Data Sheet

HydraStone is the industry leader for relining domestic potable water storage tanks. Through experience, we have found ALKRETE is the only lining to stand the test of time.

ALKRETE LINING MATERIAL
HYDRASTONE IS THE EXCLUSIVE DEALER
Using the “Alkrete” Calcium Aluminate Cement lining material designed specifically for potable domestic hotwater tanks, HydraStone relines more tanks of this nature than any other company in the Country. “Alkrete” is completely resistant to virtually any condition inside a hot water tank, including softened water and extremely high temperatures.
WITH AN OUTSTANDING 40-YEAR HISTORY “ALKRETE” IS THE NUMBER ONE LINING MATERIAL FOR HOT AND COLD POTABLE WATER STORAGE TANKS.

SAFE DRINKING WATER
ALKRETE IS CERTIFIED TO CSA, NSF/ANSI 61 STANDARDS
CSA, NSF/ANSI 61 Standards provide assurance that products which come in contact with potable water systems conform to applicable standards. These standards pertain to health effects of impurities or contaminants that may be introduced from lining systems. Health Canada Approved Health Canada recommends that water utilities and consumers use Drinking Water System Component materials that have been certified to CSA, NSF/ANSI 61 Standards.

 

POTABLE WATER APPLICATIONS
Domestic Hot Water Tanks Fire Water Storage Tanks Hydropneumatic Tanks Cold Water Storage Tanks Food Process Tanks
These types of water storage tanks can be found in hotels, hospitals, large commercial and residential buildings and other facilities that need a constant supply of water, especially during peak demand/usage times. These tanks are generally made of carbon steel, and typically glass, epoxy or cement-lined by the manufacturer to prevent the tank interior from corrosion. Over time the lining will begin to fail and the tank will corrode, eventually leading to tank failure. Before the tank is overcome with severe corrosion a new lining can be installed, preventing further corrosion and giving your tank many years of trouble free service.

CSA & NSF International are organizations which focus on public health and safety certifying thousands of product yearly. ANSI’s (American National Standards Institute) accreditation to these companies ensures proper standards are being followed under the ANSI 61 Drinking Water Systems Components. It is recommended that components, which come in contact with drinking water, be tested for health effects by an ANSI credited organization.
