Water is universally acknowledged as being vital for life. When it’s readily available, we tend to take water for granted and assume its completely pure, of the highest quality and delivering the maximum benefits to us and our surroundings. In reality that is often not the case. There are however plenty of
water solutions available to make the water you drink and use the very best it can be.
Water solutions in industrial and commercial situations
Any industrial or commercial application that uses water risks operating at less than optimum productivity thanks to the quality of the water.
Hard water – water that is particularly high in mineral particles -can cause all manner of problems including a build up of scale, bacteria and corrosion in piping, cooling towers and condensers. These in turn lead to increased maintenance and replacement costs, higher energy costs and an overall decrease in efficiency. The good news is that the harmful effects of hard water can be easily overcome with the right water conditioner.
Water solutions for the great outdoors
Whether its for watering your vege patch in the back garden, or irrigating an entire farm, vineyard or golf course, the quality of the water is vital to healthy and robust plant growth. The large mineral particles found in hard water means plants struggle to get the moisture they need. The water simply can’t get through the soil to the roots where it’s needed.
Using conditioned water makes the soil more permeable, plus it can hold onto the moisture for longer. By improving permeability, harmful salts that would otherwise have accumulated in the soil around the root zone are flushed well below the roots. Where soil salinity is a problem, a water conditioner can keep salt levels at up to 89% lower.
Water solutions to your taste
Health authorities recommend that we drink at least eight glasses of water a day for maximum wellbeing. If you’re finding the tap water at home hard to swallow it may because of the overpowering chlorine taste and smell. With chlorination offering many health benefits, it has its place in our water, however water conditioners are able to remove 70% of the chlorine taste whilst actually enhancing chlorination protection.
Water solutions around the home
Is your skin a bit itchy or sticky after the shower? Is your hair kind of crispy? Are your clothes looking a little tired and grey after a spin in the washing machine?
Do you end up with ugly spots on the shower screens, in the bathtub, on the bathroom walls, despite ages spent scrubbing?
Is your glassware cloudy and are your spoons spotty?
Even after your best buffing efforts, is the car blotchy?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, hard water could be to blame. An easy hard water solution is to install a water treatment system that becomes part of your pipeline and delivers a continuous supply of quality water to your home.
Water solutions to get you out of hot water
If hot water costs for your home or business are getting you hot under the collar there are water solutions to help. Without treatment, lime scale from water can build up in your hot water element. Just 3 millimetres of scale can increase your hot water bill by as much as 18.5%. Your water heater can be fitted with a sacrificial anode to prevent corrosion of the cylinder. Water solutions like these protect the anode, making your hot water system more effective and likely to last years longer.
Hard water treatment will also increase the life span of your washing machine, dishwasher and air conditioner with less maintenance required along the way.
Swimming pool water solutions
A swimming pool are fabulous. Unless you’re the one who has to maintain it! Adding a water conditioner to the circulation system of your pool is an easy way to transform a murky pool into a super sparkly, crystal clear oasis. Dive in and you’ll also find it feels and smells like spring water. Better still you’ll save around 50% on pool chemicals, and cleaning and maintaining your pool becomes a whole lot easier too.
