- All mineralized water (including tap water) contains limestone which is transformed under the effect of heat into scale which initially appears in the form of aragonite (softer and more soluble scale) which eventually turns into calcite (hard and compact scale which becomes encrusted and hardens inside sanitary pipes).
- This limestone will precipitate around the resistances of the boiler-water heater (which heats the water up to a maximum of 55 ° C) and will turn into tartar, which will reduce its energy efficiency, but it will, in time, also become embedded to the inside of the sanitary pipes with the risk of clogging them!
- In order to avoid these inconveniences, it is therefore necessary to treat this limestone by transforming its mineralogical structure in order to make it more soluble, which prevents it from becoming encrusted. Limestone therefore remains present in the water, but it no longer has any inconveniences.
- Thanks to its permanent magnets and the magnetic fields generated, the Biodynamizer treats limestone for all tap water with a hardness of up to 40 ° f (French degree).
- Please note that the Biodynamizer does not remove limescale like a water softener; instead, it pulverizes it, making it less prone to encrustation and significantly easier to clean off. If your setup requires softened water (water with limescale removed)—such as for steam ovens, Quooker systems, industrial kitchens, restaurants, steam rooms, Jacuzzis, or pool filtration systems—you will need to combine our units (Biofilter + Biodynamizer) with a water softener (installed upstream of our devices) set to 15°f, and ensure the Biofilter cartridge is replaced every 6 months instead of 12.
- Above 40 ° f (French degrees) of city water hardness (very hard water), we therefore recommend placing an additional limescale treatment device, the Biolimescaler® (in addition to the Biodynamizer®). The Biolimescaler® treats limestone by modifying its mineralogical structure (from calcite to aragonite) as well as the morphology of the limestone crystals (their size increases = early germination of the tartar). In addition, Biolimescaler® helps to eliminate existing encrustations in the pipes.
- The Biolimescaler® is made up of 12 natural magnets in samarium-cobalt alloy surrounded by food-safe Teflon which produce an intense alternating magnetic field (NS / SN) of 10,000 Gauss (1 T). Result:
- There is no longer any adherence of scale inside the sanitary pipes
- Old limestone incrustations disappear
- The mass of scale remaining around the resistances and in the bottom of the boiler decreases very significantly
- The Biolimescaler® requires no maintenance, no consumables, no electricity, no drainage and is guaranteed for life!

Please note:
The Biofilter removes pollutants but does not remove minerals—such as calcium and magnesium—that form limescale.
The Biodynamizer breaks down limescale, making it less prone to adhering to surfaces and thus harmless, as it is easy to clean away; however, it does not remove the limescale itself the way a water softener does. Consequently, the limescale remains present and visible in the water, albeit in the form of fragmented white powder. The Biolimescaler enhances this breakdown process—further fragmenting the limescale—and can therefore be viewed as an amplifier of the ecological limescale treatment provided by the Biodynamizer. It acts as a booster for the Biodynamizer when water is extremely hard (approx. 40°f) or if you are particularly sensitive to limescale issues. However, it does not remove the limescale.
Water treated by the Biofiltre and Biodynamizer is unsoftened water—specifically, filtered water, which does not retain limescale, and dynamized water, which does not remove limescale.
This implies the following:
- For pool professionals: You must verify the compatibility of the swimming pool or jacuzzi filtration system with unsoftened water (water containing limescale).
- For professional kitchens (restaurants, hotels, spas, etc.)—where appliances such as dishwashers operate frequently and heat to high temperatures, thereby accelerating limescale buildup—consider installing a water softener upstream of these units to adjust water hardness to the levels specified by the manufacturers and suppliers of this professional equipment.
- For private households: If your appliances or installations are sensitive to limescale and require softened water (water from which limescale has been removed)—such as taps that rapidly heat or carbonate water, certain steam ovens, hammams, etc.—you should check with the manufacturer or supplier regarding the compatibility of unsoftened water with these devices. In such cases, it may be necessary to combine our units with a water softener. Please note that any reduction in limescale results in the addition of sodium (a component of salt that is tasteless) to your drinking water via the softener. This sodium is not removed by the Biofilter (it passes right through). For example, a reduction of 20°f (French degrees) adds 20 x 4.6 mg of sodium per liter of softened water, or approximately 100 mg/L. Given that European standards (Drinking Water Directive) limit sodium levels in drinking water to a maximum of 200 mg/L, and that the EFSA recommends a daily water intake of 2 liters, we therefore advise—whenever possible—adjusting your water softener settings based on these parameters (i.e., to between 15°f and 20°f).
