THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED: WHY FLOW-TECH WINS
Recent studies funded by the U.S. Department of Energy illustrate the underlying mechanism behind Flow-Tech's dominant design and performance in preventing scale.
NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR WATER INNOVATION
NAWI is a research program and public-private partnership supported by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) in partnership with the California Department of Water Resources and the California State Water Resources Control Board. NAWI brings together a world-class team of industry and academic partners to examine the critical technical barriers and research needed to radically lower the cost and energy of desalination and water reuse. NAWI is led by DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in collaboration with the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly the National Renewable Energy Laboratory), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Energy Technology Laboratory, and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and funded by the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation’s Industrial Technologies Office and Hydropower Office.

So you’ve come to learn the science behind “chemical-free” water treatment technologies. It's time to discuss actual facts of snake oil vs lab validated technology. Let's take a look at the underlying properties of EMF for water treatment.
FLOW-TECH IS THE ONLY OMNIPRESENT WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
Recent DOE-funded research confirms that Flow-Tech overcomes the two major flaws of all previous magnetic and electromagnetic treatment systems: dwell time and flow rate. Flow-Tech's unique and proprietary method propagates our treatment signal through the entire fluid column, regardless of flow. Read the full paper here.
FLOW-TECH OUTPERFORMS ALL OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
Flow-Tech’s proprietary water treatment technology delivers “direct EMF” properties, including a strong electric field responsible for accelerating crystallization and changing the landing site for scaling ions such as calcium and magnesium.
How does Flow-Tech compare to the other guys? Flow-Tech's crucial electric field is more than 83X times stronger than the next closest technology. Read the full paper here.

EFFECTIVE SCALE CONTROL THROUGH ACCELERATED CRYSTALLIZATION
Flow-Tech neutralizes scaling ions by changing the path of least resistance from equipment surfaces to suspended hosts, such as colloids. As a result, tiny seed crystals form and harmlessly float throughout the piping system until they are removed via flow, blowdown, or caught in a filter.
FLOW-TECH UNIQUELY MITIGATES SILICA SCALING
In a separate paper, researchers discovered that Flow-Tech alters the typical morphology of silica deposits, resulting in a more granular and porous layer. As a results, silica scale becomes less adherent, allows for sustained flux, and improved recovery after hydraulic flushing. Read the full paper here.
FLOW-TECH OPTIMIZES HYDRAULIC FLUSHING AGAINST GYPSUM SCALING
“Scales formed under [Flow-Tech] consisted of smaller, needle-like crystals that were less adherent. This morphological transformation suggests that [Flow-Tech] modifies gypsum crystallization, promoting the formation of less dense and more fragmented structures that are more easily removed through [hydraulic flushing].” Read the full paper here.
