Pin-hole leaks and corrosion FAQs

Yes! Every time! The 1Clearwater system adds the “sacrificial anode” that neutralizes the aggressive nature of Lower Mainland water and leaves it harmless to metal plumbing infrastructure.

Yes! The corrosion inhibitors that 1Clearwater uses were created in the early 1980’s specifically for the problem of soft water corrosion, and have been tested/vetted decades ago by not only Health Canada but also the FDA, EPA and WHO. They are safe to use in drinking water and cause no long-term health issues, even for those with compromised health systems.

No. Corrosion Inhibitors that 1Clearwater uses are tasteless, odourless and colourless.

No. In more than 9 out of 10 installations, the property simply stops leaking and doesn’t leak anymore. Soon all talk of re-piping is forgotten about!

We would never recommend repiping a building using a product that is guaranteed to fail down the road. Currently, we are using the FOURTH generation of lifetime guaranteed plastic pipe (since the first three FAILED). Chlorine is the culprit. Chlorine and plastic pipe do NOT get along! Eventually plastic will go brittle and rupture causing catastrophic water escape.

Nothing is better than copper pipe for drinking water. It is stronger, holds more pressure, higher temperature, is better in a seismic environment and lasts for up to 100 years if the water running through it leaves it alone!

While a personalized proposal will be the best way to determine cost, 1Clearwater has service plans that start as low as $2.90 (plus taxes) per condo unit per month.

No! No long-term contract is required to have 1Clearwater service your building.

Yes, eventually. Insurance companies operate on the instances of claim. By installing a 1Clearwater system and stopping leaks (claims) your building will be in a strong position to discuss with your insurance company reducing deductibles for water escape and premiums overall.

Yes! 1Clearwater works closely with Royal Bank for customers that wish to spread the cost of service over a fixed term.

Absolutely! Your buildings mechanical room will be left as it was found.

Hard Water Scaling FAQs

Yes! Minerals that cause scale buildup (like calcium, magnesium and iron) are sequestered using scaling inhibitors that help the minerals pass through mechanical systems without sticking to them!

Yes! The scaling inhibitors that 1Clearwater uses have been tested/vetted decades ago by not only Health Canada but also the FDA, EPA and WHO. They are safe to use in drinking water and cause no long-term health issues, even for those with compromised health systems.

No. Scaling inhibitors that 1Clearwater uses are tasteless, odourless and colourless.

Poultry FAQs

Water treatment for poultry is vital for the elimination of biological contamination. Eliminating algae, bacteria and virus from the water and water lines ensures healthier birds and better feed conversion.

Oh, ya.  Treatment systems ensure greater weight gain in poultry, and better egg production at the beginning and end of a cycle.  Imagine obtaining your weight quota with 10% fewer birds!

No! No long-term contract is required to have 1Clearwater service your farm.

Agriculture

Water treatment for agriculture is vital for the elimination of biological contamination. Eliminating algae, bacteria and virus from the water and water lines ensures healthier crops.

Yes! Using mineral based additives in the water and spraying your crop will not only kill mould already on the foliage, but also impede mould from coming back.

Mineral based additives, particularly ionic copper, stops insects from laying eggs on the foliage.

Yes. The 1Clearwater monitor and control system is easily implemented into existing systems.

Effluent Control

pH is monitored in flowing or stagnant effluent, and altered using caustic or acidic additives.
