ARAGO is an ionic water treatment device that fundamentally eliminates limescale deposits in water pipes, heating elements, water tanks, taps and household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, irons, coffee machines, kettles). At the same time, it reduces the aggressiveness of the water. In this way, it protects water distribution systems and technologies not only from limescale deposits but also from corrosion in the long term.
ARAGO is a modern ecological and maintenance-free water treatment solution. It does not require an electrical power source or chemicals to operate. With this treatment device, there is no need to invest in cleaning agents against limescale, it reduces the costs of operation and subsequent servicing of appliances and equipment. The ARAGO water treatment device is designed for households, public buildings and industrial devices. They can be installed on new systems as well as on existing water distribution systems, where scale deposits that have already formed are gradually removed and flushed out of the system.
ARAGO is manufactured from hygienically safe materials of the highest quality and meets the requirements of Decree 409/2005 Coll. about hygiene requirements for products that come into contact with drinking water.
The hardness of water is mainly due to the dissolved calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO3) content. By changing the temperature (heating), the bicarbonate is converted to insoluble carbonate (CaCO3). Precipitation of carbonate and subsequent deposition on the surface of heat exchangers, heating coils or pipes creates hard "limescale". This hard limescale is one of the modifications of calcium carbonate-calcite. The ARAGO device works on a natural electrochemical principle, during which zinc ions are released. The presence of zinc ions in the water will cause the carbonate not to crystallise as hard calcite but to crystallise as a non-stick and easily leachable aragonite. Although calcite and aragonite are two chemically identical substances (calcium carbonate), they have different structures and physical properties. And if a small amount of aragonite does settle on the surface (in appliances where there is no water flow, such as a kettle), it can be easily wiped off. Changes in the structure of calcite and aragonite are permanent.
Protects against limescale
ARAGO releases zinc ions that change the crystal structure of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from a compact calcite to a non-stick and easily washable aragonite that is quickly and easily wiped away. ARAGO thus demonstrably reduces the negative effects of hard water and prevents the build-up of compact hard limescale.
Extends the service life of appliances
ARAGO effectively prevents the formation and deposition of limescale, thereby actively extending the life and improving the performance of various household appliances, technical equipment, water distribution systems and water tanks, helping to maintain their optimal condition and reducing the need for more frequent maintenance or repairs.
Reduces energy consumption
By preventing the formation and deposition of limescale on the coils of water heating equipment or heat exchangers, ARAGO does not reduce their efficiency and functionality and therefore does not increase electricity consumption. In addition, ARAGO works on a natural electrochemical principle, which is why the operation of ARAGA does not require an energy source.
Environmentally friendly
ARAGO is certified for long-term contact with drinking water. It does not use any chemical substances. The treatment device is recyclable. The ARAGO device presents a soft water effect, thereby reducing the consumption of detergents and washing-up liquid in the home. The water is not depleted of health-promoting substances (magnesium and calcium) and there is no accumulation of undesirable substances.
Easy installation and maintenance
Installation of the ARAGO Mini is extremely simple and convenient. With variants such as ARAGO Home and ARAGO Industry, any trained plumber can handle the installation without any problems. In addition, ARAGO is flexible, allowing installation in any position and on all water pipe materials.
