[NMR Pipe Protector Verification Results] Nursing Facility #HO

The red rust inside the water supply pipe has transformed into hard crystalline black rust with a volume reduction of 1/10! The rehabilitation of the piping due to the black rust formation from red rust has been confirmed!

This nursing facility had experienced significant deterioration due to red rust in the water supply and hot water supply pipes. Therefore, when the building was 25 years old, a red rust prevention device called the "NMR Pipe Protector" was installed in the water supply pipe on the secondary side of the rooftop water tank and in the hot water supply pipe on the secondary side of the boiler. Before the installation of the NMR Pipe Protector, the iron ion concentration in the water supply was 2.27 mg/l, and the color degree was 20, indicating severe deterioration due to red rust in the pipes. Four weeks after the installation of the NMR Pipe Protector, the iron ion concentration in the water dropped to 0.46 mg/l, and the color degree improved to 5, showing a significant improvement in water quality. Furthermore, the water quality test results 12 weeks after installation showed that the iron ion concentration was 0.03 mg/l, and the color degree was less than 0.5. The red rust in the water supply pipe had transformed into hard crystalline black rust with a volume reduction of 1/10, stopping the leaching of red rust into the water. The rehabilitation of the pipes due to the black rust formation was confirmed. This demonstrated that if the use of the NMR Pipe Protector continues, both the water supply and hot water supply pipes can be extended to the lifespan of the building.
