-cleaning screen filters give engineers and building managers the ability to take control of the situation. By installing screen filtration at mains inlet, the point of entry, you can effectively prevent contaminants from entering your building hydraulic services.

In taking this proactive step you are safeguarding yourself against the unpleasant surprise of contaminated water supply. Avoid this costly and inconvenient risk; contact us today on 07 3394 6555 to find out how we can assist you with your building services protection.
