FT Water Treatment

FT Water Treatment is a supplier of flexible, dual contained chemical dosing hose, with leak detection.  The two systems, PF Detect and Protectaflex, both consist of a durable PU outer jacket and an inner hose in a choice of materials (reinforced PVC, LDPE and PTFE).

The main difference between the two products is the leak detection system:

• PF Detect – offers built-in leak detection, which only requires a minimal amount of liquid to trigger the alarm and shut off procedure, with the leaked liquid contained by the versatile polyurethane jacket.
• Protectaflex – uses system-designed catchpots, which enable the outer containment to be terminated inside the catchpot.

Both products share some common features and benefits:

• Made from a light and supple material, and it relies on capillary action rather than gravity to work, meaning it can be installed almost anywhere.
  Lightweight meaning lower shipping and storage costs.
• Good flexibility and lower bend radius
• Easy to handle and install, for example, flexible hose can often be installed via a duct so there is no need for expensive and disruptive excavation works.
• Fittings can be swaged on, offering a comprehensive coupling, eliminating the risks of clips and the need for expensive bespoke dual contained fittings. Only one standard hose tail fitting required per end. (Click here to find out which hose tail you need)
• Hose can be delivered in continuous runs with no joints up to 500m, meaning you only require one fitting for each end on half a kilometre of hose
• Reduced packaging and fully recyclable resulting in a lower carbon footprint
• In tests, the PU outer did not distort when the inner hose burst.
