Regardless of how well monitored and maintained a system is, and regardless of how thoroughly and regularly it is disinfected, a water purification system can start on a bad note by being poorly designed or installed, to begin with.
1. Poor Design of a Purified Water System
This problem is, unfortunately, more common than it should be, often as a result of businesses buying an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution that hasn’t been designed or tailored to meet the needs of their factory. Performance and water filtration system maintenance issues are the inevitable results.
While we have a range of standard products, these are used within the development of custom-engineered systems for our clients. When choosing a company to design your system, it is important to ensure they have the expertise and flexibility of being able to design and build a system to your exact requirements and offer advice to ensure that a robust and effective solution is the result.
2. Poor Initial Installation of Purified Water Systems
Equally, a well-designed bespoke system can fall down as a result of being poorly or incorrectly installed. This can occur even when professional tradespeople are used. For instance, plumbers and pipefitters will often not understand the intricacies of many water purification systems. There really is no substitute for the professional expertise and knowledge that comes with having a system installed by qualified water purification engineers.
This is something we guarantee at Wychwood each and every time. The people who install your systems are the professionals who have been involved in the process from the outset and know the system in detail.
Therefore, the design, standard of materials used and quality of installation is imperative for the ongoing successful performance and operation of a purified water system.
3. No backup if the Water Purification System Goes Down
Businesses come to rely on their water purification systems, which is all well and good when things are working smoothly. However, it is all too easy to take the system for granted and not have a backup prepared for when the system goes down. While all-out failure is comparatively rare in a well-maintained system, it can and does happen. A failed water purification system can bring a factory to a standstill for days or weeks at a time, at an incalculable cost to productivity and delivery schedules.
To avoid such a disaster it is imperative that you have a rapid response service partner onside to get you up and running again if the worst case happens. This should ideally be the original supplier of your system, who should provide high quality, responsive after-sale support service, with well-trained engineers strategically located to provide expertise and spare parts in the event of a system breakdown.
Unfortunately, a lot of the cheaper systems out there don’t come with such support, which is why it is really important to shop around and choose a partner who offers excellent technical support as part of the overall package.
Make an Informed Decision by Asking for Expert Advice
It can be challenging searching for a water purification system that will offer the most appropriate solution for your business. However, when you have experienced professionals working with you who know and understand the industry and the options open to you, it is far easier to make an informed decision on an appropriate water purification solution.
