Residential Water Treatment with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances water quality in homes by preventing limescale build-up, improving the efficiency and lifespan of appliances such as water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers. It also reduces maintenance needs and lowers energy consumption, promoting a more sustainable and cost-effective household environment
Protecting the Heart of Your Home and Enhancing Your Everyday Water Use
For over 30 years, Hydropath has led the way in eco-friendly water treatment. Our innovative technology tackles limescale, bacteria, algae, and biofouling, reducing reliance on harmful chemicals. In hard water areas, limescale buildup on showerheads, pipes, and appliances causes costly repairs and reduces efficiency. Our patented solution offers a sustainable, cost-effective way to protect your home, enhance water system performance, and save money.

Common Problems in Residential Water Systems
Limescale
-
White crust and deposits on taps, showerheads, and kettles, making fixtures unsightly.
-
Reduced efficiency and higher energy costs in household boilers, hot water cylinders, or electric water heaters.
-
Frequent need for descaling chemicals or manual cleanup.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by continuously treating water to minimise limescale buildup on household fixtures and heating elements.
Heaters and Boilers
-
Limescale encrustation on heating elements raises energy usage.
-
Potential boiler kettling noises or shorter equipment life.
-
Frequent professional servicing to descale or replace components.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by continuously treating the feedwater, reducing scale accumulations inside residential boilers or cylinders.
Legionella Treatment
-
Potential growth in rarely used hot water lines or older systems with warm stagnant areas.
-
Health hazard for vulnerable occupants.
-
Complexity of temperature or chemical-based disinfecting.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by disturbing biofilms where legionella often hide, reducing the risk of bacterial proliferation in domestic plumbing.
Dishwasher
-
Spotty or cloudy glassware from hard water.
-
Scale on heating elements, causing slower cycles and potential malfunctions.
-
Extra rinse aids or chemical usage to compensate.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by reducing limescale and biofilm buildup, improving wash quality with fewer chemicals.
Laundry Machine
-
Scale and mineral film inside the drum or on heating elements.
-
Dull, stiff clothing and higher detergent demand.
-
Musty odours if biofilm persists in cooler washes.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by reducing both scale and bacterial colonies, leading to fresher laundry with lower detergent.
Ice Maker
-
White scale on ice trays or evaporator plates inside the fridge/freezer.
-
Cloudy or off-tasting cubes.
-
More frequent cleaning cycles or reduced production.
-
HydroFLOW helps by interfering with scale deposits, helping produce clearer, better-tasting ice and requiring less manual cleaning.
Swimming Pool
-
Scale rings on pool walls, cloudy water, or tile staining.
-
Algae or biofilm issues if water balance drifts.
-
Frequent filter backwashing and chemical shocks.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by helping to disrupt scale crystal growth and hamper biofilm, making pool maintenance less intensive.
Electric Resistance & Immersion Heaters
-
Mineral deposits form around immersion rods in hot water tanks.
-
Slower heat-up times and potential element overheating.
-
Frequent replacements for burnt-out elements.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by limiting mineral crystallisation on the element surface, extending service life and efficiency.
Biofouling
-
Slime or biofilm forming in rarely used taps, showerheads, or stagnant pipes.
-
Reduced water flow and unpleasant odours in sinks, showers, or drains.
-
Potential health concerns if bacterial buildup persists.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by emitting a pulsed signal that disrupts biofilm adhesion, discouraging bacterial colonies within domestic plumbing.
Pipelines
-
Sediment or scale narrowing household pipes, causing low water pressure.
-
Internal corrosion if water chemistry is poor.
-
Higher risk of leaks or pinhole damage over time.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by reducing fouling inside pipes, promoting smoother flow and decreasing blockages.
Other Scaling
-
Reddish-brown iron stains in baths and basins or etched glass from silica.
-
Unpleasant metallic taste or discolouration in drinking water.
-
Scale constrictions reducing flow rates or clogging aerators.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by reducing these minerals tendency to adhere, lowering staining and blockages on fixtures.
Valves
-
Scale or debris lodging in shut-off valves, making them difficult to operate.
-
Leaks from partial sealing or damaged seals/gaskets.
-
Potential water damage if a stuck valve fails.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by inhibiting scale buildup on valve internals, helping them remain easier to turn and less prone to leak.
Pumps
-
Scale or sediment wear on impellers and seals, reducing lifespan.
-
Clogging that causes low flow or motor strain.
-
Higher utility bills from inefficiency.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by treating the water so minerals/biofilm don’t readily attach, aiding longer pump life and stable performance.
Wells and Boreholes
-
Iron or hardness fouling submersible pumps, decreasing flow.
-
Staining fixtures or adding unpleasant tastes/odours.
-
Frequent shock chlorination or filter changes.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by making it harder for iron and limescale to coat the pump and screen, sustaining yield and water quality.
Corrosion Control
-
Corrosion in older copper or iron pipes leading to leaks.
-
Blue/green stains in sinks or metallic-tasting water.
-
Potential pipe replacement projects if corrosion progresses.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by minimising scale and biofilm that often accelerate corrosion, helping slow the rate of metal pipe degradation.
Reverse Osmosis
-
Membrane scaling in under-sink or whole-house RO systems, lowering flow.
-
Frequent membrane/filter swaps or reduced water purity.
-
High brine-to-product ratio in very hard water areas.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by reducing scale on RO membranes, extending service life and helping maintain stable output quality.
Filters
-
Sediment or hardness quickly clogging sediment/carbon cartridges.
-
Reduced water pressure and flow due to frequent filter blockages.
-
Musty odours if biofilm forms in filter housings.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by promoting particle agglomeration and discouraging biofilm, so filters last longer and maintain better flow.
Steam Ovens
-
Limescale in the internal steam generator, affecting cooking consistency.
-
Extended cook times or error codes from scale sensors.
-
Frequent manual descaling or service visits.
-
HydroFLOW® helps by treating feedwater to limit mineral deposits, helping the steam oven perform reliably.
