The Science of Aqua

Aqua's powerful cutting-edge technology prevents the creation of limescale deposits while it dissolves existing scale. The entire process is completely automated and maintenance-free, with no hidden costs. It saves money and resources by enabling limescale-free pipes and equipment sustainably.

Our products are eco-friendly, free from chemicals and salt, ensuring they will never change your water quality. Aqua is designed to faithfully serve users and benefit the natural world.

 Protection Process

Aqua electric limescale dissolver is mounted on the incoming water main, where it generates a powerful electromagnetic field between the poles. The field pulses between 7000 and 14 000 Hz. When water flows through the field, existing iron particles are set in motion at a high speed that breaks down lime, preventing it from creating deposits. Calcium remains suspended in the water, and the mineral content runs out through the drain. The method is both effective and environmentally friendly, as no salt or chemical additives are used in the process. It leaves the taste and quality of the water unaffected, containing all minerals after the treatment. Aqua's electromagnetic field technology is always 100% effective, as long as it is supplied with electricity. 

Aqua also dissolves existing deposits. The time this takes depends on the hardness of the water and the grade of scale. The first results are already visible a few weeks after installing Aqua. It may take 6-12 months to completely remove all existing scale, and some deposits may remain present over a longer period of time if the water is harder than 250 mg/L calcium. In heavily contaminated installations, Aqua may initially cause discoloured water and loose flakes of lime, and may give rise to clogging of strainers and nozzles. The product contains no movable parts and it is completely maintenance free with no hidden costs. Aqua can be mounted on pipes of copper, stainless steel, polyethylene, PEM or galvanized material. Energy consumption is insignificant (Aqua 2000: €2/year; Aqua 3000: €17/year; Aqua 5000: €27/year).

Hard Water

Calcareous water, also known as hard or limey water, is common everywhere. Scale deposits contribute to health issues connected to the growth of bacteria, and can cause serious diseases including Legionella. Marks on glasses in the dishwasher, tiles, showerheads, taps and other sensitive surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen are visible evidence of scale build-up. More serious problems occur when hard water is heated to high temperatures, creating invisible limescale deposits in pipes and on heating elements, such as in dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, boilers and heat exchangers. Just 3 mm of limescale reduces energy efficiency by a staggering 20%. The buildup forms on heat exchangers in a moderately hard water area after just six months.  

 
 

Calcium is important to our health. Aqua was designed to create conditions where lime loses its tendency to form harmful deposits, while calcium and other minerals remain in the water.

How does AQUA compares to the water softeners

Aqua offers impressing energy, health and environmental benefits at low cost. It provides a significantly higher grade of system efficiency compared to other traditional solutions like water softeners, heat pumps and boilers. In addition the complex expensive implementation of fabric improvement systems through LED lightning, glazed windows and wall insulation prove both costlier and less effective.
