What is Physico

Physico is a unique device, patented and certified by Tecnoacque. Designed and developed to safeguard the beneficial properties of water, it fully complies with the provisions set out in the most recent Italian and European laws on systems and technologies for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Its performance, unique for its effectiveness, efficiency and durability, guarantees the elimination of scale deposits, killing any pathogenic microorganisms that may be present and maintaining the chemical and biological composition of the water, rich in valuable nutrients.

Physico puts the water back into the environment exactly the same as when it received it, guaranteeing safety and numerous benefits.

• From a nutritional point of view, the water remains good and healthy, complete with its mineral content and bacteriologically safer.
• From an energy point of view, it guarantees significant savings on energy consumption, the result of a drastic reduction in the scales responsible for obstructions, energy loss and the accumulation of bacteria.
• From an environmental point of view, it is a 100% eco-friendly water treatment technology, as it avoids the use and subsequent release of wastewater polluted by salts or polyphosphates.

Water is the most precious asset we have!

Water originating from aqueducts and other natural sources such as rivers, lakes, natural springs, wells, etc. plays an important role in both biological systems and numerous industrial and civil applications. The combination of Calcium Bicarbonates, Magnesium and the other various minerals it contains, determines the water hardness and therefore whether or not scales form.

When there is an increase in temperature, Calcium Bicarbonate Ca (HCO₃)₂ releases Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and turns into solid Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), which is responsible for the build-up of hard Calcium deposits.

In nature, it is made up of two different crystal structures: Calcite and Aragonite.
Calcite is the crystal structure that is responsible for scales.

Scales in civil and industrial systems are notoriously known for the extensive damage that they cause, resulting in very high costs.

A DUAL EFFECT

The electromagnetic induction that takes place in the water as it flows through the Physico system has a dual effect: physical and biological.

• PHYSICAL EFFECT
  The crystalline deposits that form during the water heating stage are much smaller than those in untreated water. This new physical form reduces the aggregation of the crystals, drastically reducing the build-up of limescale deposits in the areas of the system where heat transfer occurs (heat exchanger). It follows that all of the heating devices present less deposits, improving the transfer of heat, optimising energy efficiency and therefore requiring less maintenance due to obstructions caused by limescale deposits.
• BIOLOGICAL EFFECT
  Thanks to the electromagnetic induction that takes place in the water during the Physico treatment, the total bacteria count present is reduced by 60-70%. This is an important factor, as it averts the risk of bacterial proliferation that is found in other treatment systems.
