Technology for treating limescale, biofilm and corrosion, improving water system performance – suitable for a wide range of applications and for integration into green-building projects
The system is installed on the pipework, with no pipe cutting, no changes to infrastructure and no direct contact with the water.
The system operates continuously with no salt, chemicals or filter media, and no need for replacement or refilling.
The treatment does not remove minerals from the water or change their composition, preserving the water’s original properties.
Optional continuous monitoring of system activity, providing operational indication and control over its performance.
| Other treatment methods | HydroFLOW |
|---|---|
| Mostly require intervention in the pipework | External installation – no pipe cutting |
| May require consumable materials | No chemicals, salt or consumables |
| Require ongoing maintenance | No ongoing maintenance required |
| Some change the water composition | No change to water composition |
| Varies by treatment method | Treats existing limescale and reduces new limescale build-up |
| Not always available with a green-label certification | Holds a green-label certification |
| Not every solution is credit-approved | Approved for credit under SI 5281 green-building standard |
HydroFLOW systems are also applied worldwide in complex commercial and industrial systems — cooling towers, desalination plants, wastewater treatment and green-building projects.
Commercial and industrial HydroFLOW systems can be connected to the HydroKNCT communication controller, depending on model and configuration. The controller transmits system data to the Hydropath Care platform, providing online indication, alerts and operational information.
How does HydroFLOW compare to an electrolytic device, a salt softener and a polyphosphate (silica) filter?
| Parameter | HydroFLOW | Electrolytic | Salt softener | Polyphosphate (silica) filter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ongoing costs | No consumables | Electrodes — replaced rarely, usually after around 15 years | Monthly salt | Cartridge every 6–12 months |
| Water waste | No waste | No direct waste | Yes, for regeneration | No direct waste (unless leaking) |
| Nature of treatment | Physical treatment only | Direct contact with metal particles | High sodium | Phosphates |
| Pipe cutting | No | Usually yes | Usually yes | Usually yes |
| Works even when water is standing still | Yes, continuously | Usually inactive | Usually inactive | Usually inactive |
| Combined biofilm & corrosion treatment | Yes | No | No | No |
| International green-label certification | Yes | No | No | No |
