About Flow-Tech
High mineral content in water presents several challenges for homes. The minerals left behind by hard water can cause deposits to accumulate in pipes and water heaters, impede the proper functioning of soaps and detergents, leave water marks on fixtures and dishes, and even contribute to dry, irritated skin.
Albuquerque’s tap water hardness averages between 120 and 150 ppm, placing it in the category of very hard water. Santa Fe’s water is even harder, consistently measuring around 150 ppm. Hard water, while safe to drink, can cause a variety of challenges in home plumbing and appliances. Flow-Tech offers a solution to these challenges. This innovative system treats hard water not by removing minerals but by preventing them from adhering to surfaces. This approach can help mitigate the common issues linked to hard water in our region.
Hard Water Problems Addressed by Flow-Tech
Pipe Scaling
Hard water leads to the deposition of calcium and magnesium minerals in the pipes. This scaling can reduce water flow and affect the efficiency of the plumbing system. Flow-Tech helps keep these minerals in suspension, preventing them from sticking to the pipe walls.
Appliance Damage
Water-using appliances, like dishwashers and water heaters, suffer when scale builds up. It can decrease their lifespan and increase energy consumption. Flow-Tech aids in reducing these negative impacts.
Soap Scum
Hard water reacts with soap, resulting in the formation of a chalky residue known as soap scum. With Flow-Tech, minerals in the water don’t cling to surfaces, significantly reducing the formation of soap scum.
Ineffective Detergents
Hard water can hinder the effectiveness of detergents. By addressing the hard water problem, Flow-Tech ensures that your detergents work optimally.
Spotty Dishes
After washing, hard water can leave unsightly spots on dishes. Flow-Tech minimizes these water spots, giving you clearer and cleaner dishes.
Irritated Skin
Hard water can leave a residue on the skin, leading to dryness and irritation. With treated water from Flow-Tech, your skin feels smoother and less irritated after washing.
How Flow-Tech Works
Flow-Tech employs a proprietary induced signal technology to treat hard water. Instead of altering the mineral composition, this technology keeps minerals in a suspended state. This process ensures they don’t form hard scales or stick to surfaces, delivering treated water.
How Flow-Tech Conditions Water, Step-By-Step
Signal Induction:
Flow-Tech generates a low-frequency signal that is pulsed several thousand times per second and propagated throughout your entire plumbing system.
Mineral Suspension:
This unique signal keeps calcium and magnesium minerals, which are responsible for scale, in a suspended state.
Prevention Over Removal:
Unlike traditional systems that remove these minerals or replace them with salts, Flow-Tech ensures that these minerals remain in the water but don’t adhere to surfaces. This means they flow freely with the water, reducing the chance of scale formation.
Consistent Treatment:
As long as Flow-Tech is operational, the induced signal ensures consistent treatment of water regardless of how much water is in use, ensuring every drop that comes out of your faucets is treated.
