ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION AND AFFORDIBILTY

  • Volume of water that is being treated divided into the cost R15 000/3 million litres of water over 5 years = R0.005 (a fraction of a cent per litre)
  • Assess the water usage – take the time to do it
  • Appliances – Geysers, kettles, dishwashers and washing machines
  • Electrical usage
  • Major cost – pipes and home maintenance
  • Cleaning and repair costs – see Merusonline
  • With the savings the cost of a ring is amortized in one or two years.
  • Industrial down time and replacement costs – incalculable.
  • Pumps, casings and fittings – all very time consuming and costly

MERUS Training

MERUS TRAINING MANUAL (Part 1)

Description : The MERUS RING is a water treatment device.

Function : To render water free of harmful elements and metals, eliminate bacteria and remove biofouling and biomass (growth) from the inner surface of waterways, dissolve rust and halt/reverse corrosion of water pipes, appliances, plant and equipment.

Water Content : All water has matter within it which varies based on where or what the water source is. Whatever the matter is – be it iron, sodium, calcium or magnesium (there are hundreds of variables) each element has a definite vibration – called molecular oscillation. Each one unique to a body of matter – likened to the human finger print.

Merus Technology : Merus GMBH has identified the frequencies of all the matter found in water from all around the world. These unique molecular oscillations have been captured, recorded and electronically modulated and then transferred and embodied into an aluminium carrier called a MERUS RING. The molecular oscillations are emitted into the water travelling in a water pipe and are attracted to the identical molecular structure of the matter they match, in the water, however, the molecular oscillation emitted by a Merus Rings are modulated to a lattice oscillation, and they disturb the molecular structure of the matter to such a degree that the matter is disarticulated and fragmented. In a fragmented state the matter is no longer a body and is rendered ineffective.

(See brochure We Run Rings Around Corrosion – page 7 – 12)

The importance of understanding the Theoretic Background of the Merus Principle is necessary to know for the purpose of solving problems in industries that rely heavily on chemicals and have severe blockage and corrosive conditions which are extremely expensive and difficult to reverse.

(See brochures Merus at Sea and Molecular Oscillation Technology)

The Merus video “How the Merus Ring Works” is there to orientate and educate users as to the process and application.

Initiating and introducing a client to Merus.

  • The water industry is overrun with market related solutions that are designed to make a crisis situation a profit-making fad and the real truth about water is basically unknown.
  • The inner habitat of water pipes is a very scary and potentially hazardous environment for the incubation of microbiological bacteria and biomass that has gone unnoticed and basically ignored by the water users (every one of us) due to complacency and ignorance.
  • Very few people know what lime scale is and not many people have first-hand knowledge of all the elements and contaminants that exist in water. (all water)
  • Naturally those who have recently installed boreholes due the panic of not having a constant Municipal supply will have a greater potential challenge as borehole water is untreated and contains all of the raw elements, pathogens and very hard water conditions unknown to the layman.
  • Merus is the solution required in all cases. However, it is highly important to know exactly what we are dealing with.
  • The following method is designed to assist with the full understanding of the client’s water supply source, usage in volume and application, and the quality. It is known as the SPIN Technique.
  • SPIN stands for S – Situation, P – Problem, I – Impact and N – Need to resolve the problem.
  • S – Situation. Investigate and write down everything whilst discussing this with the client.
  • P – Problem/s. Lime scale, water hardness, bad taste, colour of rust, blocked pipes, dirty kettle, blocked tap or shower outlets, blocked washing machine or dishwasher. Recent burst geyser or water heating takes too long. High electrical cost.
  • I – Impact. Burst geyser or low water pressure or allergies like hay fever, sinus blocks or irritations or burning eyes or urinary tract infections. Most human ailments stem from unhealthy water and appliance destruction from lime scale or rust or both.
  • N – Need to resolve all of the above – for LIFE – a Merus Ring

All water that contains elements like iron, calcium, sodium and nitrates is hard water. It is dangerous to consume and is not pleasant to use domestically – it must be softened and the only way to do it without very expensive chemicals – which do not work, and they pollute our bodies, homes and lives – is with a Merus Ring. Micro-biological induced corrosion is destructive.

All internal pipe habitats contain microbiological organisms growing in abundance – right under our noses and we need to clear it out for good. How? – with a Merus Ring.

Features and Benefits of a MERUS RING.

  • The same principle of Molecular Oscillation allows a Merus Ring to function without the need for a power source. It generates its own power to run 24/7.
  • It is guaranteed for 5 years.
  • It is non-invasive and very easy to self-install.
  • It reduces the need for chemicals and works over much larger areas than other treatment methods.
  • It requires no maintenance or supervision.
  • It eliminates the need to dispense or dose with chemicals.
  • It emits no Co2 into the atmosphere and is non-toxic.
  • There is no pollution or waste material to dispose of.
  • It works 24/7 – every millisecond for a minimum of 5 years.
  • It can be recharged for 35% of the original cost – the five year warranty is re-instated. (subject to condition)
  • It addresses lime scale, pathogens, bacteria, bio-fouling, biomass, every element and contaminant present in water, eliminates disease, side effects of allergies and Merus Water is completely safe for human consumption.

