Mechanical Protection in Commercial Buildings (Condos, Office Towers, Schools, Hospitals, etc.)
Watertiger distributes a series of products designed to protect everyday mechanical systems in all commercial and multi-residential buildings. They have been used in office towers, hospitals, condominiums, factories, and much more. Dirt and debris will invariably find its way into any municipal or private water system that can negatively impact mechanical equipment that is designed to operate with clean water. From leaking toilets to failed pump seals, ruptured water mains to fouled PRVs, and degrading heating systems to low flow showerheads that don’t operate as designed, Watertiger’s mechanical protection systems have saved building owners and maintenance staff time and money. Some users have been known to report an overnight 75% reduction in “regular mechanical maintenance” by simply installing an automatic filtration system at the point-of-entry to a building connected to their water main – on city water!
For example:
|
|
Flow meter from a mining site near Williams Lake, BC. The flow meter is clogged with rocks and debris from the water source. Can be prevented with point-of-entry filtration. |
|
|
Point of entry filtration on 8″ domestic water main for a casino/resort in Niagara Falls, ON. (1) Clean section of stainless steel screen (2) Dirt and debris buildup on screen |
| Refridgeration loop in office tower, Burnaby, BC. (1) A small sliver of clean SS screen. (2) Dirt and debris (3) The filter initiating the automatic cleaning cycle and removing the debris from the system (click on the picture to see a video of the cleaning cycle) |
