How scale is prevented with HydroFLOW

Without HydroFLOW

Minerals such as calcium carbonate, the mineral primarily responsible for limescale formation, are dissolved in the solution as TDS (total dissolved solids)

When the clusters precipitate out of solution due to a temperature or pressure change, they form stable calcite crystals that do not accumulate as hard scale on the inner surface of pipes, holding tanks or heating elements. This results in the effective prevention of limescale buildup and eliminates the need for a water softener.

When temperature or pressure change occurs, minerals precipitate out of solution and accumulate as hard scale in pipes, in holding tanks and on heating elements.

How HydroFLOW Removes Existing Scale

When the Hydropath signal is present, the dissolved minerals combine to form loosely held clusters.

As mentioned above, Hydropath technology treats fluids by inducing a robust yet harmless signal of 150kHz throughout plumbing systems made of any material, including PEX and PVC. When the Hydropath signal is present, dissolved minerals combine to form loosely held clusters.

However, with Hydropath technology, when the clusters precipitate out of solution, they form stable calcite crystals that do not accumulate as hard scale. Since hard scale no longer accumulates, liquid flowing in the pipe contributes to the removal of existing scale deposits.

The Cost of Scale

It’s important to understand that scale buildup in pipe systems, heating and cooling elements, and appliances come at a significant cost. First of all, it compromises energy-efficiency. In fact, in water heating and cooling systems, a quarter of an inch of scale buildup results in a 38 percent loss of efficiency - and that means your energy bills increase substantially.

Also, limescale buildup in pipe systems can damage the pipes and cause leaks. The resulting costs of repairing or replacing the pipe system can be substantial. Furthermore, depending on where the leak or leaks were located, there can be severe water damage to the building, including mold growth.

Limescale buildup can also shorten the life of appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, coffeemakers and more. Scale buildup on heating elements, as well as on other parts of the appliances, can damage components, leading to costly repairs and shorter functional life.

HydroFLOW protects your property

Even though most of us aren’t usually aware of a problem like scale buildup, it’s an issue that comes at a considerable cost.

HydroFLOW is specifically designed to protect you against these costs by not only preventing scale buildup but also removing any existing scale.

HydroFLOW can be used to protect a range of residential applications, such as water heaters and appliances, as well as pools and spas. When it comes to commercial and industrial applications, it can be used for cooling towers, chillers, filtration systems, water features, steam boilers, belt filter presses, heat exchangers and more.
