SCALE

How Hydropath technology acts as a descaler which prevents the build-up of scale in pipes and equipment

Hydropath technology powers the HydroFLOW water conditioners which are highly efficient, non-intrusive electronic descalers that are installed on the cold water line in your home or business. It treats fluids by inducing a robust yet harmless signal of 150kHz throughout plumbing systems made of any material, including PEX and PVC.

These electric waves cause mineral ions to form suspended clusters that turn into stable crystals in solution when temperature or pressure changes occur. The suspended crystals will prevent scale from building up in pipes and on heating elements, thus increasing heat transfer efficiency, lowering maintenance costs and reducing chemical usage. Standard applications include plumbing systems, water heaters, boilers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, belt filter presses, wells and pumps. Popular sectors include residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural.

Unlike other products that treat liquids at a single point in a system and whose impact starts to diminish immediately after that point, HydroFLOW provides continuous water conditioning – ensuring a consistent and ongoing effect. Also, due to its unique, non-intrusive design, HydroFLOW doesn’t add any chemicals to your water supply while inhibiting pipe corrosion and eradicating bacteria and algae.

Furthermore, while it protects your plumbing and appliances, it is also easy to install, requires no maintenance or wasted real estate. A residential grade HydroFLOW device costs about $1 in electricity per year. An industrial grade HydroFLOW device costs between $10 to $20 in electricity per year.
