More than three decades of physical water treatment, recognised on a global stage. Hydropath has been named Water Treatment Company of the Year in the LiveWire Global Awards — here is what sat behind the judges’ decision.
A global award with local impact
The LiveWire Global Awards recognise businesses that innovate with purpose and show measurable success, judged by industry experts on product quality, growth, sustainability and real-world results. In naming Hydropath, the panel pointed to the global reach of HydroFLOW®, the company’s investment in research, and the environmental impact of its technology across many industries.
From its base in Nottingham to more than 50 countries worldwide, Hydropath has built a reputation for adapting HydroFLOW® across different systems, water qualities and climates — flexibility that was central to the award.
Over 30 years of physical water treatment
Founded in 1992 by Dr Danny Stefanini, Hydropath has focused on chemical-free, energy-efficient water treatment from the start. At its heart is HydroFLOW® — a patented, non-invasive technology that uses a unique electric signal to address common challenges such as limescale, biofouling and conditions linked to corrosion.
Rather than relying on harsh chemicals or complex filtration, HydroFLOW® takes a physical approach: it can improve heat transfer, support equipment lifespan and enhance system reliability — from residential plumbing to large cooling towers, agricultural irrigation and wastewater facilities.