So, let’s see – it is totally green and environmentally friendly and it adds 15% soluble oxygen to the water it treats. Is there a better way to treat water for your family than with Champagne Water?

Every conceivable element in your water is included in the Merus Database and is being treated – but your pipes have been filling up with microbiological growth in the lime scale habitat for years – it takes 3 to 6 months for changes to be initiated. It does not happen overnight. It takes time to break down the lime scale and disperse the biomass growing in the habitat you take for granted. When it is broken down – where does it go? Where do the solids go and then what does the ring do to the pathogens and dissolved solids? Is it safe to consume?   

Yes – it is completely safe because the bacteria are disarticulated to Nano particles and any debris is flushed out of the system. How? Through the toilets, showers, baths, taps and appliances. Within a few months – without noticing it – it happens. The water condition will change extensively – it will taste better, it will become much softer, (so soft you will feel the difference when using shampoo) but the biggest benefit is the water pressure and the geyser/s become a lot more efficient. This product saves you much money on long term maintenance on appliances, geysers and internal pipes. (The geyser heating time is much quicker and noticeable)

Financial Considerations.

Let’s explore the actual cost of a Merus Ring and the cost of cleaning the water over the period of the guarantee.

  • The average volume per home, over 5 years, is 500,000 litres.
    This is 269 Litres per day – 60 l/person plus waste.
  • A Merus Ring (Estimate) R15 000 by 500 000 litres is R0.03 per litre – uses no power, no chemicals, no supervision, no maintenance or replacement of parts, treats everything in the water including rust and corrosion (underwater whilst in use) creates longevity of everything touched by the water and enhances your health.
  • 03 cents per litre. This negligible – for a total solution. An empty plastic bottle costs R0.90 – R9.99. The interior surface of any item manufactured in plastic is dangerous apart from the responsibility to the planet and our oceans.
  • Alternate Costs.
    Bottled water from Super Markets or water shops
    99 per litre Super markets, filthy and hard
    R5,50 per litre from Water shops (tap + R/O = Hard dead unsafe water into dirty plastic containers.

 

Plus you have to drive there to buy and collect it R????

  • Home Filtration and R/O.
    Membranes and maintenance R 3,000.00 per annum.
    Initial outlay from R9,000 – R45,000.00
    Water condition: R/O is dead water and hard and it usually goes into a dirty water container – Under or on counter filters are only at the source and the cost breakdown is R3.00 per litre excluding having to go to a supplier to buy filtration components. Every method of water purification is a lot more expensive and not as efficient or healthy. Not one manufacturer can tell you what they are treating and they CANNOT treat dissolved solids like Iron, Magnesium, Boron, Calcium or Sodium ETC., they only filter solid material.

The cost saving on appliance repairs and geysers justifies Merus.
The actual reduction of your water heating bill will pay for a ring.

  • 1 Millimetre of Lime scale on a geyser element will take 14% more power to heat the same volume of water – in every geyser there is a pile of lime scale and the elements are caked – after 6 months your geyser will be free of lime scale. You will physically experience better efficiency.
  • Many allergies and acidic ailments are caused by your water
  • Legionella’s disease is found in old age homes and hospitals in the water storage systems. The symptoms are identical to Covid19, and responsible for many deaths all over the world. The cost of the above is inestimable.
  • Industrially and Agriculturally the replacement of pumps, valves, piping, heat exchangers, boilers & heating systems, chilling and cooling systems, R/O plants and filtration systems is horrendous, and the other factor is labour, down time and the renewal of ineffective preventative methods. Not to mention the loss of production which also an inestimable cost factor. If an irrigation system goes down because of lime scale blockages the crop yield is affected – what cost can be placed on this daily occurrence.

We have case studies that show large surfaces and primary industrial fronts of expensive equipment that display examples of reversed rust and corrosion. Biofouling and biomass accumulation in factories is largely due to the water being unclean or from a contaminated source – we have the only technology that can address most, if not all, of the factors that create the pollution.

MERUS AT SEA

Explaining how the merus ring works

MERUS TRAINING MANUAL (Part 2)

FEQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. (FAQ)

  • (Q) On what kind of pipe does the ring work?
    (A) On any and all kinds of pipes, metal, rubber, pvc, plastics and eurothane, cement and reinforced hose.

 

  • (Q) Can it fit any size pipe?
    (A) From ½” (16 mm) to any size needed.

 

  • (Q) Does it go inside the pipe?
    (A) It fits around the outer diameter of a pipe – it is non-invasive and there is no need for cutting or fitting into a pipe It never touches the water physically. See drawing.

 

  • (Q) How is a Merus Ring installed?
    (A) Residential Rings are simple and easy to fit using a strip of insulation tape around the pipe to ensure a snug fit and an allen key, it can be fitted in 5 minutes. The installation instructions are in the box. Commercial rings will need one of our technical representatives to do the assessment and determine optimum placement/s. The blue arrow determines the direction of flow.

