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 Hydrologics team include:
 

• Fire Flows – American Water has asked if Hydrologics 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.

• Zero Discharge 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 Hydrologics 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 Hydrologics 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
