Bacteria and algae treatment

The Hydropath Marine technology has been tested in the world’s leading testing institutes for the effect of a unique signal to treat infections caused by bacteria in various water systems.
A test carried out by SGS on the reduction and treatment of bacteria in drinking water and a test carried out by ALS laboratories on the ability to eradicate legionella showed the technology efficiency in treating bacteria.

How Hydropath Marine technology affects bacteria and algae

Bacteria and/or algae that passes through the water conditioner’s ring of ferrites becomes charged by the Hydropath Marine signal. This charge forms a hydration layer of pure water around the cell. Osmosis forces water into the bacteria and/or algae, creating osmotic pressure, which ruptures the cell membrane and causes the cell to die.

In addition to eradication via osmosis, the Hydropath Marine signal interferes with the bacteria and/or algae cell membrane which causes it to perish. As the Hydropath Marine signal passes along a metal pipe, it disrupts the bacteria and/or algae clinging to the rough inner surface, gradually releasing the biofoul over time.

Bacteria and algae management
A bacterium passing through the Hydropath Marine system becomes charged.

Water molecules are attracted to the charged bacterium thus creating a wetting layer of pure water.

Osmosis draws the pure water into the bacterium.

The osmotic pressure built inside the bacterium causes it to burst and die.

Removal of biofilm

Bacteria and algae attach to pipe and equipment surfaces and form a layer known as biofilm. Over time, the Hydropath Marine signal causes the release of biofilm by agitating the colonies. Released biofilm is flushed or filtered out of the system.
