HydroCare
A major problem of domestic heating systems without the installation of the HydroCare unit is the scale formation inside the homes pipework. HydroCare prevents scale build-up and will in most cases dissolve existing scale. The patented water treatment technology within the HydroCare unit represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of water and is recommended in the UK by British Gas and in Israel by the Pazgaz group, Israel’s Gas Utility Company. It simply clips on the cold water feed pipe before the hot water heater or boiler, plug it in and switch it on. No professional installation required.
Features of the HydroCare Unit
See How the HydroCare Unit Works:
- Effective on standing water with no flow necessary

- Low running costs
- No chemicals, no salts
- No magnetic coils
Benefits of the HydroCare Unit
- Removes existing limescale
- Prevents limescale formation
- Cuts energy costs
- Extends the life of appliances & equipment
- Treats the whole house 24 hours a day
How does the HydroCare Unit Work?
This limescale prevention method is based on the creation of randomly changing electrical fields that are induced in the water and distributed throughout the pipe system. This system holds US & Worldwide patents. This leads to the formation of crystallized nuclei everywhere in the system. When the water is heated, the hard salts in the water (those which usually settle as limescale that builds up on the walls) grow as a suspension and are washed away with the water flow. The electric field that forms in the area of contact between the water and the pipe repels the limescale crystallized nuclei and prevents them from settling on the walls.
The induction of the electric field is accomplished without intervention in the pipe system and is based on an accessory that is mounted around it. The electrical field is transferred by the pipe system and water themselves. The impact of the process is continuous, independent of the water flow (yet the intensity of the field changes according to the intensity of the flow) and does not require the addition of chemicals or salts.
As a result of high costs it had incurred from limescale damage to instant water heaters, British Gas conducted a long-range experiment in which it compared several limescale prevention devices. As part of the experiment, the method of action and structure of the devices were described. Only devices whose operation does not require the addition of chemicals or salts to the water were tested.The experiment results revealed a clear advantage to the HydroCare: All systems treated by devices other than the HydroCare, clogged within 40 to 100 weeks, while the HydroCare unit lasted for over 200 weeks.
HydroCare is different from other devices of its kind in terms of the following:
- Its efficiency does not decrease in high temperatures.
- It is also active when there is no flow in the system.
- Its action is felt throughout the whole house up & down stream, with no additional devices needed within the system.
Summary
As it was pointed out at the beginning, the theoretical background and the research carried out by British Gas Company indicate a device that can contribute greatly to the prevention of limescale in hot water systems.
The device prevents limescale and reduces the damage it causes, extending the life cycle of standard home appliances and hot water systems. It increases the efficiencies and dramatically reduces energy cost.
