Without Hydroflow system

מינרלים כמו סידן פחמני, המינרל האחראי העיקרי להיווצרות אבנית, מומסים בתמיסה כ-TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). כאשר מתרחשים שינויי טמפרטורה או לחץ, מינרלים נופלים מהתמיסה ומצטברים כאבנית קשה בצינורות, במכלי החזקה ועל גופי חימום.

The difference between Hydropath Technology and other physical water conditioning technologies is the induced signal and its ability to continuously condition the liquid solution throughout an entire system.
This process treats fluids by inducing a robust yet harmless signal of 150kHz throughout plumbing systems made of any material.

The pipe, and/or the fluid inside of it, acts as a conduit which allows the signal to propagate.
The induction of the signal prevents scale and biofilm from accumulating inside plumbing systems and gradually removes existing deposits.
This preventative action significantly reduces energy, chemical, water and maintenance costs which extends the service life of equipment and pipes.

The electric induction is performed by a special transducer connected to a ring of ferrites.
Just as an electrical wire carries current from point A to B, the water inside the pipe acts as a conductor and carries the induced electric signal throughout the entire water system.

The oscillating sine waves of the induced AC signal cause the positively and negatively-charged ions to form suspended crystals in the water, preventing them from attaching to rough surfaces. Testing shows that compared to other technologies, Hydropath Technology is many times more efficient and effective.

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 descales 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.

 

How does it work?

Without Hydroflow system

מינרלים כגון קלציום ומגנזיום (גורמי האבנית) נמצאים כמוצקים מומסים במים שלנו במצבם הטבעי. כאשר מתרחש שינויי טמפרטורה או שינוי לחץ, מינרלים שוקעים מתוך התמיסה ומצטברים כאבנית קשה.

עם מערכת Hydroflow

בנוכחות הסיגנל של טכנולוגיתHydroflow  המינרליים נצמדים לאשכולות / גרעיני התגבשות. כאשר האשכולות שוקעים מתוך התמיסה, הם יוצרים גבישים מרחפים שאינם מצטברים כאבנית קשה. ללא היווצרות אבנית חדשה, המים הזורמים דרך מערכת האינסטלציה יתחילו להתמוסס באיטיות ולהסיר את הצטברות האבנית הקיימת.

Bacteria

The Hydroflow technology has been tested in the world's leading testing institutes for the effect of a unique signal to treat and reduce infections and bacteria in various water systems.
A test carried out by SGS on the reduction and treatment of bacteria in drinking water and a test carried out by ALS laboratories on the technology's ability to prevent and kill Legionella showed a 99% reduction and treatment of bacteria.

How do we treat bacteria?

A cell of bacteria that passes through the ferrite ring of the HYDROFLOW system is electrically charged using the electromagnetic signal. As a result, a layer of pure water forms around the bacterial cell, creating an osmotic pressure on the cell. The process of comparing concentrations causes the cell to open from water and explode.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic signal creates a disturbance in the cell membrane of the bacterium and causes its killing.
The presence of the signal along the piping creates disturbances to the layer of bacteria adjacent to the surface of the inner pipe and gradually causes its release.

Biofouling treatment

Bacteria that adhere to the surface of the pipe form a layer called biofouling (or biofilm). Over time, the electro-magnetic signal of the HYDROFLOW system causes disturbances and causes the release of bacteria, which are washed out with the flow of water.

Water filtration

HOW HYDROPATH TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES FILTRATION EFFICIENCY

 The HydroFLOW water conditioners flock suspended particles that pass through the ring of ferrites, thus causing them to filter out of water systems more efficiently.
The increased filtration efficiency can reduce backwashing by a factor of three, and the amount of water used in each backwash cycle is reduced by up to 50%.
Reduced backwashing means cost savings in water usage and maintenance downtime.
In some wastewater applications, HydroFLOW can assist with polymer reduction and increased cake dryness.

Corrosion protection

As a result of the operation of the HYDROFLOW system, corrosion protection is created in the piping. The next electric current in contact with the pipe creates a disturbance to the electrochemical reaction required for the formation of corrosion. The HYDROFLOW system has the ability to reduce corrosion by up to 65%.

What is the economic result of not treating tartar?

The units are external to the piping, they do not need regular maintenance and replacement of components, long-term activity, no chemical effect on the water and are extremely environmentally friendly.

The unit is suitable for all types of piping up to a diameter of 200 mm as standard and for devices over 200 mm up to 1500 mm by special order.
No need to cut or change the piping, which allows disassembly and re-installation.

Although scale is healthy and we need to keep it in our drinking water, it certainly causes problems that cost money and first and foremost is the power consumption.

According to various professional calculations in Israel and around the world, every mm of scale on an electric heating element increases energy consumption as follows:

  • 1 mm scale - 7% overconsumption in energy.
  • 3 mm scale - Overconsumption of 22% in energy.
  • 6 mm scale - Excessive consumption of 38% in energy.
  • 10 mm scale - 48% overconsumption in energy.

Studies show a direct link between scale buildup and corrosion in drinking water and bacterial inventions and therefore treating and preventing scale buildup in water pipes significantly reduces the chance of bacteria and infections.
