HARD WATER & ECZEMA

Eczema is a dermatological condition (atopic skin), characterized by inflammation of the skin that presents various injuries such as: blisters, Erythema, vesicles, papules and exudation.
Three independent studies of primary school children in Nottingham, England (1998), Osaka, Japan (2002) and Castellón, Spain (2007) confirm that there is a relationship between hard water and disease of childhood eczema. They also found that the prevalence of eczema in children in primary school increased in relation to the content of chlorine from the water.

In the 1998 studies of SWET in Nottingham, “expected that the softeners of water would provide a simple but effective help for the many children who suffer from this condition, itching and discomfort. However, the study did not show any objective difference in outcomes between children whose homes were equipped with a water softener and which not. “(www.swet-trial.co.uk). in other words, softeners or traditional water purifiers do not help.

LIMESCALE AND CHLORINE ARE THE PROBLEM

Hard water causes limescale, which is abrasive and irritating to skin. The skin absorbs chlorine, if exposed to water chlorinated for any period of time. Chlorine also causes irritation to the skin and dry hair, and is linked to numerous health conditions.

HYDROFLOW PREVENTS LIMESCALE AND REDUCES THE IMPACT OF CHLORINE.

HydroFlow uses radio waves to prevent the formation of limescale. HydroFlow introduce micro-crystals in water that attract salts that, otherwise, merge to form limescale. These micro-crystals also attract other particles such as chlorine, increasing the particle size. The result is that the flocculated chlorine do not penetrate the skin, especially in the shower.

HYDROFLOW CAN HELP A  CHILD WITH ECZEMA

The big chemical companies are not interested in funding an ‘Independent’ study on the effectiveness of  HydroFlow. However, testimonies of users indicate that the HydroFlow can really help a child with eczema.

IMPORTANT – for best results, you have to install the HydroFlow at the point of entry to a flat or building,  so that all the water goes through the HydroFlow Ferrite ring.

Hydroflow uses radio waves in an electronic field to descale all the pipes in a home.  The electronic technology also prevents the formation of hard limescale.

You can install the Hydroflow  anywhere on the pipe that is always filled with water. The point of entry in the home is the best place.  But you get good results fitting it on the cold water pipe leading to the water heater or the washing machine.

Behind the washing machine

The pipe before the washing machine is always full of water. The signals pass in every way to treat the entire home.

Before the water heater

The most commonly used location in an apartment is probably before the water heater.

At the point of entry

Soon after the water meter is the best place.

In 2018/19 the Super 38 (S38) was badged as the Itash in Spain.  Not my idea.

Limescale is precipitated when there is a change in temperature or pressure.  The calcium carbonates in the water crystallize and attach themselves to the nearest surface, the pipes, the water heater, the washing machine, the electric kettle etc causing untold problems that keep plumbers busy.

There are three main ways to protect your home from limescale.

[1] Eliminate the minerals that cause the lime scale, using a salt based decalcifier.  This replaces the calcium with sodium, which is not in any way good for your health if you drink it.   Also they are expensive to run, as you have to buy sacks of salt almost every month.

[2] Prevent the formation of scale by magnets and electro-magnets.  These work to a certain extent. But metal particles become attached to the pipe near the magnet, which explains why they may stop working properly after as little as six months.

[3] Prevent the formation of scale electronically with a product like Hydroflow.  Hydroflow generates random signals measured in kilohertz (kHz) that do not rely on a magnetic field.  The signals go in all directions all the time, even when the water is switched off, protecting your home 24/7.  The result is softer water that is kinder to your skin and your hair.

Hydroflow is very compact. It is best fitted at the point of entry in a house.  This won’t be practical in most flats, where Hydroflow is normally fitted on the flexible pipe leading to the water heater or on the rubber tube leading to the washing machine or dish washer.

Hard water needs a powerful Hydroflow and the model recommended is the S38 (badged in Spain as ITASH ultra clean).  This is the same Hydroflow used to prevent scale in steam baths or steam ovens and never fails.  Hydroflow also acts against corrosion, bacteria and fixed chlorine

Si usa un calentador de agua eléctrico en la casa, se puede reducir su factura de energía por utilizar un temporizador,  para que se calienta el agua en unas pocas horas al comienzo y al final del día.

Sin embargo, hay un efecto secundario no deseado, hay más problemas con la cal. Con el agua dura, incrustaciones de la cal se forman, cuando hay un cambio en la temperatura o en la presión. Si el calentador de agua se enciende y apaga, el agua se enfriará y luego se calentará. Entonces, el calentador de agua y las tuberías se cubrirán con incrustaciones de cal, lo que tiene dos efectos.

1) La cal absorbe el calor. Una capa de incrustaciones en el calentador y en las tuberías aumentará la cantidad de energía consumida para que el agua caliente llegue a la ducha.

2) el calentador de agua se obstruirá con la cal y deberá reemplazarse cada 5 años más o menos.

Si usa un calentador de agua eléctrico, necesita algo para detener la formación de cal. Y ese algo es el Hydroflow S38 (Itash).

Hydroflow utiliza ondas de radio con señales de medida en kiloherz (kHz) para evitar la formación de cal dura y para disolver la cal existente. Este es el mismo Hydroflow que se usa para evitar incrustaciones en hornos de vapor y baños de vapor y funciona muy bien con el agua muy dura en España.
