Limescale and corrosion in water conduits and pipes : a recurrent problem

Scaling

: Cost and maintenance problems with limescale in heating circuits

Water conduits in houses are often blocked or partially clogged mainly because of scale. These scaling problems are mostly important in hot water and boiler circuits. They cause a diminution of water flow and heating systems malfunctioning with an increase of energy consumption. Equipments are worn out rapidly and the excessive usage of cleaning agents and other chemical products in order to counter the problem create pollution in potable water.

Corrosion

Furthermore, when water is soft (poorly charged with lime), it is often corrosive for metal water conduits. In both cases, the damages may cause high repair costs (leakages and clogging).

Chemical water softener : the bygone classical solution

Presently, many governments, local and national, are reducing the usage of water softeners (ion exchangers) by law and decree.

Ion exchangers use more water than the actual water treated and reject salt into the ground water after consumption, thus creating environmental problems and health issues.

: Continuous consumption of NaCl is expensive and tedious

Aqua-4D® : The ecological solution against limescale and corrosion

Eliminates present limescale in water conduits between 6 to 24 months
Prevents limescale deposits by maintaining the limestone in suspension in the water
Inhibits corrosion caused by an aggressive water by creating a protection film inside the conduits
Does not modify the chemical composition of the water
