Clean Water and Potable Water

The first consideration in drinking water systems is to ensure that the water being transported does not undergo any structural changes that could harm human health. GRP pipes, known as the "greenest pipe," can be safely used in drinking water systems.

As with all other systems, one of the key reasons for choosing GRP pipes in drinking water lines is their smooth inner surface, which minimizes hydraulic losses.

Product Advantages:

  • Made from corrosion-resistant, non-metallic material. Since corrosion is not an issue, it does not require cathodic protection or additional insulation materials. Therefore, there are no operational difficulties or costs.

  • Electrically insulates and is not affected by induction ground currents.

  • Due to its smooth inner surface, friction loss is minimized, and this advantage remains consistent throughout its long service life.

  • Low hydraulic losses due to the high Hazen-Williams coefficient require less pumping energy. The energy savings over the long term offset the pipe cost.

  • Provides significant savings in transportation as it can be nested for transport.

  • It weighs approximately 1/4 of steel pipe, 1/5 of ductile iron pipe, and 1/10 of concrete pipe.

  • Does not require expensive installation equipment. It is quick and easy to install, saving time.

  • It has flexibility and has been successfully applied in earthquake zones (compared to steel and concrete).

  • Can be used in extremely high pH conditions.

  • Does not get damaged under pressure and sudden discharges.

  • Does not scale or form deposits.

  • Can be installed inside existing pipes for the renewal of old lines (relining).

  • Suitable for low-angle directional changes without the need for additional fittings.

  • Has very few joints, requiring a minimal number of gaskets.