 

  • (Q) Does the Merus Ring filter out substances from the water?
    (A) Soluble substances in the fluid will not vanish, they will stay dissolved but existing deposits will be solved and flushed out of the system. Additional filters should be fitted to ensure the control of particles or solid material.

 

  • (Q) How does a Merus Ring cope with a high flow rate?
    (A) We have different sizes and strengths for all situations.

 

  • (Q) Can the Merus Technology operate at high temperatures.
    (A) It can operate at 300 degrees C (water) the external temperature of the pipe should not exceed 90 degrees C and a pre-requisite is that the fluid is in a liquid state.

 

  • (Q) Over what distance does the effect work effectively?
    (A) In an underwater environment without electrical current or atmospheric interference, we have an effective application up to 30 Km. In a factory environment it is unknown exactly but much shorter.

 

  • (Q) Are there any side effects for our health?
    (A) No, the water treated is not effected chemically and no negative side effects have been reported in 23 years – quite the contrary is true – by avoiding biofouling and corrosive elements in your drinking water can only be considered good for your heath.

 

  • (Q) How can I monitor or measure to prove the effect.
    (A) There are many methods to monitor the effect kindly refer to the literature enclosed or go to our website Merus.Africa and see page 2 – How to monitor the effect.

 

  • (Q) Is the Merus technology environmentally friendly?
    (A) Completely, there are no emission, no electromagnetic or electric fields involved and the changes effect the molecular structures of the elements without power, heat or fusion.

 

  • (Q) How does a Merus Ring work without power?
  • (A) A ring is constantly active with molecular frequency vibrating within the body of the unit. It houses and unfathomable amount of silent energy within. This molecular internal movement and the ambient temperature of the environment combined provide the power to emit signals inward – through the walls of the pipe into the water flowing in that pipe. The molecular oscillations are present in all matter. This is why a Merus Ring can be placed anywhere and it will work 24/7 even in the middle of the desert.

 

  • (Q) What happens after 5 years, when the warrantee has expired.
    (A) Your ring/s will be sent to Germany to be recharged – you will have a ‘performance and insurance’ policy for a period of 5 years which covers all cost of replacement so you have the protection of Merus Technology for life.   

MERUS TRAINING MANUAL (Part 3)

This is known as BIOFOULING which is largely found in cooling loops in Industrial applications but it is the biggest and most common internal situation of a piping system that has been in existence for some time. All internal pipe walls will be coated primarily with lime scale and then inside this world, a new habitat is created wherein other organisms take hold and grow. The process of redox and rust becomes a factor and the biofouling created by biomass takes over the inner world of the pipe. What does this create?

  • Biofouling in an Industrial or domestic (residential) environ creates the same problems only to lesser or greater degree. The pipes get blocked and are subject to corrosion.

 

  • The water traveling through this environment becomes contaminated and is constantly dirty (floating particles), contains high levels of bacteria and is transferring this biofouling process to the rest of the environment. Appliances and heavy plant become ineffective and need more maintenance and repairs than normal.

 

  • Biofouling creates blockages which need to be cleared, this means the plant needs to be shut down, the water supply needs to be closed off, the section of pipe needs to be replaced (or many sections) and then when pipe sections are opened the joins are usually rusted and the flanges break away causing more manpower to become involved and another new pipe must be installed and all of this it takes time.

 

  • Biofouling repair effects the following in any situation:
    – alters the production level – cost to company
    Labour – in-house or external repair company – cost to company
    Material and spare parts – cost to company
    Management and supervision – cost to company
    Crisis management and alternate supply arrangements – cost to company
    Unknown damages done to inline plant and control components.

 

  • When a water system is plagued by biofouling the solution has been to rely on chemicals and try to ignore the growing pressure in the pipes and the only solution (other than stripping and dismantling everything) is Merus Technology to begin a process of undoing the lime scale that is clinging to the inner walls of the pipes.

 

  • During the process of deforming the lime scale the micro-bacterial contamination is neutralized and the process of rust formation is reversed. Corrosion is slowed down and in many cases reversed (unless it is too far advanced)

 

  • Chemicals need to be dispensed and dosing is manual. Apart from the fact that chemicals need separate safe storage they are harmful and hazardous to the employees and the environment at large. Unfortunately, there is another truth – they are ineffective and only work at the point of input. The rest of the plant and home systems is at risk. All of this needs manpower to manage, supervise and finance. All departments play a role in the attempt to control biofouling – it is time to assist them.

 

  • See the video “How the MERUS RING Works.” Water is contaminated regardless where it comes from and where it goes to because it has to travel in a contained and walled canal – humans invented pipes. Very useful and innovative and very effective and well thought out but made to be buried and unseen. We could have made transparent pipes and let them run in visual areas in plain sight – where they could be inspected daily, but that is not the case.

 

  • The most economic and sensible solution for the massive and defenceless conditions of biofouling, rust, corrosion, water softening alternative, bacteria neutralizing, and a constant sustainability of good quality water and a major improvement in the running water conditions of your factory, institution or home – is the Merus Solution.
