How Hydrpath Technology Remove And Prevent Algae And Biofouling
Bacteria and algae that pass through the water conditioner's ring of ferrites become charged by the Hydropath signal. This charge forms a hydration layer of pure water around the cell. Osmosis forces water into the bacteria and algae, creating osmotic pressure that ruptures the cell membrane, causing the cell to perish.
Other bacteria and algae deactivation mechanisms include
1. Cell Lysis: The Hydropath signal is believed to encourage cell lysis, a process where cells are broken down or destroyed by an external force or condition.
2. Irreversible Electroporation: This process uses high-voltage localized electric current to induce cell death without thermal-induced coagulative necrosis. The Hydropath signal is thought to cause this in single-cell waterborne pathogens.
As the Hydropath signal travels along a pipe, it disrupts the bacteria and algae clinging to the inner surfaces, gradually releasing biofilm over time.
Bacteria and Algae Eradication
A bacterium passing through the HydroFLOW unit becomes charged.
Water molecules are attracted to the charged bacterium thus creating a wetting layer of pure water.
Osmosis draws the pure water into the bacterium.
The osmotic pressure built inside the bacterium causes it to burst and perish.
Bacteria and Algae Eradication
Bacteria and algae can adhere to pipe and equipment surfaces, forming a layer called biofilm. The Hydropath signal gradually disrupts these colonies, causing the biofilm to detach. Once released, the biofilm is flushed or filtered out of the system.
HydroFLOW Protects Your Property
HydroFLOW can be used to protect a range of residential applications, such as water heaters and appliances, as well as pools and spas. When it comes to commercial and industrial applications, it can be used for cooling towers, chillers, filtration systems, water features, steam boilers, belt filter presses, heat exchangers and more.
