Domestic water
network balancing

The basic balancing of the domestic water network ensures that the property’s domestic hot water is distributed evenly, safely, and energy-efficiently to all apartments.

A properly balanced network improves living comfort

A properly balanced network improves living comfort, reduces water and energy consumption, and extends the lifespan of the piping.

In basic balancing, the flow rates, pressures, and temperatures of the domestic water system are balanced to match the design values. This ensures that there is no unnecessary waiting for hot water, the water pressure is suitable, and the network operates without disruption.

A well-functioning domestic water network also prevents technical problems and health risks. For example, a temperature that is too low can increase the risk of bacteria, while a flow rate that is too high increases the risk of leaks and equipment damage.

The implementation of the balancing depends on the specific characteristics of the property. The scope of the network, pipe sizing, and the type of radiator network all influence how the balancing is carried out and which components are selected.

When is the basic balancing of the domestic water network necessary?

Basic balancing is especially recommended when the property experiences:

  • Long waiting times for hot water
  • Domestic hot water radiators that are not working
  • High water or energy consumption
  • Following renovations or equipment replacements

An unbalanced network can cause flow rates that are too high near the heat source and too low further away, which increases water consumption and reduces user comfort.

Benefits of basic balancing:

  • Shorter waiting times for hot water
  • Lower water and energy consumption
  • Longer lifespan for pipes and water fixtures
  • Improved living comfort
A properly balanced network protects the condition of the piping and ensures the network functions correctly.
