How Hydropath Marine technology affects bacteria and algae

Bacteria and/or algae that passes through the water conditioner’s ring of ferrites becomes charged by the Hydropath Marine signal. This charge forms a hydration layer of pure water around the cell. Osmosis forces water into the bacteria and/or algae, creating osmotic pressure, which ruptures the cell membrane and causes the cell to die.

In addition to eradication via osmosis, the Hydropath Marine signal interferes with the bacteria and/or algae cell membrane which causes it to perish.

As the Hydropath Marine signal passes along a metal pipe, it disrupts the bacteria and/or algae clinging to the rough inner surface, gradually releasing the biofoul over time.

Bacteria and algae management

A bacterium passing through the Hydropath Marine system becomes charged.

Water molecules are attracted to the charged bacterium thus creating a wetting layer of pure water.

Osmosis draws the pure water into the bacterium.

The osmotic pressure built inside the bacterium causes it to burst and die.
