The Science Behind ActivFlo

"...over 40 years of research..."

Unlike other water conditioning methods on the market, ActivFlo’s catalytic technology is backed by over 40 years of research. 

Within the core of an ActivFlo unit is a special spiral-like, patented alloy. As water passes through the unit and over the surface of this alloy, it is exposed to a small electrical charge created by the dips and curves of the spiral structure. At the same time, the alloy’s unique shape causes a drop in water pressure. Both of these changes cause the calcium carbonate (limescale) in the water to form insoluble aragonite crystals. These microscopic crystals are perfectly safe, but – critically – do not have the same bonding properties as calcium carbonate. This means they cannot settle in pipework, or on heating elements or appliances, and your home is protected from the build-up of limescale. 

ActivFlo does not eliminate minerals, such as calcium, from your water supply, so you can continue to enjoy the benefits of mineral-rich water.
