Drinking water protection

Modern and safe solutions for our drinking water

Water is one of our most vital resources. It is therefore of utmost importance that we are able to guarantee the quality of our drinking water in the future as well.

 

We use and distribute our water for many purposes via a public water supply network that is becoming increasingly more complex. Consumers from all walks of life are connected to this network, which entails significant contamination risks for drinking water supply and distribution systems. This calls for innovative and watertight security solutions that meet today’s demands. For this, Watts Industries is exactly what you’re looking for.

 

The European Ministry of Health have issued regulations and acts providing local administrations and private individuals with preventive and control measures against pollution of drinking water.

There are two conditions which can give rise to a similar contamination:
• contact between non-drinkable water and drinking water
• risk of return of pollutants to the drinking water supply

The European standard EN 1717 is a protection method based on a classifi cation of water into 5 liquids categories and a protection matrix which specifi es the maximum level of protection for every protection device, providing the most adequate security.
