Aqua electric limescale dissolver is mounted to the incoming main water supply pipe, where it generates a powerful electromagnetic field between the poles with a frequency between 7000 and 14000 Hz. When water flows through the field, the existing iron particles are set in motion at high speed, breaking down lime into very fine particles and preventing it from creating deposits. The electromagnetic field is always 100% effective, as long it is continuously supplied with electricity. The energy consumption for powering Aqua products is negligible (Aqua 2000 - €2/ annually; Aqua 3000 – €15/annually; Aqua 5000 - €25/annually). The Aqua dissolver contains no movable parts and is totally maintenance free. The product is completely sealed; it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and for both new build and retrofit purpose.

Aqua products can be mounted on all types of pipes, such as copper, polyethylene, galvanized and stainless steel. Aqua protects multiple pipes and equipment connected from one point of installation. During the fitting process, there is no need to cut pipes, making the entire installation easy and fast, usually done in less than 1 hour (Aqua 3000 & Aqua 5000).

The easiest way to detect hard water is to look for limescale marks on sensitive surfaces such as glass and metal. Usually, the white marks can turn brown or dark in colour over time and are very hard to remove with cleaning products. Due to lower pressure in the pipes, washers in taps will need replacing more often. Many times, however, the effects of limescale deposits can go unnoticed. This is sometimes the case for heat exchangers, valves, water pumps, heat pumps, cooling towers and central heating systems. In such cases, when invisible limescale is left untreated, it can prove highly costly for the business.

Yes, during operation, calcium remains suspended in the water and runs out through the drain instead of creating deposits, leading to a lower surface tension and "softer" water. Aqua protects all pipework and connected equipment, and brings about this change throughout the building where it is installed. Apart from preventing limescale build-ups, the system contributes to easier and faster cleaning, less frequent repairs, healthier equipment and prolonged equipment lifespan.

Yes, Aqua will dissolve any existing limescale deposits. The time needed to remove old buildup depends on its quantity and grade, as well the hardness of the water. When the water is harder than 100 mg/l of calcium concentration, some parts of deposits may remain present over a longer period. In heavily limescale-affected installations, the Aqua dissolver may initially cause discoloured water. Loose flakes of limescale may temporarily clog strainers and nozzles in heavily affected pipe systems, hence it is important to clean them few times during the first year of Aqua’s operation.

Water tests are not accurate for measuring Aqua’s efficiency as its technology does not change the structure of water, meaning all minerals and calcium are still present in the water, even after the treatment. During the process calcium (lime) is kept suspended, while minerals run out through the drain instead of creating deposits. Aqua creates a soft water surface that is beneficial for pipes and equipment, but treated water still contains calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are beneficial for the body. Your Aqua-unit will give rich taste to beverages and food and it's great for the environment.

As long as Aqua is connected to the electricity, the LED lamp will light from the bottom to the top, enabling 24/7 limescale protection. In case of malfunction, the LED will flash.

Implementation of Aqua’s powerful limescale protection technology contributes to significant improvement of materials management. It enables equipment performance at maximum efficiency and reduction of energy consumption and maintenance costs. Aqua requires no interruption of water supply while it prevents equipment damage and premature aging.

If the property is in a hard water area, there is a real possibility that the central heating system will be filled with water from the local water source. Central heating is a closed system, where water circulates. If there is hard water inside in the central heating system, limescale will build up with time, many times unnoticed by users. The water inside the central heating system will turn into a dirty, oily-looking liquid containing sludge and debris. Over time, this will lead to weaker heating performance, pipe leakage and premature aging caused by scale and corrosion. Other equipment that will fail under such conditions includes boilers, water pumps, and valves. Effects may include noise pollution, blocked parts, poor performance, and high energy and maintenance bills. Protect your central heating system with Aqua for the best heating efficiency and a strong defence against leakage, unnecessary repairs, and high energy bills.

Heat pumps are highly likely to have issues with limescale. Even if a heat pump functions normally, efficiency will be reduced by limescale deposits inside of many tiny pipes and on the heating elements in the heat pump. Descaling it cost significant amount of the money. Considering that the average cost for a heat pump is in the €10,000 range, investing in Aqua is a smart decision: for a fraction of the cost, it secures protection of the entire building, ensuring 100% efficiency of the heat pump. Many heat pump producers in Scandinavia offer a bundle installation of their heat pumps together with Aqua, because the product ensures their pumps' uninterrupted functionality and prolonged durability.

There are no hidden costs associated with use of Aqua products. Because Aqua is powered by electricity, it is designed to consume an insignificant amount of energy, as follows:

• Aqua 2000 - €1-2/annually

• Aqua 3000 - €15/annually

• Aqua 5000 - €25/annually

ROI is achieved already within the first year of using an Aqua product, thanks to the high rate savings that go with installation:

• Up to 50% lower energy consumption

• Up to 30% lower use of cleaning products

• 2-3 times longer lifespan of connected equipment

• A maintenance-free technology with no need for service or repairs

• Less frequent demand for repairs of connected equipment and pipes, due to lower wear and tear

• Easier and more efficient water management, with significant reduction of water leaks

• Cutting risk for production stoppage due to unexpected repairs and leaks associated to issues with limescale

Water softeners are actually very expensive to operate, with regular costs for salt feed for a bar or restaurant on average €150-200/annually. Mandatory maintenance comes to €100/annually, plus costly charges for the water excess internal salt regeneration process, which often occurs on a daily basis. For larger premises such as hotels and other businesses/industries, there can be tonnes of salt and huge quantities of water used on a monthly basis, with running costs of thousands of euros. Aqua is significantly less costly.

