Decalcifier

Aqua 3000 & Aqua 5000

Efficient solution of lime problems in larger premises, industrial buildings and process plants!

• For flows from 5 to 150 m3/hour;
• Energy-saving;
• Environment-friendly.

Calcareous water is common everywhere and causes lime deposits in pipes, heating elements and other water connected equipment. Reduced output and increased energy consumption are other consequences. The service life of installations connected to the water system will also be affected. On the other hand the lime is important from a health point of view. Aqua Decalicifier, however, prevents the lime problems without affecting the water quality.

Aqua Decalcifier will prevent the lime deposits

When using the decalcifier, the lime remains suspended in the water and runs out through the drain instead of creating deposits. The method is both effective and environmentally appropriate - no chemical additives are used and the taste and the quality of the water are not affected. Also, the quantity of detergents in washing machines can be reduced by approx. 25 % due to lower surface tension of the water, which is positive for both environment and operational economy.

Aqua Decalcifier also dissolves existing deposits 

It may often take 6-12 months to dissolve existing lime deposits, dependant on the hardness of the water and the grade of damage. If the water is harder than 15° dh some deposits may remain up to five years. In heavily contaminated installations the decalcifier may initially cause miscoloured water and loose flakes of lime may give rise to clogging of strainers and nozzles. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the decalcifier. 

Large flows and high demands

The Aqua Decalcifiers for large consumers are available in two sizes:

• Aqua 3000 for plants with a water consumption up to 200 litres per minute, for example apartment houses up to approx. 50 apartments.
• Aqua 5000 for plants with a water consumption up to 800 litres per minute, for example large industries, hotels, restaurants, swimming pools and apartment houses up to approx. 150 apartments.

The Aqua Decalcifier is CE-approved in accordance with EN 60950-1 and fulfils protection class IP 65. The installation is very simple and can be carried out on all normally used materials; polyethylene, stainless steel, copper and galvanized pipes. The device contains no movable parts and is totally maintenance free.

Application areas:

• Apartment houses
• Hotels
• Swimming pools
• Industries
• Processing plants
• Boiler houses

Funktion:

The Decalicifier Aqua 3000 & Aqua 5000 is mounted onto the incoming water main, where it generates an electrostatic field between the poles. The field pulses between 7000 and 14000 Hz. When the water flows through the field, the existing iron particles are set in motion at high speed, which breaks down the lime, preventing it from creating deposits. The electrostatic field is always 100 percent effective as it is continuously supplied with the necessary voltage. The energy consumption is negligible.

Technical data:

For private houses and other smaller plants Aqua 2000 is a consumer packed version for max. 50 litres/minute, 4 W power and pipe diameter 18-54 mm.
 

Warranty:

Four years warranty from the date of purchase. This applies to material and manufacturing defects.
