Scope

Need solution to handle the high-altitude water pressure in 98 miles of water line pipes

What Client Needed

Old, galvanized, and rusted pipes allowed pressure surges in the system, causing ruptures that could go unnoticed for lengths of time.

Solution

Watts tank fill altitude control valves with delayed-opening functions and upstream pressure sustaining options.

Result (ROI)

Prevented over-topping of tanks and wasting water, as well as unchecked flow from the high tank to lower tanks in the event of a major water break.

“We’re very pleased with the level of control we could achieve with the Watts valves and, now after several months of service, the performance of the equipment as well.”
