#1 Water quality basics
When choosing a piping system material, ensure that it will:
- Withstand aggressive
water treatment protocols. - Resist the biofilm growth that can lead to waterborne illness like Legionnaires’ disease.
- Avoid
above recommended limits for safe drinking, if a water supply’s pH falls below 6.5.
#2 Design basics
When designing your piping system, ensure that it will:
- Provide the required temperature and
for commercial and institutional applications. - Maintain maximum flow rates over the life of the system by not pitting or scaling.
- Be approved for
. - Be third-party tested for compatibility with ancillary products.
