Health and SafetyBuilding codes and standards were established to help protect people from potentially harmful products and situations. Aquatherm believes that a plumbing system should never adversely affect the people using it, and works hard to ensure that, no matter what the circumstances, Aquatherm piping systems never present a health or safety hazard.Polypropylene piping systems do not contain heavy metals, PVC, CPVC or other materials known to have an adverse affect on human health. Aquatherm piping systems won't interact with the water they carry, so they'll never affect the taste or smell of the water, or the health of the people using it. Aquatherm pipes are more resistant to crushing and impacts than other plastic systems and will never shatter if broken under pressure. This adds an extra measure of safety for everyone. According to DIN 1988 T2 all installation parts coming directly in contact with potable water are commodity goods according to the spirit of the Law for Food and Commodity Goods. Plastic pipes have to comply with the KTW-recommendations of the Federal Public Health Department, of Germany. Material:The hygienic suitability of the material used for aquatherm greenpipe systems is independently verified through test certificates from the Hygiene Institute Gelsenkirchen. The suitability for potable water pipes in the field of cold and warm water is confirmed by current tests.Processing:The joining method requires no additives such as fluxes, adhesives or solders. The connection is made by socket fusion. The increasing use of PP in the field of food-packing confirms the hygienic qualities of the material. This makes aquatherm greenpipe the optimal packing product for one of our most precious commodity goods - our potable water. |
