In many instances Pure Water steam-distillation systems are networked to coolers or other dispensing devices, much like a computer network.

This illustration shows a typical small network in which a Pure Water C-50, located in a mechanical room, is networked to a number of point-of-use coolers around the office.

• THE PURIFICATION SYSTEM, typically located in a utility room, storage room, boiler room, or storage area, produces and stores high-purity steam-distilled water.
• PURE WATER DISPENSERS are located where they are needed and usually replace bottled water coolers and drinking fountains.

• DEDICATED WATER LINES are run from the distiller to the dispensers. These water lines are typically high grade FDA approved plastic or PEX tubing, so installation is simple in most instances.

Networks can be small or very large depending on the application.  A network is customized and can be configured as a “Vertical Network” or a “Horizontal Network”. In actuality a network has both horizontal and vertical characteristics.

Vertical Networks
These are multi-storied networks in vertical buildings.  Vertical networks must be planned with “pressure zones” to ensure that the head of water does not create high pressure on the lower floors.

The St. Moritz Luxury Apartment complex is a case at point.  This new high-rise apartment building in New Jersey has a Pure Water C-630 system in the upper mechanical room.  This system provides pure and secure water to more than 225 apartments on 25 floors.  No bottled water deliveries here, and the tenants are very happy.

Horizontal Networks
Horizontal networks are ideal for factories and large warehouses.

Toys 'R' Us

In this example, a horizontal network has been established to feed more than 55 drinking water dispensers throughout a 1.4 million square feet Toys 'R' Us warehouse in Southern California.   This facility houses close to 1,000 employees at the peak period.  Because security is tight, management elected to go with a Pure Water C-630 networked system.  This system provides drinking water to coolers throughout the facility.  Furthermore, applications like this can also supply water to the ice-maker, vending machines and the food preparation and service area.  

The payout on this project was very quick compared to purchasing bottled water, with all the security, handling and management ramifications that delivered bottled water involves.
