Water Treatment for Educational Facilities
Educational institutions can benefit greatly from a water treatment system, specifically a commercial grade water softener. A water softener can assist in decreasing costs associated with fixtures, plumbing and water using appliances. Maintenance and cleaning personnel costs can also be reduced by softer water.
Hard water coming into your institution can have a dramatic effect on everything it touches. Hard water contains calcium or magnesium that can deposit in plumbing, fixtures and heating elements in water using appliances. These deposits are known as lime scale. Lime scale can reduce the efficiency of heating elements in boilers and water heaters when the elements become coated over time. The increased effort required to heat water leads to higher energy costs and eventually equipment failure. A water softener can eliminate the scale deposits resulting in decreased energy costs and longer lasting appliances. Lime scale also increases the amount of time spent cleaning by your janitorial staff. It deposits on faucets, toilets and tile, requiring chemical and scrubbing for removal. A water softener will eliminate the scale causing minerals in your water, resulting in cleaner fixtures and tiles.
