AQUABION lime and corrosion protection in the shopping center in Hallein

Massive limescale problems can occur even with soft water! This is what happened at a shopping center in Hallein, where a quick and efficient solution was found with the AQUABION.

EKZ Hallein near Salzburg - due to massive limescale deposits on the heat exchanger and filter, the piping system has to be opened and cleaned every 6 weeks. This leads to high costs on the one hand and constant customer complaints on the other. In such cases, installers and planners like to use ion exchanger systems to decalcify the water. In this particular case, however, this was not possible - why? The municipal drinking water already has a very low hardness level of just 8.7 °dH and further decalcification is therefore not expedient or would most likely lead to increased corrosion problems in the pipe system.

Our installation partner - Schneeweiß from St. Georgen im Attergau - therefore offered the AQUABION® as a solution. The installation took place in November 2016 and the success was not long in coming! After 6 weeks of operation with AQUABION®, a first inspection was carried out and the installed strainers, filters and heat exchangers were completely free of limescale deposits. The second inspection at the end of January 2017 also showed a completely clean, limescale-free piping system. The AQUABION has now been in use for almost half a year and there are still no problems in the water pipe system.
"I can't believe how well the AQUABION® works. To be honest, I was very skeptical at first, but the result has convinced me, because not only do we save a lot of money, we also increase customer satisfaction among our tenants. We will definitely be equipping more properties with the AQUABION® in the near future," reports Managing Director Manfred Brandauer.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his trust and also our installation partner Schneeweiß(www.schneeweiss-team.at) for the excellent cooperation and project implementation.
