Water Treatment

The Domestic Water Treatment Association (DWTA) is an industry backed organisation, dedicated to promoting product and installation quality standards for the chemical water treatment sector. The DWTA works with the heating industry, Government and consumer groups to ensure chemical water treatment contributes to improving the overall performance of heating systems.

The aim of the DWTA is to establish chemical water treatment as best practice for heating systems. Domestic Water Treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and efficacy of central heating systems to benefit the consumer.

What is chemical water treatment?

Domestic water treatment is the generic term for products and processes preventing the corrosion and scaling of ancillary pipe-work and equipment within a heating system. Chemical inhibitors maintain or improve its long -term energy efficiency by protecting against the damaging effects of corrosion and lime scale.

With Government focus on energy efficiency objectives, it is now a mandatory requirement to clean and inhibit a heating system properly. By following the correct procedures, water treatment ensures that the boiler and other central heating components operate to their maximum potential through protection from the effects of contaminants and harmful particles produced when water combines with metal.

The inclusion of water treatment in the 2006 Building Regulations demonstrates the invaluable contribution domestic water treatment companies make in the field of energy efficiency.
