The HydroFLOW Patented Technology - a unique and new approach to physical water treatment
 

The most important feature of the HydroFLOW technology that sets it apart from that of any competing technology, is the efficient manner by which the electric field is directionally generated through the entire water system. This unique advantage, protected by international patents, singularly delivers consistently beneficial results in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications.

Most plumbing systems must be regarded as an open circuit from the electrical point of view. It would be impractical and expensive to form a reliable circuit from a domestic or industrial plumbing system whereby an electrical current flows through every section of the plumbing system.

To generate a reasonable flow of electrons in an open circuit conductor, it is necessary to provide a source of high frequency to a conductor that is long enough to generate a standing wave voltage over its length.

Fig.1 shows a sign wave of 200 KHz. The wave length is 1500m, the 1/4 wave length is 375m. A domestic plumbing system including the feed pipe, central heating, cold water and hot water is about 60 m.

If the source is 10V then the standing wave voltage will be [sin((60/375)*90)]*10 = 2.49V between one end of the plumbing system and the other. This voltage difference between the extremities of the plumbing system is caused by a substantial flow of electrons from one end to the other of the system.

Fig.2 represents the position at T1 on Fig.1 and Fig. 3 represent the position at T2 on Fig.1. To achieve this flow of electrons in the plumbing system a voltage must be generated in the water in the direction of the pipe. This is achieved by utilising a high frequency transformer. This transformer consists of a ferrite ring around the water pipe. A primary coil is wound around the ferrite ring. Any conductor, the water and the pipe (if it is a conductive material) will form parallel secondary windings of the transformer. The signal that is fed to the primary coil is a high frequency diminishing wave with random wait periods. This wave is designed to allow the formation of seed crystals for a variety of crystal forming salts that may be present in the water.
Fig.2 and Fig.3 illustrate the diminishing wave and the voltage V over the plumbing system at specific times marked T1 and T2 in Fig.1, as well as the position of the electrons, and the positively charged atoms in the conducting water (and pipe), at maximum voltage position. V is the voltage generated by the ferrite ring and, I is the accelerated charge generated due to the standing wave.
It is this acceleration that forms the electromagnetic field. The electric component is responsible for the generation of nuclear clusters that act as seed crystals to prevent the formation of encrusting scale.
