Facing tough choices? |
|
|
Does your water supply lead to a shorter machine life? |
|
|
Are you applying municipal, industrial, or agricultural wastewater? |
|
|
Do you add products for crop or soil management? |
In certain areas, water that was once known to be clean and non-corrosive is increasingly becoming more corrosive. Some producers are using less desirable sources - waste water, process water and corrosive water. In those areas of degrading water quality, corrosion of standard galvanized steel can occur at varying rates.
All materials except PolySpan® are susceptible to corrosion failure. With time, depending upon the water quality, corrosion failure can occur in a few years or it may take several decades. The only method to determine water quality as it relates to the pipeline is to have your Valley dealer obtain a water sample for analysis and provide you with an estimate of your pipeline life.
