Hygiene
SAFE DRINKING WATER AS PURE AS FROM ITS SOURCE
Whether you are fitting out a new home or building, or renovating your old water pipes, knowing which piping systems to use can be confusing and overwhelming. You might be wondering which pipes are the most hygienic, safe and will provide the longest usage.
With the right systems in place, you can be assured that your water pipes are durable, safe and above all consistently provide clean water, even after having been away for long periods of time.
CHOOSE SAFE AND CERTIFIED WATER PIPES
National and international production and material standards ensure that you can rely on a clearly defined level of hygienic safety and product quality. A professional plumber or plumbing company will always make sure to exclusively use certified products.
Rhinx-Wepit water supply piping systems such as PEX & PERT Multilayer Composite Pipes, all comply with strict national and international quality standards, providing a hygienically safe distribution of drinking water.
OPT FOR MAINTENANCE FREE, RELIABLE SOLUTIONS
Pex/Pert pipes are known for their durability and corrosion resistance. When correctly installed they are designed to last for decades.
In contrast to other available materials, Pex/Pert pipes also require minimal to no maintenance, meaning once they are installed, you can pretty much forget about them.
WHAT BENEFITS CAN YOU EXPECT?
Our water pipes are entirely free of plasticizers and metals, meaning there is no risk of contamination or corrosion. Thanks to the smooth interior, you also don’t need to worry about buildups and microbiological growth. Provided they are correctly installed by a professional, they require comparably less to no maintenance.
CLEAR, ODORLESS WATER
Pex/Pert Multilayer pipes do not rust or corrode and they are incredibly resistant to heat and sub-zero conditions. This means that if you don’t use your water pipes for a period of time, there is practically no risk of deposit that could affect the color, taste and quality of your water.
MAINTAINING WATER TEMPERATURE
Plastic piping doesn’t conduct heat well, and therefore better maintains the temperature of the water it carries, resulting in less heat loss. Although we highly recommend that you insulate all your pipes, plastic pipes are less prone to sweating even when not insulated.
FAST AND SAFE INSTALLATION
Plastic pipes can be safely and quickly connected with each other or with metal pipes, without welding and without any risk of damaging chemical reactions. Provided they have been correctly installed by a professional, they have a long, leak-free service life with little to no necessary maintenance
No Corrosion
Pexline PE-X pipe will not corrode like traditional pipes made of copper or GI because it does not react with ionic species commonly found in water and the service environment. Use of Pexline PE-X pipe enables the use of a wide variety of Pexline polymer and DZR brass fittings by means of a mechanical jointing method, eliminating the use of solder and solvents. Pexline polymer fittings will not corrode and leach harmful and dangerous substances such as arsenic into the potable water.
No Scale Build-Up
A common and major problem encountered, particularly in “hard” water areas, is the build-up of scale on the internal walls of metal pipes, gradually reducing the internal bore and ultimately restricting flow and reducing water pressure at the faucet. This problem is costly and has a dramatic water wasting effect.
Being non-metallic, Rhinox-Wepit pipes are not affected by scale build-up.
