Efficacy Testing of Water Conditioning Technology

H20 & More

This new partnership between George Brown College and H2O and More Inc, an Ontario-based SME will test claims that H2O’s water conditioning units are more environmentally friendly than traditional units for treating hard water. These products use a technology that causes the minerals, including limestone, to form nano-crystals and pass through pipes, rather than forming lime deposits and corrosion. The water chemistry is not changed but the properties of the water are, and as trace elements and minerals are not removed it is safe and healthy to drink. This study tests the efficacy of the product for reducing the scaling and corrosion of pipes.
