When a storm, freeze, or main break triggers a Boil Water Advisory or drops city pressure, bulk tankers can't pressurize your upper floors. Our MWTP-250 Mobile Water Treatment Facility treats water on site and feeds your pre-installed domestic water connection at up to 250 GPM, 65–85 PSI — typically within about 3 hours of arrival at a pre-surveyed site.
Tanker trucks fill ground storage but can't keep risers, fixtures, and sterile processing pressurized. The MWTP-250 feeds the building's domestic system directly through an RPZ backflow preventer.
Steady pressure and <0.05 NTU membrane-filtered water to the building system that feeds your sterilizers and washers (your existing in-house treatment stays in place).
Tower makeup can use several hundred GPM on its own. We size domestic service first and work with your engineers on whether any tower makeup fits within the 250 GPM limit.
Pressurizes plumbing risers so toilets, hand sinks, showers, and labs keep working. Re-pressurization is coordinated with your water management (Legionella) program team.
Gives your campus an alternate treated source under the state's emergency approval, so dietary and patient hydration can continue as the health authority allows.