Aqua enables up to 50% improvement in energy efficiency, thanks to its ability to keep limescale deposits away and allow any equipment connected to the water supply pipes to operate with optimal efficiency. With just 1 cm of scale inside pipes and heating elements, energy consumption by such equipment can be increased by 55%. Preventing limescale buildup means saving your business a small fortune and making significantly contributions to improved cost efficiency.

If hard water is present in your water supply, it is impossible to achieve complete energy efficiency. Limescale deposits will always have negative impact on energy efficiency. Aqua dissolver is the most effective prevention measure against scale deposits. Equipment and machinery will function with full capacity, using minimum possible electricity for their operations.

Aqua technology directly contributes to significant carbon footprint reductions. The fact is that limescale deposits in your equipment mean that energy consumption increases proportionally as equipment’s efficiency is weaker and demands more energy for work. 1 cm of lime deposits results in a 55% increase of energy consumption. If we can prevent limescale deposits inside of pipes and heating elements, we can substantially reduce energy demand, and with it, carbon footprint.

Aqua’s patented technology is completely eco-friendly. During the dissolving process, calcium (lime) remains suspended in the water and runs out through the drain instead of creating deposits. The entire process is both effective and environmentally friendly; it is free from salt and chemical substances, and the taste and quality of the water are not affected. Aqua’s main sustainability contributions include:

• Up to 50% energy reduction

• 25% - 30% less use of cleaning and disinfection products

• Equipment and pipe lifespan is prolonged 2-3 times

• Significantly lower scrappage of equipment and pipes

• Water can be used normally after the treatment

Implementing Aqua technology in your business process significantly improves circularity and materials management:

• Aqua will not change the composition of your water. It is instantly ready for consumption, with no need for additional treatment.

• By preventing premature aging and scrappage of equipment and pipes, Aqua extends their lifespan by 2-3 times the ordinary expectancy.

• Aqua is a chemical- and salt-free technology that will not produce groundwater pollution.

• Aqua improves operational productivity, with reduction of material losses

• You will see significant reduction of carbon emissions, based on your equipment’s considerably lower demand for energy.

No, Aqua technology is completely eco-friendly and does not change the composition of your water. Calcium (lime) remains suspended in the water, and runs through drains instead of creating deposits. Since no chemicals or salt additives are used in the process, the structure of the water remains unchanged. All minerals retained during the dissolving process, which ensures that food and beverages remain healthy and tasty.

Yes. The main cause of bad odour in toilets and urinals is the harmful bacteria that set on the scale buildups inside of water supply pipes. No cleaning product can permanently solve this odour issue. With Aqua, sanitary pipes will stay free from scale buildup, preventing bacteria from developing and causing odour in the first place. Cleaning and maintaining washrooms and urinals becomes easier, faster and cheaper with Aqua.

Yes, despite Aqua’s powerful limescale protection, it is necessary to regularly clean bathroom and kitchen, and other sensitive areas in businesses. A simple explanation is because your water will still contain minerals, even after treatment with Aqua. Splashed water in the bathroom and kitchen may also be mixed with dirt, food, and other oily substances that are prone to “settling” on surfaces and mixing with minerals in solution. Cleaning is much easier and faster after Aqua water treatment, however: on the top of the other benefits, you find that you require 25% - 30% less cleaning products with Aqua-treated water. There will be no dark marks in the bath, toilet and other sensitive surfaces.

Aqua lowers the surface tension of water, which makes for easier lathering. You should reduce your use of detergents and cleaning products by 25% - 30%. If you don’t reduce the dosage of cleaning products, despite this manufacturer's recommendation, the result will be excess suds. There is a real risk that foam overload will settle on glasses and cutlery in the dishwasher, shower walls and washed clothes. There is high possibility then that the excess of foam will create white film that is can be mistaken for limescale marks. It is extremely important to reduce use of all types of cleaning products, washing detergents, personal cleaning and shampoo products by 25-30%, to guarantee spotlessly clean dishes and sensitive surfaces.

If the water supply is protected with Aqua, the kettle will be protected as well, so long as the water is collected from a connected tap. However, a kettle produces very high temperatures when heating water, up to 100°C. As a kettle is a closed system—the water is not running through it, as is the case in other equipment—it needs to be completely emptied of unused water. If there is any hot water left over in your kettle, it will gradually cool down, and will create limescale deposits on the walls over the course of time. This has nothing to do with Aqua’s functionality or protection ability: the fact is that calcium is very aggressive when it is continuously heated to high temperatures and cooled in a small closed area. Get rid of the excess of hot water after you finish preparing your hot drink, and there will be no issues with your kettle.
