HYDRO-GUARD®

Key Points

2

• Automated flushing improves water quality management efficiency.

• Consistency in flushing is a proven technique for effectively managing aging water

• Planned and consistent rotation of water in a distribution line increases disinfectant contact time.

• Improved contact time reduces THM and HAA5 levels

• Reduces biofilm build-up on distribution lines

Cost Containment

4

• Manual flushing of a water distribution line from a fire hydrant can be costly.

• A trouble point in a distribution system may require a crew to be onsite once a week (4 to 5 x month)

• Crew and vehicle time to service a trouble point can be as much as $120 / hour / vehicle

• The math... Hydrant vs. Hydro-Guard®• Hydrant

• Flushing 4 times per month [45 min./flush @ 1500 gpm}

• 270,000 gallons / month• $162 / month is cost of water flushed / $1,944 annually• Labor and vehicle costs of $5,400 (@ $50/hour)• Total: $7,344 per site

• Hydro-Guard® • Flushing 16 times per month [12 min./flush @ 150 gpm}

• 28,800 gallons / month• $17.28 / month is cost of water flushed / $207 annually

• Total Savings: $7,137 per site
