OILFIELD CHEMISTRY & RESEARCH DRIVES FLOW-TECH TO REMOVE 99% OF SCALE & CORROSION

WHY DOES HARD WATER MATTER?

The biggest issues happen to your plumbing parts and fixtures at the mechanical level. In other words, your water heater's life is shortened because it has to work harder and harder to heat water because it has to work through the scale & buildup to heat the water. Does your water heater pop? You have scale build up in your unit. Other problems include things like your toilet's fill valve & flush valve that repeatedly have to be replaced because of mechanical failure due to hard water build up. Your fixtures quit working because the inner working parts are crusted with lime and scale. Your faucet may be corroded on. Basically, everything costs more to operate or you are faced with constant repairs and more frequest replacement. All this costs you money.

HOW TO TREAT HARD WATER

Texas has hard water. There is no way around it. You must remove the minerals or render the minerals harmless within the system. We are preferred installers of Flow-Tech Max, which is the only system on the market that maintains measurable signal strength throughout your entire plumbing system, regardless of water flow. Unlike all other chemical and physical water treatment systems on the market today, Flow-Tech Home Max has invented a proprietary means of treating the water throughout your plumbing system. Other systems use chemicals, magnets, coils and TAC which can be inconsistent.  If the water is not flowing, the minerals fall back into an active state. Any seed crystals that form with these methods will soon go back into solution in the water meaning the ability to prevent encrusting scale is lost. Flow-Tech uses wave technology which means a sign wave signal is introduced to your home's water causing the minerals that ultimately cause scale & corrosion to bind together forming crystals that drop out of the water. This renders harmless the calcium, magnesium, phospherous, lime, rust and other minerals that crust up on your fixtures, clog up your water heater, and make your shower doors look dingy and gross.  The constant sign wave employed by Flow-Tech Max means 99% of the minerals that cause your plumbing problems are rendered harmless.


THE ULTIMATE SALT FREE WATER CONDITIONER

Let's face it, salt treated water tastes awful. Flow-Tech Home’s cutting-edge technology is far more effective than any other scale & hard water treatment system without the use of salt. Best of all, Flow-Tech anti-scale system eliminates lime-scale from occurring in your home AND it will remove existing build-up.

REVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH

The Flow-Tech system has a unique induction method that treats all of the water in your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Flow-Tech Home system induces a low frequency signal that is pulsed several thousand times per second and propagated throughout your entire plumbing system, up to a mile. Flow-Tech is effective in eliminating mineral build up throughout your entire system. An electromagnetic signal reverses the charge on the minerals that are dissolved in the water. This new state forces the minerals to form seed crystals that remain in suspension until they are harmlessly washed away with the waste water.

GREEN IN EVERYTHING, BUT EXPERIENCE

The Flow-Tech System was developed after years of research by a team of top petrochemical engineers and scientists. Initially the technology was to be used in industrial applications. This technology has been adapted to make it available to homeowners and to very successfully treat hard water problems WITHOUT CHEMICALS. For the first time you can have an economical, environmentally friendly, salt-free, no-maintenance water treatment system that works— all the time.

SALT FREE. CHEMICAL FREE. WORRY FREE

Over 80% of American homes have hard water. Midlothian, Waxahachie, Red Oak and all of surrounding Ellis County has extremely hard water due to the limestone that surrounds our land. Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium. Prior to the development of Flow-Tech Home, customers have been forced to use undesirable techniques such as salts, magnetic coils and chemicals to manage these effects.

THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND SCALE & FLOW-TECH

When minerals enter the water system and ultimately your home, they are subject to pressure decreases and temperature increases. The pressure and temperature assist the reaction that allows the water to become supersaturated. These precipitates that fall out of the solution form encrusting lime-scale. Flow-Tech successfully & measurably eliminates these precipitates by the low frequency signal that is pulsed several thousand times per second then using an electromagnetic signal, the Flow-Tech successfully reverses the charge on the minerals causing them to dissolve in the water. This new state forces the minerals to form crystals that remain in suspension until they are harmlessly washed away with the waste water.
