HYDRO-GUARD®
Key Points
2
• Automated flushing improves water quality management efficiency.
• Consistency in flushing is a proven technique for effectively managing aging water
• Planned and consistent rotation of water in a distribution line increases disinfectant contact time.
• Improved contact time reduces THM and HAA5 levels
• Reduces biofilm build-up on distribution lines

Cost Containment
4
• Manual flushing of a water distribution line from a fire hydrant can be costly.
• A trouble point in a distribution system may require a crew to be onsite once a week (4 to 5 x month)
• Crew and vehicle time to service a trouble point can be as much as $120 / hour / vehicle
• The math... Hydrant vs. Hydro-Guard®• Hydrant
• Flushing 4 times per month [45 min./flush @ 1500 gpm}
• 270,000 gallons / month• $162 / month is cost of water flushed / $1,944 annually• Labor and vehicle costs of $5,400 (@ $50/hour)• Total: $7,344 per site
• Hydro-Guard® • Flushing 16 times per month [12 min./flush @ 150 gpm}
• 28,800 gallons / month• $17.28 / month is cost of water flushed / $207 annually
• Total Savings: $7,137 per site
