Background
The Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane has installed high-quality JUDO JPF automatic backwash filters to enhance the efficiency and longevity of its equipment. These filters are crucial in screening sediment deposits from the water supply, ensuring smooth operation in the long term.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this project were enhancing hospital water quality to:
- Improve the lifespan of equipment in contact with mains water.
- Ensure the smooth operation of hospital systems by maintaining a clean water supply.
- Reduce maintenance costs and risks associated with water damage.
Challenges
The hospital faced several challenges, including:
- Potential bacterial growth within the water filtration system.
- Corrosion and leakage in pipework due to sedimentation.
- High maintenance costs and the need for regular equipment servicing.
Solution
To address these challenges, the hospital implemented JUDO JPF automatic backwash filters featuring:
- Silver-coated filter screens – These inhibit bacterial growth, ensuring a healthier water supply.
- Transparent viewing glass – This allows operators to fully view the screen and backwash operation, facilitating easier maintenance.
- Point-rotation cleaning technology – This innovation ensures minimal water waste during the cleaning process.
- Automatic sediment flushing – Sediment deposits are automatically flushed to the drain without interrupting the water flow into the building.
Outcome
The installation of JUDO JPF filters resulted in enhancing hospital water quality:
- A significant increase in the lifespan of equipment that comes into contact with the water supply.
- A decreased risk of water damage from pipework corrosion, leakage, and sedimentation.
- Cost savings due to reduced ongoing maintenance work and expenses.
In Summary
The Queensland Children’s Hospital has successfully enhanced the efficiency and longevity of its equipment through the installation of JUDO JPF automatic backwash filters. These filters provide a comprehensive solution to sedimentation and bacterial growth, ensuring a cleaner water supply and reduced maintenance costs, ultimately supporting the hospital’s operational needs.
