“Sufficient Surge Suppression Devices Should Be Installed”*

For nearly a century, ignoring this lesson has caused trillions of gallons of precious water to be wasted.  Have you been following the latest thinking about transient risk management?   Water industry research in the US and Canada, computer models, and field experience confirm that “umbrella” surge protection:

• Reduces pipeline stress in every neighborhood
• Calms high and low pressure transient events
• Lowers the probability of pipe failure by 50% or more
• Extends the replacement timeline of an aging water infrastructure
• Minimizes the present value of pipeline repair and replacement costs 

Do you know that the vast majority of water main breaks do not have to occur?  Or that the cost of prevention is significantly less than the cost of repair of replacement?  Are you anxious about the staggering estimates for infrastructure replacement?  We can help.  Using surge suppression is a “no-brainer.  For information, call Heil2o or your preferred supplier today.

• Take Control.
• Reduce the Chance of Contamination.
• Conserve Water.
• Save Public Money.
• It’s in your Hands.
