Did you know that you cannot use the standard black rubber cables – H07RN-F eg-for human drinking water?
Except for CLEAN CABLES, other cables provide an odour, taste or colour to drinking water that is harmful to your health.
The European Union (EU), through Directive 98/83/EC, of November 3, 1998, defines the essential quality standards to be met by water intended for human consumption.
The directive aims to protect people’s health by establishing hygiene and cleanliness requirements to be met by drinking water in the European Union (EU).
It applies to all water intended for human consumption, except natural mineral waters and medicinal waters.
Member States shall ensure that drinking water:
• Does not contain a concentration of microorganisms, parasites or other substances that
represent a potential danger to human health;
• Meet the minimum requirements (microbiological, chemical and related to radioactivity) established by the directive. To meet this need, CLEAN CABLES are designed and constructed in a way that does not allow microbiological growth and does not migrate hazardous substances into the water. These comply with the approval of various European entities, such as:
• WRAS (Water Supply, Water Fittings and Regulations or Scottish Byelaws) – main drinking water supplier in the UK (United Kingdom);
• ACS (Attestation De Conformité Sanitaire) – safety certificate required for all materials in contact with drinking water, in FRANCE.
• KTW (Kunststoffe und TrinkWasser) – use and safety recommendations for materials plastics used to transport drinking water, issued by the DVGW, the German agency for water and gas.
The use of these CLEAN CABLES is especially dedicated for submersible pump motor feeders. They can be installed at depths of up to 250 meters in both dirty water and dirty water.
