Phosphate Water Treatment: The Solution for Pipe Corrosion and Leaks

Our water treatment program utilizes industry-leading phosphate technology to safeguard your building’s plumbing system. By adding a thin, protective layer to the inside of your plumbing system, we effectively combat corrosion and prevent pinhole leaks at their source, helping you save thousands in costly repairs and water damage.

How Our Solution Works: A Simple, Proven Process

We use state-of-the-art, customized equipment to seamlessly integrate our treatment program into your building’s plumbing system.

  • Step 1: Water Analysis & System Design
    Our skilled technicians begin by analyzing your water. This helps us pinpoint the best food-grade phosphate blend, tailored to your specific pipe materials and conditions.

  • Step 2: Creating a Protective Pipe Coating
    Next, we introduce a precisely measured amount of phosphate into your water supply. This process naturally forms a super-thin protective layer on the inside of your pipes, acting as a shield against potential damage.

  • Step 3: Continuous Protection & Maintenance
    With our regular on-site service, this protective coating stays firmly in place, offering ongoing defense against corrosion and helping to prevent new leaks from occurring.

Overall, this approach is safe, effective, and minimally invasive, making it an excellent way to enhance the health of your plumbing system.
