Apartments in multi-apartment buildings usually receive their water from a centralized water supply network. Water quality is monitored in accordance with applicable drinking-water requirements, but water hardness can still vary considerably.
Hard water forms deposits in water distribution pipes and increases pressure losses. At high temperatures, limescale builds up on plumbing fixtures and in washing machines, coffee machines and dishwashers. These deposits can damage equipment and leave stains on laundry, dishes and other surfaces. Water can be softened to protect equipment and extend its service life.
Another problem in multi-apartment buildings is deterioration in water quality within the building's water distribution system. An ageing, rusty or corroded system can affect the water's colour, smell and taste, and encourage microbial growth.
Before choosing a water treatment solution, we recommend WATEX's chemical water analysis, which examines six key water quality parameters. The results help identify the water quality issue in the apartment and determine a suitable treatment solution.
