WORKING TOGETHER
BWT & TRINITY MEP ENGI­NEERING

BWT has been working closely with Trinity Heat Care and the Home Care Sector since 2010 in iden­ti­fying and supplying a range of solu­tions to treat hard water that is likely to cause limescale related issues in the future.
When asked why Trinity Heat Care decided to work with BWT, Tony Mynard, Managing Director of Trinity Heat Care, made the following state­ment, “People, gener­ally buy off people, providing the product is the right product. We have always made sure that the product we have asked for suits the appli­ca­tion. I have known BWT and their team for a long time now. They [BWT] always give you what you need. For example, they will say, ‘you do not need to that, it is better if you do it this way.’ Even if it is not neces­sarily what you asked for, they always give you the right advice.”

BWT manu­fac­ture and supply a large range of indus­trial and commer­cial water treat­ment equip­ment including base exchange commer­cial water soft­eners, phys­ical water condi­tioners, ultra­vi­olet ster­il­izers and filtra­tion to name a few.
In the last nine years Trinity Heat Care have success­fully fitted a wide range of BWT indus­trial & commer­cial water treat­ments prod­ucts into a number of pres­ti­gious Care Home organ­i­sa­tions throughout the UK.
Tony Mynard confirmed that one such example where this two-​way rela­tion­ship worked well was when they had expe­ri­enced prob­lems with recently installed Mikro­fill hot water gener­a­tors scaling up. BWT for their part made sure that Trinity Heat Care was aware of all the options by giving, Tony and his team, a detailed expla­na­tion of each solu­tion and any impli­ca­tions that their adop­tion might cause in the future.

Two product groups have consis­tently proved to be bene­fi­cial to the Care Homes espe­cially in protecting and extending the life of water heaters.

One of the prod­ucts is the BWT AQA Total. A patented range of phys­ical water condi­tioners that perma­nently condi­tions the water so the limescale is held in suspen­sion once it passes through a cartridge system. The unit is WRAS approved, so it can be installed on either a complete mains supply or the hot water services.

The other is BWT’s exten­sive range of domestic and commer­cial water soft­eners, which completely remove the minerals that cause limescale. These minerals, typi­cally calcium and magne­sium are removed when hard water passes through a resin bed, once exhausted the bed is regen­er­ated auto­mat­i­cally using an accu­rately controlled brine solu­tion. This provides soft­ened water, which elim­i­nates limescale, and offers further cost saving for the Care Home by reducing the amount of soaps, shampoo and deter­gents used throughout the facility. Soft­ened water is not recom­mended for drinking in the UK and so should only be used to supply taps not used for drinking.
