Residential Water Treatment

Residential properties require regular maintenance to ensure the occupier’s service level is always met. Failure to meet tenants’ expectations can result in a breakdown of relationship, loss of residents and in some cases litigation. Heating and cooling systems are a large part of the service required to ensure a home is habitable whilst also protecting building fabric. Guaranteeing these systems have the best protection with a residential water treatment programme can reduce unexpected breakdowns, reactive maintenance fees and will ensure the system runs at optimum efficiency.

Wherever hydronic systems for heating, condensing or cooling are in place issues such as scale, corrosion, bacteria sludge or fouling are likely to occur. A water treatment programme mitigates against these issues and passivates the system against corrosion.

VEXO’s holistic approach to residential water treatment encompasses additives, filtration and incorporates intelligent building management controls to further control systems and reduce carbon emissions with products designed to address facility environmental responsibility.

Filtration
VEXO’s X-POT all-in-one side stream filter ensures your HVAC hydronic system has the cleanest water possible flowing through it. The X-POT combines powerful magnetic filters with superfine bag or cartridge filtration an air & dirt separator with dosing pot capability into one filter unit. Placed in side-stream, the X-POT can be maintained with no need to turn off the heating, cooling or condensing system. Designed to be simple to install and easy to retrofit to existing systems and maintain, the X-POT is the UK leader in closed loop side stream filtration.
Additives
VEXO’s full range of water treatment additives can treat existing issues for corrosion, scale, bacteria fouling or sludge, and passivate new systems for optimum performance. Made in the UK and formulated by leading UK chemists the low-hazard, super concentrate formula reduces environmental impact and cuts down storage and transport fees.
S-BMS
VEXO’s S-BMS Smart Business Management Systems facilitate the dynamic control of your residential properties. Ensuring live connection via the cloud from anywhere in the world, the S-BMS panel wirelessly connects to the strongest available network offering truly wireless access, anytime, anywhere. S-BMS comes with LoRaWAN reliable wireless gateway as standard, providing more control, improved comfort control and enhances energy reductions. The system comes with the option to add wireless field sensors, TRV heads, relays, zone valve and extender panels enabling you to control the environment in unoccupied access areas and save money while reducing carbon emissions.
There was this ongoing issue of lots of leaks within the heating system. There was a constant stream of complaints from residents about heating issues and the situation was unsustainable. After installing an X-POT, some people will tell you it’s been life changing. It’s been a lot more efficient and it’s made us get the best value in terms of heat and temperatures of the boilers efficiency.

A number of X-POT units are currently in operation in sites in London. Further projects where we will be looking to specify the VEXO equipment in a 42-storey hotel and private residences development. Our team would have no hesitation in recommending the VEXO X-POT range and have since advised our colleagues in our sister teams of the benefits that VEXO equipment have to offer in what has historically been a difficult and un-engineered aspect of hydraulic design in building services systems.
