How Hydropath Technology As Descaler

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.

Our Solutions Cover A Wide Range Of Residential, Commercial And Industrial Applications

Homes, Pools, Ponds and Spas

The HydroFLOW k40 Aquaklear is designed to improve the water quality of pools, hot tubs and spas, and also ponds and other water features. Reducing bacterial levels and improving filtration in pools, spas and ponds leads to clearer and more pleasant water, a reduction in maintenance regimes and a reduction in backwash, making the them both more pleasant to use and less costly to run.

The k40 fits easily around existing pipework, generally on the inlet to the pump and before the filter. The unit can be fitted around pipes of up to 63mm diameter and of any material with no plumbing required.

Commercial Water Parks | Pools and Spas

Ensuring that water quality is at the highest level is an ongoing battle for operators of pools of any size, from Olympic pools and water parks to household spas. In any pool the two main challenges are maintaining efficient filtration of the water, and keeping the bacterial count low without adding too much chlorine.

HydroFLOW® uses non-chemical flocculation to help existing filters work more effectively. The water becomes clearer, and the filter itself becomes easier to clean. This means that the amount of water wasted on backwashing – and the energy and chemicals used to heat and treat it – can be dramatically reduced. Reductions in the total amount of backwashing and the savings on water, sewage and chemical charges can be huge. Additionally, as chloramine levels are lowered, the “Swimming Pool Smell” and eye irritation is also reduced.

Oil and Gas | Mining

While many industries suffer from the problems of mineral scaling on pipelines, heat exchangers and other equipment, the mining industry is particularly vulnerable to the formation of scale due to the challenging nature of the industry and the high levels of minerals present in the water or slurry. Many types of scaling can occur in the pipelines transporting the product, blocking pipes and valves, increasing the pressure and reducing the flow. It is also a common problem in pumps driving the fluid, in cooling towers and heat exchangers, and in process lines transporting limewater or other additives.

HydroFLOW® units offer a simple non-chemical treatment for the problem of hard mineral deposits. Without the need to cut into pipelines or stop production, HydroFLOW® units fit around an existing pipe and transmit a unique electrical signal into the water. The signal prevents minerals from forming as a hard encrustation on surfaces and instead form as powder-like crystals that are washed out by the flow of the fluid.

Power Generation

HydroFLOW® units use non-chemical water treatment to address three problematic aspects of cooling tower operation: limescale on heat exchangers and tower surfaces, the level of blow-down required and build-up of biofilm and algae. Reducing limescale means that heat transfer is no longer blocked and keeps exchangers operating at maximum efficiency, preventing wasted energy costs. Flocculating particulates in the water improves filtration, reducing blow down levels and so saving on water and sewage costs.

HydroFLOW® can also help address biofilm, allowing a reduction in the use of expensive chemicals.

Agriculture and Food Production

Like all industries, the food industry requires careful management of water systems, requiring that they remain clear of limescale and biofilm to remain at optimum efficiency. With food production, there is an additional constraint on the amount of chemical treatment that can be added to the water.

HydroFLOW® electronic water conditioners offer a chemical-free approach to treating both existing and new limescale, and to addressing biofilm. Unlike water softeners there are no ongoing replenishment costs, and boilers can operate on unsoftened water without the problems of hard scale. HydroFLOW® units can also help with the treatment of waste water from food processes, reducing the need for chemical flocculants. Installation is simple, with no system modification required. HydroFLOW® units operate maintenance-free 24/7, providing maximum performance no matter the throughput.

Waste Water Treatment

Two issues that are particularly problematic in the treatment of waste water are the build-up of deposits of struvite or other scaling, and the need to add expensive polymer flocculants to ensure the effectiveness of the dewatering process.

HydroFLOW Protects Your Investments

Even though most of us aren’t usually aware of problems like limescale buildup, bio-fouling and flocculation, these issues come at considerable cost to homes, small businesses, commercial and industrial operators and our environment. HydroFLOW is specifically designed to protect you against these costs by not only preventing scale buildup and other issues but also removing any existing scale. HydroFLOW can be used to protect a range of residential, commercial and industrial applications, such as water heaters, steam generators, boilers, industrial chillers and appliances, as well as pools and spas.

How HydroFLOW Technology Works

The difference between HydroFLOW Technology and other physical water treatment technologies is the induced signal and its ability to continuously treat 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.

HydroFLOW Canada has a full range of water treatment systems providing a chemical-free solution for the harmful effects of scale, corrosion, bacteria, and algae. These durable water treatment systems are fully encapsulated and water-resistant. Designed for non-intrusive installations, the unit is simply built around the pipe and connected via the power supply unit. Various-sized units fit pipes of all sizes.

Minerals such as calcium carbonate, the mineral primarily responsible for limescale formation, are dissolved in the solution as TDS (Total Dissolved Solids).

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.

How Existing Scale Is Removed With HydroFLOW Technology

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.
