Vancouver’s water is considered soft because it has low concentrations of dissolved minerals. This low mineral content results from the water’s source, which is primarily rainwater and snow-melt from the surrounding mountains. As this water travels through the landscape, it doesn’t pick up any significant amount of minerals, leading to its classification as soft water.
When this soft water enters your building, it interacts with a variety of plumbing components that are vulnerable to this soft, corrosive water drastically shortening their normal lifespan. Copper piping shows this process as pinhole leaks which intensify over time, resulting inevitably in the requirement for complete re-piping.
1Clearwater‘s quantifiable solution is unique to Vancouver. It is the only CSA (B483.1) certified system in Canada and carries decades of proven success.
The effects of our unique turn key process starts immediately. The introduction of zinc orthophosphate @ 1ppm into the water neutralizes and stops the soft water’s corrosive aggressiveness that causes pin hole leaks by becoming the new sacrificial anode rather than the previously old anode (your copper pipes). Plus it also forms a new and constant protective coating on the inside walls of your pipes. We then stabilize the water’s pH.
Now the water is friendly and non-corrosive, the pipes have a new ongoing protective lining and the pinhole leaks stop! Soon all thoughts of re-piping or forgotten.
Our unique system frees owners and property managers of untold wasted time and expenses to this very avoidable problem. Giving them the most affordable and proven means to protect their investment, while adhering to their insurance companies strict requirements.
