All the questions you may have about
ACQUA SANA and its products.
💧 Are ACQUA SANA systems traditional water softeners?​​​
No, because ACQUA SANA products do not remove limescale. Instead, they neutralize and transform it so that it doesn’t settle in pipes or on heating elements.
Traditional water softeners only treat hot water. Cold water systems and appliances remain exposed to scale. Installation almost always requires a professional to handle it. When you add the high initial cost, maintenance, and consumables, the bill quickly adds up! There's also excess water consumption during the discharge of salty water. Finally, hot water may sometimes change in taste due to the presence of sodium.
Salt-based softeners do eliminate calcium, but they come with major drawbacks: the released sodium is a highly polluting and harmful substance, both for human health and for plumbing systems.
The main advantage of ACQUA SANA’s anti-scale system is that it works on both hot and cold water, and can be installed across the entire water network — including swimming pools, for example. Moreover, installation is simple and does not require a professional. It’s a device that needs no maintenance or consumables. Finally, it does not alter the taste of the water. It uses no salt, so the water remains drinkable and protects your equipment. It is thus a physical solution, not a chemical one.
​​​​
💧 Does ACQUA SANA eliminate existing scale?​
Yes, existing scale is eliminated after a few months. Its curative action reduces scale buildup in pipes, electric water heaters, salt chlorinators, and pool filters.​
​
As for its preventive action, ACQUA SANA helps avoid scale deposits in the plumbing system.
​​
​
💧Can ACQUA SANA products be installed on all types of piping?​
Yes, they can be installed on all types of piping: copper, steel, PVC, polyethylene.
​​
​​​​
💧Do ACQUA SANA products require maintenance?​
No, they do not require any maintenance since the device has no wear parts or moving components.
​
​​​​
💧 What sets ACQUA SANA's anti-scale solution apart from other systems?​
ACQUA SANA operates without any chemicals, consumes no energy, and requires no maintenance. It does not alter the water's composition or affect its drinkability.
It remains effective regardless of water flow and is unaffected by external electric fields.
The magnets used in the device are assembled and assembled with micron-level precision, ensuring high product quality and a lifespan exceeding 30 years. It is a safe device, the magnetics fields are insulated from the outside thanks to its outer shielding tube (A-magnetic).
​
​​​​
💧 Why is ACQUA SANA's anti-scale system a smart solution for swimming pools?​
The ACQUA SANA device gradually removes mineral buildup and significantly reduces the need for chemical treatments—particularly chlorine—during pool maintenance. It also helps prevent pool algae formation.
The result is:
-
A cleaner pool
-
A healthier swimming environment
-
A more cost-efficient solution

💧 How do the magnets in the magnetic water softener work?​
The magnetic device prevents scale buildup on plumbing installations without altering the water’s composition and without adding chemicals or salt.
Calcium and bicarbonate ions—responsible for limescale formation—naturally flow through pipes with the water. As the water passes through the section equipped with magnets, these ions undergo successive polarity shifts due to the magnetic fields. This continuous polarity change leads to the breaking up of crystals and the formation of non-encrusting powder (aragonite). This process, known as nucleation, ensures that scale does not adhere to pipes or heating elements.
The technology is specifically designed to address the high calcium content found in waters, and is based on the principles of Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (MHD). The system's efficiency is independent of the water’s flow speed, thanks to the strategic number and positioning of the magnets.
The device works with all types of piping materials: copper, galvanized steel, aluminum, PVC, polyethylene, and more.
​​
💧 Does the performance of ACQUA SANA products depend on the installation materials, pipe diameter, or wall thickness?​
No, the product is effective regardless of the pipe material, its diameter, or wall thickness. It performs reliably within a pressure range of 0 to 9 bars.
Water flow can range from 25 liters/mn to 300 liters/minute.
Distance does not influence performance either, provided the system is closed.
The product’s efficiency remains consistent over time. The only factor that could potentially affect performance is magnet aging; however, the magnets remain fully effective for at least 30 years.
