Plumber''s water treatment system is well above par

23/01/2008

A plumber has left days spent unblocking u-bends behind him after developing an innovative water treatment system.

Harold Kinasewich embarked on creating the system when he became increasingly aware of new environmental legislation and growing concern over water wastage from government figures and the public.

In response, he founded the company Seair, which sells a portable wastewater treatment system which transforms effluent into drinking water by exposing it to ozone gas, Candian newspaper the Edmonton Journal reports.

The system has found a particular market among golf clubs, which are under pressure to cut their water usage.

Mr Kinasewich said: "All the U.S. golf courses have water problems, and being forced to reuse water and effluent is a health issue."

He added: "With legislation forcing golf courses to use reclaimed wastewater as their source, the need for enriched bacteria-free water is becoming more important for the health and well-being of golf courses and golfers alike."

Heat and Plumb sells a wide range of water-saving devices, including Duchy taps and showers and shower valves from Deva.
