CARUS - Model 3180 -Water Treatment Chemical

• Inhibits corrosion of steel distribution system water lines, iron and galvanized piping, and lead and copper plumbing
• Decreases iron tuberculation to extend the life of the distribution system
• Forms a stable, highly resistant film on the inside of distribution piping and metal surfaces providing for effective corrosion control
• Lowers lead and copper levels in the delivered potable water by inhibiting corrosion in the water system
• Decreases the potential for trihalomethane (THM) formation by using the product at a lower water pH
• Protects against the release of asbestos or cement from water mains
• Saves money by reducing corrosion and decreasing hydrant flushing, leaks, and failures
