Water - we keep it pure and simple

A brief explanation of the water treatment implications

The ability of pure water to evaporate off glass without a mark or stain was the catalyst in bringing the water treatment industry and water fed poles together in the late nineties.

The science of pure water can be complicated and perplexing. The industry is still young and lack of experience has led to some companies either over engineering systems or poorly designing equipment. Aquafactors Direct Limited, have a background in water treatment over many years. We therefore understand water better than most.

We also believe in keeping things simple which is why we base many of our systems, mobile and otherwise, on deionised (DI) resins (opposite). These resins are very robust in all kinds of operating circumstances, eg hot and cold weather conditions, and have the ability to remove nearly all impurities in water. This is done easily with just a single piece of equipment. It also enables a pole to operate from any direct water source such as an outside tap.

Prices start at around £1000.00 for a 9 metre pole and DI cylinder.

Pure water can be made in very large quantities using reverse osmosis (RO) technology. RO uses a membrane to divide water into two steams. The impurities are constantly washed away to drain. The product water is 95% to 98% pure.

RO systems are ideal for making water 24 hours a day as part of a static water making facility. This can be located in a garage, factory unit (see opposite) or garden shed. The stored water can then be pumped across, as needed, to a mobile tank set-up in a van (above) or trailer.

Water softeners are also incorporated in areas where the incoming water supply is very hard.

It is difficult to store water at a constant high level of purity. DI resins are therefore used to ‘polish’ stored and RO water up to a 99.9% purity immediately before it goes on the glass. This is most important and will always produce professional results regardless of the prevailing operating conditions.
