HDPE pipe
With the recent updates to ASTM D2239 and ASTM D2737 for the use of polyethylene pipe in water wells and municipal water services, Endot's High Performance Bi-Modal PE4710 pipe and tubing provides the user a 25% increase in pressure per SDR compared to manufacturers using PE3608/PE3408 HDPE resins. Municipal water systems using either Copper Tube Size (CTS) SDR 9 or Iron Pipe Size (IPS) SDR 7 HDPE will receive an increase to 250 psi as compared to 200 psi. There is no change to the wall thickness of the pipe and all current pipe fittings remain compatible. Endot's PE4710 is NSF-14 & 61 certified and meets AWWA C-901 standards for potable water applications.

Algae control
BioSafe Systems has introduced GreenClean Liquid 2.0, which can be used to treat filamentous, planktonic, and cyanobacteria algae in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, water features, irrigation systems, and all aquaculture applications. Active ingredients include 27% Hydrogen Peroxide and 2% Peroxyacetic Acid. The product's ability to destroy algae comes from this unique formulation. PAA and hydroxyl free radicals break down algae cell walls and annihilate the cell from the inside out.
