Why Choose Anodic Oxidation?
Good water quality is essential for safe drinking and shower water. However, bacteria, biofilm, viruses, and other microorganisms can develop in a drinking water system. Biofilm, in particular, poses a challenge because it creates a protective layer in which bacteria can multiply and are more difficult to control.
With an ECAPRO system, Normec uses anodic oxidation to continuously monitor water quality. This sustainable technology safely disinfects drinking water without the use of hazardous or environmentally harmful chemicals. This keeps the system clean and minimizes risks to users.
How an ECAPRO system works
The ECAPRO system uses anodic oxidation. During this process, water and salt are converted into Anoxyl through electrolysis: a powerful, safe, and biodegradable disinfectant.
The system centrally disinfects both cold- and hot-water pipes. This effectively neutralizes bacteria, biofilm, viruses, and other microorganisms. Water quality remains under control even in areas where bacteria multiply more rapidly, such as in hotspots and where the water heats up.
The Benefits of an ECAPRO System
With an ECAPRO system, you benefit from:
- Continuous disinfection of drinking and shower water
- Effective control of bacteria, biofilm, and viruses
- No use of hazardous or environmentally harmful chemicals
- Low service and maintenance costs
- CTGB-approved application for drinking water systems
A reliable solution
The ECAPRO system was developed for locations where safe drinking water is of the utmost importance. Thanks to its continuous disinfection, the system is particularly well-suited for priority drinking water systems where the health of residents, guests, or patients is paramount.
The system is used in, among other places:
- Hospitals
- Nursing homes
- Hotels
- Healthcare facilities
- Other buildings with priority drinking water systems
By continuously monitoring and improving water quality, you help ensure a safe environment for users and make it easier to comply with applicable drinking water management requirements.
From installation to maintenance and sampling
After the ECAPRO system is put into service, we sample the drinking water in accordance with the applicable CTGB authorization. Initially, this is done monthly. Once the water quality is demonstrably stable, the testing frequency is reduced to once every three months and subsequently to a semi-annual inspection. We also handle the additional sampling required by drinking water regulations.
In addition, our specialists perform periodic maintenance to ensure that the system continues to function reliably and that you are assured of a safe drinking water system.
