Reducing Maintenance Costs for a School Water System
What the Client Needed
Solution
In 2019, Clarke Sales recommended the installation of a 4” Watts LF909 Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow Preventer coated with ArmorTek™ as a test.
ArmorTek is an advanced primer coating containing an electrochemical corrosion inhibitor to significantly slow the spread of corrosion should the metal substrate become exposed from wear or impact from water system debris.
ArmorTek also uses a microbial inhibitor; it prohibits the growth of the bacteria that causes MIC, which can occur in water systems with low chlorine levels, like at Arroyo Seco Junior High. Prohibiting bacteria can further slow the spread of corrosion and the growth of tubercles that can clog or foul downstream equipment. ArmorTek’s top layer provides a high strength barrier between the iron substrate and water.
