Turbu-Flow has proven to solve problems with Hyper Saline water used in mining equipment in underground mines both in Australia and Ireland. Benefits
"In summary we have reduced our down time due to water box seal wear and this has had a major impact on running costs. It is also worth noting that Turbu-flow will increase the life of other components such as water coolers and the condition of water hoses on the drill rig." - Roy Tallon, Development Mine Captain, Bolidan Tara Mines, Ireland.
"In my opinion the Turbu-Flow is a success on the boomer's in Tara mine as it is has increases the life of the seals to over 50% at least and hopefully this will also protect all the other component's in the water circuit e.g. oil cooler and valves." - Damien Healy, Field Service Engineer, Atlas Copco Construction & Mining, UK & Ireland.

What Is Hard Water?
Hard water is classified as water that has a high mineral content, mainly calcium and magnesium ions and can also include iron, manganese, sodium and other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates.
With increased mineral content hard water problems include;
-Scaling of pipes and associated equipment.
-Spotting on dishes, shower doors, cars, motorbikes.
-Soap scum in sinks and bathtubs.
-Scum rings in bath tubs, swimming pools and spas.
-Reduced foaming and cleaning abilities of soaps and detergents.
-Dingy and yellowed laundry with soapy residues that require extra rinsing.
-Increased water heating costs from a buildup of minerals on heating elements in hot water systems, dish washers, kettles reducing their efficiencies.
-Possible skin infections from bacteria trapped in pores under soap scum.
The solution……….install a Turbu-Flow water conditioner!
