Nu Flow Technologies (2000) Inc.
has developed an effective
procedure that restores corroded piping systems without the costly expense and
disruption of pipe replacement. Pipe corrosion occurs in virtually all types of
piping systems beginning from the moment they are put into service. The Nu Flow cleaning and epoxy lining process provides a quick and permanent
solution for extending the useful life of older piping systems.
Over years, corrosion build-up in piping obstructs water flow, collects lead and
other potentially harmful elements, and results in the gradual deterioration of
the piping system and overall water quality. Within 15- 20 years time, as much
as 70% of the pipe's original flow capacity can be lost as a result of internal
pipe corrosion.
The adverse effects of this natural deterioration are all too familiar: colored,
bad tasting and foul smelling drinking water, poor flow and heat transfer, and
an abundance of leaks.
Recent and ongoing research by the EPA has conveyed a growing concern over the
adverse effects of high lead and copper levels in infants, children and pregnant
women. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services postulates that lead is the
number one environmental threat to our childrens' health, with increasing
exposure rates caused by the continued consumption of water from aging, corroded
potable water systems, many of which are still fitted with original lead-based
plumbing fixtures. Nu Flow's epoxy system will provide a permanent
protective barrier within the pipe halting the further leaching of these and
other harmful elements.
