Limescale and bacteria such as Legionella in drinking water

Limescale and bacteria such as Legionella in drinking water are extremely important issues to be treated

So what remedy to take?

Technology “PEF” (Pulsed Electric Fields)

The innovative 100% effective system “All in One”

But what exactly is limestone?

The limescale in drinking water circulates in our homes through the water network, encrusting everything it finds.

Limestone is a compound of mineral salts that are part of the natural composition of water, that water which is essential for our health, with all the elements it contains.

We must therefore understand…
How can we eliminate the limescale deposits released by the water in its passage that encrust pipes, electrothermal devices and boilers, furthermore limestone is the ideal nest for biofilms which helps bacterial proliferation including Legionella.

• Can we therefore use a technology capable of breaking down limestone and microorganisms present in the water?
• Without modifying its natural organoleptic composition, with all its essential elements for our health?

After all, water has all the characteristics of a chemical element suitable for our daily, human and vital needs, its composition is rich in mineral salts essential to our body, including magnesium and calcium, which , by binding, they give rise to calcium carbonate, or limestone, a chemical compound similar to that of natural rocks, such as those in the beautiful caves in the form of stalactites and stalagmites.

The continuous passage of water leads to the accumulation of this rock daily and as an effect over time it creates the obstruction of pipes, filters and pipelines, it clings in particular to electrical resistances and to the internal parts of the boilers, creating layer upon layer a real insulation, which in addition to preventing the normal flow of water, decreases the thermal yield, consequently increasing the inevitable increase in energy costs.

Precisely calcium and magnesium, the main determinants that create scaling in drinking water, in fact play a crucial role in the diet, where water is the primary source, especially for intolerant individuals or with diets poor in minerals.
Water is our body’s primary nutrient and the minerals it contains are fundamental for our health and never more than now does our body need trace elements that it is unable to produce and which also play fundamental roles in the immune system.

But let’s not be alarmed

There is always a remedy for everything… a pity that to date the fight against limescale has been entrusted to ion exchange softeners, polyphosphate dispensers, osmosis membrane filters and magnets and electromagnets, or to induced frequency generators.

It is a pity that these Jurassic systems reduce limescale, but enormously alter the characteristics of the water, making it undrinkable and harmful to the body if swallowed or simply used to wash your hair, take a shower or brush your teeth!
Then in the kitchen… for example, the coffee sucks!

‘The users of these devices must be informed of the changes in the mineral composition caused by the treatments and of the possible consequences on the total intake of nutrients’ (World Health Organization, WHO. See note 2).

The use of ion exchange softeners, for example, fights limescale in the boiler and in the plumbing systems, but over time proves to be highly polluting and not very sustainable.
It is therefore not a real solution, but is normally installed due to its reasonable cost, even if the health regulations in this regard are very strict, and do not allow its use except with strict dosages of salt, but most of users either don’t know it or don’t.
(In fact, washing must be performed no less than 92 times a year, because the law requires it to be performed once every 4 days).

In fact, ion exchange softeners use salt, several ASLs discourage their use due to the large quantities of salts released into the environment, which then inevitably ends up in groundwater and rivers.
Those who use ion exchange softeners should therefore subject them to periodic checks, to ensure the safety of water intended for human consumption.

Reverse osmosis filters, they are extremely effective for removing any type of mineral present in the water, they have the characteristic of finely filtering the water that passes through them, eliminating most of the substances present, they retain calcium and magnesium, but also all the high essential mineral salts , this is why they make it tasteless or inert, depleted of all its properties and therefore undrinkable.
Sterile water suitable for your iron or car battery.
Furthermore, the counter filtration for cleaning consumes as much as it gets, an unnecessary waste. (to obtain 50 liters filtered for use, you throw away another 50 liters for washing the membranes)

The polyphosphate dispensers, which prevent calcium carbonate deposits and encrustations by forming a protective film inside the pipes, are certainly very cheap systems which however have major drawbacks, in fact they have the reputation of being extremely polluting. They are harmful to health as they release a quantity of polyphosphates into the waste water and with a percentage that exceeds the legal limits regarding the permitted quantity.
It goes without saying that the water treated in this way must circulate only in the technical service system and not in the one for human use.

The devices then classified as a physical system, are magnetic or ultrasound devices that break up the molecular bonds of the minerals and prevent the formation of the calcite crystal when the water reaches 40 degrees.
They therefore do not alter the mineral characteristics of the water, in fact they keep the hardness unchanged, only altering the physical form of the calcium salts, avoiding aggregation with magnesium.
These devices use a local magnetic or ultrasonic field.
They are certainly the cheapest and easy to install.
These devices are not always effective in all cases and usually do not give guarantees due to variable results.
