Things to Keep in Mind When Installing Water Pipe System

The water supply and drainage network for any construction is of great significance. It is only fair then that the water pipe supply must be installed with due caution to ensure that there are no hassles in obtaining the necessary water from the main supply and in the outflow or drainage of the water through the water drain pipe. For this, it is important to check that all the necessary aspects are in place. Let us take a look at the various things to keep in mind when installing the water pipe system:

1.Choose the right pipe materials: One of the basics of installing a water pipe system is to choose the right pipes. While metallic pipes, such as cast iron, steel, copper and even brass are the traditional choices, in recent times, PVC water supply pipe has emerged as increasingly popular owing to its manifold advantages. Not the least of these is PVC’s property of being corrosion-resistant, as well being rust free and long lasting.

2.Determine the elevation of the water source: The water supply system’s efficient functioning will also be determined by the elevation of the water source. If the source is at a higher ground level than the destination, the water will flow through the action of gravity and no pressure pumps will be required. However, of the source is at a lower height, pumps will need to be installed to ensure adequate water pressure in the pipes.

3.Duration of water supply: Whether the water supply is continuous (24 hours a day) or intermittent (supply for a fixed number of hours in the ay or week) will also determine the choice of pipes for the water supply system. In the case of continuous supply, the pipes do not rust so easily as the water supply is fresh. However, in case of intermittent water supply, the wetting and drying of the pipes can cause the pipes to rust faster. At the same time, there is greater tendency for leakages in the latter case.

4.Distribution network: The right type of pipes must be chosen for the water supply from the source, as well as in the distribution channels which supply the water to individual faucets and outlets. The angles of the pipes must be such that pressure is maximum when water is emitted from the outlets. At the same time, the installation must facilitate the supply of water to the main storage tank in the building.

The Different Stages Of Operation In A Water Treatment System

Image
 Access to clean and safe water is a basic necessity for the people on the planet. Water from different sources must be first treated to make it fit for use in homes and other buildings. This is accomplished through the installation of water treatment systems. Since the water can be from different sources, it can have different levels of contaminants which will need to be removed or filtered out for the different purposes that the water is to be employed in. The water treatment system has a number of different stages through which the raw water must be processed. These stages are as follows: 1.        Coagulation: The raw water is collected in a reservoir or water tank, after which, coagulation is carried out to remove the majority of the contaminants. Chemicals may be added for this purpose which remove the fine particles by combining them with the heavy particles in the water which settle at the bottom of the tank by the action of gravity. 2. ...

Understanding the Importance of Installing Water Treatment Systems

The water that is supplied to our homes and other buildings can be contaminated along the way by several sources. These include disease-causing microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and amoeba as well as the eggs and larvae of parasites. Harmful toxins and waste products from industrial and agricultural discharge can also find their way into the water, along with chemical and mineral content in the form of fluorides and arsenic which can be harmful to our health. In order to make the water clean and fit for consumption and other domestic activities, it is important to purify it through water treatment systems. This can be done through a variety of procedures which involves installing a treatment system and connecting it to the network of plastic pipe for water supply.

Benefits of Installing Wastewater Management System

Image
Water conservation has become a key agenda for the world today. Given the predicted shortages and the scarcity being faced in many parts of the world at present, saving and recycling water can serve as a measure to ensure everyone gets access to this natural resource. One of the ways this can be done is by the installation of a wastewater management system. A wastewater management system recycles the water disposed off from households, from toilets, rainwater & stormwater runoff, kitchen sinks, etc. and makes it safe for disposal to larger water bodies or for reuse in irrigation of crops. There are several benefits of installing wastewater management systems, which are listed as follows:
