Iron pipes

Galvanized iron pipes are used in many installations. Other materials have also been used as well for a few years now in the domestic sector. However, iron pipes are conventional in most older installations. Iron pipes are still used at most points in industry. Galvanized iron pipes feature a relatively rough inside surface. The scale is then generally deposited first at these points. This leads to even rougher surfaces and exacerbates the process. In addition, the zinc coating in the pipes is also dissolved under unfavorable water conditions, thus leading to corrosion of the pipes.
The result is that many of the pipes virtually clog up over the years. The cross-section is reduced more and more and the water pressure drops appreciably.

Under normal conditions , Merus is capable of stopping and reversing corrosion and scale build-up. This reversal process starts after Merus is installed. The pipes are cleared again depending on flow rate and regularity at which the water is tapped. In some cases, this can be seen from the rust or scale flushed out or, even after only a short time, you can see that the water pressure and the flow rate increase again. In many cases, customers installed test sections on which it was possible to prove irrefutably that corrosion had been stopped and that deposits, in some cases, had been fully removed. When the existing deposits have been removed and the bare iron appears, this iron is coated with a protective coating of saturated iron oxide, thus stopping corrosion.
