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

Hydropath technology powers the HydroFLOW devices which are highly efficient, non-intrusive electronic descalers that are installed on the water pipe entering 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 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, heat exchanges, water heaters, boilers, cooling towers, 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.

How scale is prevented with Hydropath technology  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 temperature or pressure change occurs, minerals precipitate out of solution and accumulate as hard scale in pipes, in holding tanks and on heating elements.   

With HydroFlow

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

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.
