How Hydropath Technology Works

 

The difference  between  Hydropath   Technology   and    other   physical   water   conditioning technologies is our induced signal and its ability to continuously condition the liquid solution throughout an entire system. HydroFLOW’s water conditioners induce an electric signal of ±150kHz into any water pipe on which they are installed (metal or PVC).

 

Commercial Application

 

 

 

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 clusters 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 USA has a full range of water conditioners providing a chemical-free solution for the harmful effects of limescale, corrosion, bacteria, and algae within the industrial sector. These durable water conditioners are fully encapsulated and water-resistant. Designed for ease of installation, the unit is simply built around the pipe and connected via the power supply unit. Various-sized units fit pipes of all sizes.

 

 

 

 
 

 

SCALE - How Hydropath Technology Works


Hydro
FLOW water conditioners will prevent scale from building-up in pipes and on heating elements

 

The unit induces a unique electric signal into any pipe on which it is installed. 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. Common applications include plumbing systems, heat exchangers, water heaters, wells and pumps in residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors.

 

Prevention of limescale

 

• Minerals are dissolved in 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.

 

 

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

 

• When the clusters precipitate out of solution, they form stable calcite crystals that do not accumulate as hard scale.

 

Dissolving existing limescale

 

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

 

• When the clusters precipitate out of solution, they form stable calcite crystals that do not accumulate as hard scale.

 

• When calcite crystals form, they release carbon dioxide which gradually dissolves existing limescale deposits.

• Hard water is required in order to dissolve limescale deposits.

 

The cost of scale

 

In water heating and cooling systems, a 1/4" inch of scale results in a 30% loss of efficiency.

 

 
 

 

BIO - How Hydropath Technology Works

 

How Hydropath technology affects bacteria and algae

 

Bacteria and/or algae that passes through the water conditioner's ring of ferrites becomes charged by the Hydropath signal. This charge forms a hydration layer of pure water around the cell. Osmosis forces water into the bacteria and/or algae, creating osmotic pressure, which ruptures the cell membrane and causes the cell to die.

 

In addition to eradication via osmosis, the Hydropath signal interferes with the bacteria and/or algae cell membrane which causes it to perish.

 

As the Hydropath signal passes along a metal pipe, it disrupts the bacteria and/or algae clinging to the rough inner surface, gradually releasing the biofoul over time.

 

Bacteria and algae eradication

 

• A bacterium passing through the HydroFLOW unit becomes charged.

 

• Water molecules are attracted to the charged bacterium thus creating a wetting layer of pure water.

 

• Osmosis draws the pure water into the bacterium.

 

• The osmotic pressure built inside the bacterium causes it to burst and die. 

 

Removal of biofilm

 

Bacteria and algae attach to pipe and equipment surfaces and form a layer known as biofilm. Over time, the Hydropath signal causes the release of biofilm by agitating the colonies. Released biofilm is flushed or filtered out of the system.

 

 
 

 

CORROSION - How Hydropath Technology Works

 

Corrosion Reduction

 

Current passing along a metal pipe creates a coaxial magnetic field, or “skin effect,” interfering with the electro-chemical reaction necessary for corrosion to take place. Introducing Hydropath Technology to a water system inhibits internal pipe corrosion by up to 65%.

 

 
 

 

FILTRATION ENHANCEMENT - How Hydropath Technology Works

 

Filtration enhancement and reduction of backwashing

 

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 educes backwashing by a factor of three, and the amount of water used in each backwash cycle is reduced by up to half. Reduced backwashing means cost savings in water usage and maintenance downtime.

 

 
 

 

COMPARE - How Hydropath Technology Works

 

Hydropath compared to other water treatments

 

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

 

 

 

 

• A device using permanent magnets

 

• A device using electromagnets

 

• A device using consisting of a coil wrapped around a pipe, which acts as an electromagnet
