Water treatment looks benign and frequently is not. The process water is easy; the dosing chemicals are hypochlorite, ferric chloride and acid, and those are the lines that fail.
Applications and the products that suit them
| Application | Product |
|---|---|
| Chemical dosing lines | PTFE-lined assembly for hypochlorite and ferric chloride |
| Dosing pump connections | Braided corrugated hose in 316L, pulsation damping |
| RO skid interconnections | Braided corrugated hose in 316L |
| Raw and treated water transfer | Braided corrugated hose in 316L |
| Blower and aeration connections | Braided corrugated hose or Lateral / universal joint |
| Sludge and effluent lines | Braided corrugated hose in 316L with liner |
| Backwash and filter connections | Lateral / universal joint tied |
Specification notes for this sector
- Hypochlorite and ferric chloride: lined assembly, not bare stainless
- 316L on anything touching treated or brackish water
- Dosing pump connections see pulsation, not steady flow — treat as dynamic
What to send with an enquiry
Bore, medium, pressure, temperature, movement and both end connections. The reasoning for each is on how to specify an assembly.
