Scale in the water pipe systems poses a serious technical problem for water supply and heating systems in households and industry. Calcium deposits (calcification, scale) generate heavy cost for the rehabilitation of water pipes and heating installations and are responsible for energy loss.
Depending on the different levels of water quality, calcareous deposits can form at the pipes and cause significant pressure losses, if not complete plugging in pipes likely to impede performance or cause shutdown.
Similarly, corrosion may occur and cause breaks in pipes and possible flooding.
All facilities, like shower, valves and fittings, plumbing, water heater, boiler, must be maintained in order to reduce the following:

The operation of AQUABION rests on the galvanic principle of a consumable zinc anode which wears out when there is voltage difference (0.70-1Volt) between the zinc anode and the metal body of AQUABION.
Depending on the water parameters, the galvanic element generates a galvanic difference in potential on the anode surface which causes agglomeration of the substances contained in the water around the released zinc ion (crystallization core).
The agglomerate responsible for the hardening of the water, at the same time favours the crystal growth.
The result is that in water there are then more particles which aggregate to the other released products.
These particles provide a larger surface area for the mechanical erosion of the inlay and the loosened particles are discharged with the water flow.
The calcite is then transformed into aragonite in the pipe system; the tendency to agglomerates adhesion is significantly reduced.
The body of the AQUABION device is fixed in the pipe system or before a machine to protect in accordance with the requirements of the cross-section and equipment and with the manufacturer's specifications.
The main part of AQUABION is a consumable zinc anode of high purity. This anode is set inside the brass piece between two stainless steel whirl-producing elements. While the release of zinc ions occurs in a controlled manner by laminar flows, the elements causing whirls cause turbulent discharges in the AQUABION. The transfer of zinc ions is accelerated and the efficiency of the protection mechanism is significantly increased. Water is divided into layers during the time of crossing the AQUABION, and thus comes in an optimal way into contact with the zinc anode.
Between the brass body and the zinc anode a difference of potential is created, which engenders electrolysis and causes the release of zinc ions. In this way, the pipe system is protected against corrosion phenomena such as pit corrosion or trough-like corrosion.
In AQUABION technology, we grant much importance to zinc ions: they cause a change in the crystal structure of calcium carbonate, thus preventing pipe calcification downstream of the heating elements and frames.
