Aqua Energie
AQUA ENERGIE series machine deploys a specialized physical
treatment device to improve the quality of water. The effect is more
visible in hard waters areas.
The special device is a part of the water in take system.
It breaks the bi-carbonates in water into miscroscopic crystals and
reduces tendency of the crystals to stick to any surface.
This in turn makes the crystals flow with water and improves the
power of detergents solution. The reduced surface tension of the
treated water facilitates wetting of clothes and improves detergents
action.
ADVANTAGES* OF AQUA ENERGIE.
Reduced scaling on components such as Heater & Tub.
Reduction in detergent consumption.
Reduction in detergent traces in washed clothes.
Improvement in wash quality.
*Depend on hardness of water supplied to the machine.
