McIvor home, Wanaka

When Stu and Jane McIvor (well known Southerners in the Plumbing industry) decided to build their new house, the decision as to what piping system to use for their potable and heating water was an easy one.

McIvor Plumbers & Gasfitters, Wanaka have been installing aquatherm products in all of the new builds they've been involved with for the past 12 years. Stu lists the following reasons why they use aquatherm:

* The product's ability to withstand the harsh Central Otago winters.

* Fusion welding, (no joins)

* Quiet operation : pipe wall size and minimal friction equals no discernable noise.

* Products ability to be run in the fill beneath the concrete slab. (No pipes in the ceiling space)

* aquatherm technical expertise

* aquatherm field support

* aquatherm's insulation properties

This house is a single level 390m2 dwelling featuring 4 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and plant room which swallowed up many metres of aquatherm green & blue pipe.      www.mcivorplumberswanaka.co.nz
