Case Studies

One of Aqua-Nouveau’s strengths is tackling unusual, interesting and complex installations. From 2009 we are highlighting some of these as case studies. We hope these give you an idea of what is involved in certain types of location and the work required to put equipment into operation.

• CS1 & 1A: Getting the water quality right from a bore hole

In March 2009 we were asked, by a family who had purchased a large, old, but lovely cottage in a village near Alresford in Hampshire, to upgrade and revise the plumbing supplied by a private water source.

A site survey showed that the premises was provided with water from an adjacent bore hole.
There was no water quality equipment fitted of any kind and the pipe work in places was archaic….

A year later we were asked to look at a neighbours bore hole. We applied a different set of parameters to improving water at this location. Again, there was no water quality equipment of any kind even though a new bore hole had only been sunk a few years before….

• CS2: Water softening at the Crouchers Hotel, Chichester

In May 2009 we were asked, by the owners of the Crouchers Hotel - a 26 bedroom luxury hotel, built in a 1900’s farmhouse, to replace the existing water softener which was no longer coping with the demand.

The premises are in Chichester, West Sussex where the hardness of the water is 340ppm of carbonate hardness.

We had to relocate the softener and install a higher capacity unit….

• CS3: Back feeding softened water

Installing a water softener can often be difficult. We can sometimes employ a technique known as ‘back feeding’. This involves taking the softened water supply, from the water softener, and entering it back into the main water supply at a completely different location in the property to where the original hard water supply originated.

• CS4: Water quality system installed in a dental practice

Having had a water softener and purifier successfully fitted at his home, we were asked by the proprietor of a dental practice, in Burnham, near Slough, to look at improving water quality for his business.
