Corrosion is one of the most common problems affecting building water systems in high-rise buildings, condominiums, and public facilities. Corrosion of water systems is not only a major concern due to the health issues it may cause, but it also represents a serious threat and monetary loss to any commercial or residential building. Corrosion protection for system infrastructure and residential plumbing is a priority to extend the service life of aging water systems while off-setting the cost of repair and replacement.
