Water Quality Requirements for UHP Water Jet Systems

Water quality is very important to the success of your waterjet cutting operation. Poor water quality can dramatically reduce the lifespan of waterjet components such as seals, orifices and check valves, eating into your profits and productivity.

Before you install a water jet system, have your water tested by a commercial company that specializes in water filtration.  If your water does not meet the water quality requirements for waterjet systems, they can advise you on how to properly filter it.

See Jet Edge's waterjet system water quality requirements.

Before You Buy a Water Jet System, It's a Good Idea to Visit the Manufacturer

You've decided to buy a water jet system to increase your productivity, banish HAZ and slag, and rid your shop of those nasty plasma fumes. What a great decision!

So now what?

You can check out the waterjet machines at FABTECH and visit some waterjet shops to see their systems, but you also should consider visiting your waterjet manufacturer and meeting the people who will build your machine and service your equipment.

Jet Edge would love to have you in for a visit to our manufacturing facility in St. Michael, MN, US.A  (that's right - U.S.A.!).  If you decide to buy a Jet Edge waterjet system, we'll even reimburse the cost of your flight up to $1,000 U.S.

Contact your regional Jet Edge representative today to set up a tour.

We hope to see you soon!  Here's a map to help you find your way:

Jet Edge Salutes Small Waterjet Shops and Mobile Waterjet Contractors

In honor of National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day, Jet Edge salutes the small waterjet shops and mobile waterjetting contractors who use our products around the world.

Laura and Jose of Arro-Jet.  Read Story.

Right now in an industrial park near you, a small water jet shop is busy making the things that make things happen - aircraft components, auto parts, trim dies, and everything in between. They are waterjet cutting just about every material you can think of, including steel, titanium, Inconel®, plastics, fiberglass, stone, tile, and glass to name a few.

Out in the oil fields and mines, mobile waterjet contractors are using waterjets to safely cold cut pipes and storage tanks, and to improve production in mines and wells.

And in shops you might drive by every day, OEM waterjet integrators are busy incorporating UHP waterjet technology into robotic waterjet cells, water slitting systems and water jet food processing lines.

Gary of JDA Aqua Cutting. Read Story

In your daily life, you use countless items that our customers helped make.  You walk across their terrazzo floors.  You grip a steering wheel that was cut by their trim die.  You fly safely home in an aircraft built with components they cut.  You gas up your car with fuel they helped produce, process and store.

Hats off to the waterjet shops and waterjet contractors who make things happen!
