Utilizing patented technology, HydroFLOW emits a consistent signal that permeates through the pipe and interacts with the hardness-causing minerals, namely Calcium and Magnesium, present in the water. This interaction renders these minerals inert, effectively conditioning the water. For optimal results, the HydroFLOW unit is ideally installed on the cold in-feed pipe leading to the hot water tank. This strategic placement ensures that the signal permeates both forward and backward, comprehensively treating the entire hot and cold-water pipe system. The signal generated by HydroFLOW is a variable diminishing sine curve, ensuring continuous water treatment. This means that even when the water is stagnant, it remains under treatment. This sets HydroFLOW apart from electromagnetic systems, which rely on a specific section of the pipe to transmit the signal and typically offer limited treatment duration, usually around 4 hours, necessitating metal pipes for effectiveness. HydroFLOW's technology is versatile, as it operates effectively on all types of pipes. This is because it directly targets the minerals in the water, irrespective of the flow dynamics.
