Water management technology
Protect your building’s hydraulic system with energy efficient water pumps and treatment products
There is no reason to live with poor water pressure or
potentially dangerous hard water, which can corrode hydraulic systems,
resulting in costly leaks, rotting faucets/appliances and permanent
pipe damage. A variety of water treatment options, from leading companies including Lowara, Calmag and Anavalos, are available to
ensure that your water flows strongly, evenly and healthfully
throughout your building.
Water pressure pumps
Installing an energy efficient water pressure pump in your main residence, hotel or commercial building will provide you with many years of strong and even water pressure with little to no maintenance.
We offer water pressure pumps in hard-wearing 304 or 316 Grade INOX, which are resistant to corrosion and can withstand the hard water of Greece. In addition to long lasting materials, our water pressure pumps also feature PLM high efficiency motors. These efficiency class 1 motors ensure that while the pump is in use, it burns much less electricity to generate the same output as other comparable models on the market.
To achieve an even greater level of energy conservation, we strongly recommend that our clients add an inverter unit to a new or existing water pressure pump. An inverter is essential because regulates the pump’s energy consumption by acting as a speed control for the pump’s motor—it reads the pressure required by your hydraulic system and adjusts the motor’s output. In other words, your pump’s motor is only utilizing the minimum amount of electricity it needs to maintain constant water pressure, thereby conserving energy. This also means less unnecessary wear and tear on the pump and a significant increase in the life expectancy of the motor (upwards of ten years), as well as the pump as a whole.
Water filtration systems
Installing a water filtration system in your building will provide clean, safe and drinkable water right from the faucet. Treating your water also means less wear and tear on your pipes and appliances, helping to ensure the health and wellbeing of your building for years to come.
We carry a variety of water treatment options for every application and budget. Each of the methods outlined below can be used independently to achieve various levels of water purity, or built upon to be used in conjunction with each other, depending on your filtration needs.
- Chlorination. Chlorination, the first step in water purification, is the process of adding chlorine to water. Water that has been treated with chlorine is effective in preventing the spread of waterborne diseases because it kills bacteria and oxidizes any heavy metals found in the water (such as iron). This process takes place in the water reservoir.
- De-chlorination. Typically used as a second step in purification, the de-chlorination process takes place at the building’s water main and removes unwanted amounts of chlorine from the water. This treatment helps limit pipe corrosion and protects filters and membranes.
- Media filtration. Media filtration, the third step in purification, is achieved by passing water through a filter bed, which removes unwanted particles and solids (down to one micron in size). This filter is installed at the structure’s water main and treats the water before it enters any part of the building.
- Water softeners. Water softeners, which can be used to further treat water after it has been treated with chlorine and filtered, help eliminate the lime scale problems associated with hard water. In this process, the water’s calcium (lime scale) is replaced by sodium (salt). This treated soft water rinses clean and does not leave residue.
- Reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis is the most effective form of filtration available today and provides you with drinkable water. It filters out 98 percent of possible water contaminants, and works by passing water through a series of five filters, each filter designed to remove specific contaminants. This process is the final step in water purification and can either be hooked up directly to a small drinking water spout or in larger applications, a clean water reservoir.
In addition to the design and installation of our custom water filtration systems, we also offer regular system service to our clients for an additional fee.
