LDO (Lint, Dust, and Oil)

LDO stands for Lint, Dust, and Oil, which are common contaminants in water and air systems that can affect plumbing performance, equipment efficiency, and overall system cleanliness. In plumbing and HVAC systems, LDO can accumulate in filters, pipes, and fittings, leading to clogs, reduced flow rates, or increased wear on components. Regular cleaning, filtration, and maintenance are essential to control LDO levels and ensure that plumbing systems operate efficiently. For water systems, installing sediment filters and regularly flushing the system help prevent LDO buildup, protecting valves, pumps, and other equipment from damage.
