Frequently asked questions
- What is the effect of chlorine on pipes?External surface contact. If Uponor piping systems are installed in an atmosphere containing chlorine( for example, swimming pool), Uponor fittings must be protected from contact with chlorine air( for example, with anti-corrosion adhesives), to avoid damage.
- How chemical disinfection can be carried out for Uponor pipe systems?Disinfection of the water supply system is necessary in some cases( bacterial contamination), but it is not the final or most sustainable solution for system operation. Disinfection is necessary only then, if several things in the process of installing the water supply system( installation planning and operating errors) have gone wrong. First, it is absolutely necessary to detect errors and eliminate them( for example, water stagnation, unused tubes or temperature problems) . If this is done, then disinfection is necessary, to disinfect the system.
