Key Benefits:

​

• Virtually eliminates most of the water waste associated with conventional flushing!

• Removal of bio-film and nitrification issues.

• Removes particulates such as sand and iron & manganese.

• Add disinfection to all sections of the distribution system, including dead ends, in systems using both chlorine and chloramines.

• Elimination of NPDES-related issues.

• Diagnostic tools allow users to identify issues hidden in the distribution system.

• No property damage or clean-up costs. No auto accident claims.

• Allows flushing of mains after main repairs to avoid contamination.

• Water quality improvements – can flush regularly – 24/7/365.

• Controlled flow and reduced damage to the distribution system – no water hammer, pipe/lining erosion.

• Lowered labor costs – smaller crew, reduced set-up and valving, de-chlorination not required, minimize or eliminate overtime costs. Can be used in conjunction with a valve exercising program to streamline labor costs.

• Developing new source of supply.

• Seen as a green initiative, environmentally friendly.

• Energy Savings – costs to pump, treat, transfer, pressurize, and deliver the water and pipe capacity regained.

• Consistent message to the public – conservation, no misconceptions about water quality due to observance of dirty water.

• Lowered Unaccounted for Water.

 

Other uses for the NO-DES unit include:
 

• Fire Flows – American Water has asked if NO-DES would work on developing our technology to provide hydrant fire flow testing.  We have a design process (patent pending) that uses our equipment to accomplish these fire flow tests.

• NO-DES Flushing of Private commercial/industrial fire service water main distribution systems. 

• Newly installed water main flushing (chlorinating and de-chlorinating without wasting water).

• Cleaning-up water mains after main leak/repairs (re-disinfection and samples).

• Water Storage Tank cleaning and draining (full or empty).  This can be used in conjunction with divers inspecting, cleaning or repairing tanks that cannot be drained!

• Large Meter Testing Programs.

• GAC filter and other plant filter systems back-washing.

• Standard Booster Pump – The NO-DES unit was also designed to be used as a standard booster (or transfer pumping unit) and comes with 1,000 ft of 5″ hose standard (more hose and reels are available upon request).  The benefits are that the NO-DES unit will filter the water that is being transferred and can also be chlorinated if desired.  These are benefits that traditional booster systems cannot make available.

• Emergency Water Treatment
