Plumbing Systems for Drinking Water

Drinking water is an essential part of life

Everyone needs water: plants, animals and of course people too. The average person in a private household consumes about 250 litres of fresh water per day.

This is why hygienic drinking water delivery is crucial for our health and quality of life. With this in mind, Uponor are on hand to supply a safe and reliable plumbing solution for a hygienically flawless supply.

Drinking water systems and hygiene

Uponor pipe and fittings fulfill local standards
