Hydropath Holdings has announced a free new educational service to all companies at this year's Plumbing and Heating Exhibition in Chelsea.

Following a successful series of regional training events with British Gas, the water treatment product manufacturer is rolling out its training programme to other energy suppliers, water companies and Specifiers within the Plumbing and Heating industry.

Hydropath's Technical Director Dr Daniel Stefanini said: "Our Hydroflow range of water conditioning products is exceptionally easy to install – for both domestic and commercial applications.

Hydroflow simply clips onto water pipes without the need for drilling or cutting into the pipework – it merely requires a standard 240V three phase power supply. However, the technology employed in its operation is far from straight-forward and that is why it is patented and works unlike any other product. Although plumbers and gas engineers do not need to know the detailed mechanics of the system, to achieve the optimum performance from a Hydroflow there are some very important aspects to consider when siting the product."


Dr Stefanini continued: "Hydroflow works by transmitting randomly varying electric fields throughout the water system and the signal must be allowed to propagate thoroughly throughout the system. One of the reasons for weak performance with this technology is that the Hydroflow unit is sited between earth bonding, this creates a closed loop and therefore does not allow the signal to propagate."

Hydropath believes that by demonstrating the system and advising on good installation practices, engineers have found the training to be informative and beneficial, this is reassuring feedback as unfortunately there are a number of physical water conditioning products available that, due to their inherent limitations, will have a very limited effect at best. Some customers then make the mistake of assuming that all physical water conditioners are ineffective. Hydroflow has been proven in thousands of applications in the UK and around the world.
