Think of it like this:
👉 When two different metals touch in water, a tiny #electric reaction happens between them.
This is called the #galvanic effect — like a mini #battery made from metal and water.
🧲 How does this help in a #waterconditioner?
In an alloy core catalytic water conditioner, two different metals (like zinc and copper, or others) are placed together inside the device.
When water flows over them:
- The galvanic reaction creates a small electric field.
- This causes #minerals like #calcium and #magnesium (which make water “hard”) to change shape.
- Instead of forming hard, sticky scale on pipes and pumps…
- The minerals stay suspended in the water or form a soft powder that doesn’t stick.
- It can also weaken or break down #biofilm, #algae, and #corrosion in some cases.
🧼 Simple result:
- Less #scale on #pipes and #pumps
- Better water #flow
- Longer life for equipment
- No #chemicals used
🛠 Why does the alloy matter?
👉 The type of metals (the “#alloy”) used in the core is important:
- Different metal combinations = different galvanic reactions
- The stronger the reaction, the better the conditioning of the water
