Hydropath (HK) Limited products

With its innovative patented design and unique, electronic signal, the HS38 is suitable for installation in houses of up to four bedrooms, and can protect combination boilers as well as vented and unvented cylinders. The HS38 is designed to protect against hard limescale deposits in domestic pipelines and on heating elements and surfaces, to protect appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, and to make limescale-stained taps, sinks and bathtubs easier to clean.

Home Limescale Protection for Larger Pipes. TheHydroFLOW® HS40 is designed for domestic systems and is especially suitable for multi bath-roomed homes. Similar to its cousin the HS38, the larger and more powerful HS40 is designed to offer a chemical-free alternative in addressing the effects of new and existing hard limescale encrustation on plumbing systems and the impact that this hard limescale has on the efficiency of and longevity of boilers and their increased energy usage. The unit can be fitted around pipes of up to 63mm diameter and of any material with no plumbing required.

Limescale Protection for Light Commercial Applications. The S38 is for use in low-pressure steam boilers, steam ovens and steam rooms and for humidifiers and evaporators. Protecting these appliances from limescale build-up and removing existing limescale can reduce maintenance and replacement costs and improve their efficiency. The S38 fits around pipes of up to 38mm, is suitable for all types of pipe material and works independent of flow rate. The s38 is designed to offer a chemical-free alternative in addressing the effects of new and existing hard limescale encrustation.

The K40 AQUAKLEAR is designed to improve the water quality of pools, hot tubs, spas, water features, and other related applications. Reducing bacterial levels and improving filtration in pools etc. leads to clearer and more pleasant water and a reduction in maintenance regimes and associated costs and a reduction in backwash. The K40 AQUAKLEAR has a range of benefits designed to make your system cheaper and easier to maintain, and more pleasant to use. The K40 AQUAKLEAR is designed to reduce bacteria levels, to reduce hazardous chlorine use (and its unpleasant smell), and to help improve filtration for lower turbidity and reduced backwash. The unit can be fitted around pipes of up to 63mm diameter and of any material with no plumbing required.

The i Range is designed for more challenging applications in industrial environments, which may suffer from a range of water treatment issues, and require limescale protection, flocculation and biofouling control. The Industrial Range is more powerful than the standard commercial unit. It features an integrated power supply, is fully waterproofed, and is designed for ease of connection to mains power and building management systems. The i Range is designed to improve water quality and to prevent and remove hard limescale. Standard i Range units are available in various sizes to fit pipes of any material up to 200mm in diameter.

Limescale Protection for Commercial Applications. The C Range is designed for limescale protection for heating, ventilation and plumbing services in offices, schools, hotels and other commercial buildings. These types of building can suffer from the effects of hard limescale build up on their boilers and on their heating and cooling equipment. This build up can not only reduce their overall efficiency, but can lead to expensive and time consuming maintenance or indeed to premature equipment failure. The applied signal can travel throughout the system including the cold services as well as the hot services, meaning that other equipment is similarly protected and deposits on sinks, taps etc. are easier to clean. The C Range is designed to offer a chemical-free alternative in addressing the effects of new and existing hard limescale encrustation on commercial boilers, heat exchangers and cooling systems. Standard units are available up to 200mm in diameter.

The P RANGE AQUAKLEAR is designed to improve water quality in both commercial swimming pools and cooling towers.Swimming pools can suffer from high levels of chloramines and chlorine smell. Backwashing the filters means money is spent on sewage and water charges as well as on additional water heating. Flocculating material improves filtration and reduces backwashing, leading to lower energy usage, water and effluent charges, and also reduces chloramine levels and the associated smell. In cooling towers, flocculating material similarly reduces the amount of make-up water required and improves water quality.

The S RANGE is designed specifically to deal with limescale in high pressure steam boilers. The S RANGE enables the use of untreated water for the steam boiler – straight from the mains or the bore hole. Preventing hard scaling on boiler tubes and gradually clearing up existing scale can lead to huge savings due to reduced maintenance costs and improved efficiency. The S RANGE is designed to address the effects of new and existing hard limescale encrustation and is suitable for high pressure steam boilers. Standard units are available up to 120mm in diameter.

For pipe sizes larger than 200mm in outer diameter, our commercial ranges are available as Custom units suitable for any pipe, from pipes of diameter 10 inches, to pipes of several meters in diameter. Custom units are designed for use in applications such as large cooling towers, power stations, mining and anywhere else high water flow necessitates greater pipe diameters.

An alternative to cooling towers in the use of single-pass sea water cooling, where sea water is pumped through a heat exchanger, before being returned to the sea. This has the advantage of not leading to a heghten concentration level of scaling in the water, which in turn leads to scaling. However, these systems tend to suffer from problematic biofuling on the heat exchanger surfaces.
