Hydropath (chemical-free, salt-free)
• 30,000 times more efficient than other physical water
conditioners
• Propagates the signal along the entire water system
• Works independent of flow
• Gives constant, 24-hour protection
Magnetic (chemical-free, salt-free)
• Very weak signal
• Magnetic fields only affect the ions when the water is moving
• The fields are local, so the water is only treated at a single
point
• The effect starts to decay as soon the water passes the unit
• Magnetic particles can build up, reducing effectiveness and
causing blockages
Double Coil (chemical-free, salt-free)
• Very weak signal
• High level of interference with other systems
Electrolytic (chemical-free, salt-free)
• Very weak signal
• Metal ions are released into the water
• The fields are local, so the water is only treated at a single
point
• The effect starts to decay as soon the water passes the unit,
causing a problem when there is intermittent flow
• In many devices, the copper pipe itself functions as one of the
electrodes, causing the pipe to corrode over time
Softeners and Ion Exchangers
• Removes essential calcium ions from the water
• Introduces unhealthy sodium and hydroxyl ions into the water
• Gives water a “slimy” feel
• Water becomes more corrosive
• Environmental pollution
• Costly maintenance
Chemicals (anti-scalants, flocculants and coagulants)
• Severe environmental pollution
• Extremely costly
• Need for complex storage and safety procedures
