AgriFLOW "A" Series Hydropath Electronic Scale Inhibitor

 Limescale adversely affects many aspects of agriculture, just as it does industry and in the home. Many systems that utilize water can be affected by limescale build-up, particularly in hard water areas. These can include irrigation systems, milking parlors and ponds to name but a few. Another nuisance that can go hand in hand with water supply is algae growth a particular problem in watering troughs. There is now a low cost and permanent solution available to farmers called AgriFLOW.

AgriFLOWs manufacturer, Hydropath UK Ltd, has adopted the technology from its successful HydroFLOW water treatment systems that are already proven in use by Colman's, Britvic and HP Bulmer as well as thousands of domestic applications around the world. It offers water and energy savings as well as other ecological benefits particularly as it removes the need for chemical water softening, which results in sodium being sent to the watercourse.

AgriFLOW is a patented physical water conditioning system that integrates ferrite and solid-state electronics.  AgriFLOW transmits a powerful signal throughout the entire water system, continually treating the water 24 hours a day. The signal works up and down stream even in no flow conditions ensuring consistent and reliable protection. This signal affects the properties of the water to produce two beneficial effects one on limescale build up and the other on algae and bacteria. It is not to be confused with other physical conditioners that rely on magnets.

The electric fields that AgriFLOW generates cluster the ions in the hard water resulting in the production of nuclei (seed crystals) everywhere in the system. When water is heated the resulting precipitate that usually deposits on hot surfaces as encrusting limescale, grows in suspension and is then washed away in the flow.
