Limescale protection of water systems
Avoid extra energy costs and damage due to limescale buildup on pipes and installations
If you have a lot of lime in your water, the lime will form deposits in pipes and on household appliances. This results in higher energy consumption, more water consumption and more cleaning. A BIOCAT system prevents the lime from sticking. This way you save both energy, water and time on cleaning. An average household can save over 30 DKK per day, and places with high water consumption can save many thousands every day.
How Biocat protects the entire water system
BIOCAT uses a patented catalyst technology inspired by nature's biomineralization. Lime in the water is converted into microscopic crystals that are flushed out with the water, preventing limescale deposits from forming in installations.
Choose stable operation, long service life and minimal maintenance
Maintenance-free for five years
Regardless of water consumption, the systems are maintenance-free for five years, after which the catalyst granulate must be replaced.
There is no need for assistance from technicians or service personnel during operation, and there is no need to refill or store operating materials.
Patented catalyst technology
WATERCryst systems are based on our patented catalyst technology, which ensures that the value of the entire drinking water system is maintained and meets technical and normative standards.
This applies regardless of the scale of your project - and whether the installation is in single-family homes, housing associations, commercial or public buildings.
Limescale protection with high drinking water quality and energy efficiency
The cost-effective BIOCAT systems are suitable for industry, hotels, residential complexes, and apartment blocks, among others, where they protect installations and technology from limescale damage and ensure high drinking water quality and energy efficiency through natural limescale protection.
Preserving healthy limescale and natural flavor
BIOCAT limescale protection systems are characterized by the fact that they remove the bad properties of limescale from drinking water - while preserving the natural and healthy limescale content. In this way, BIOCAT systems ensure, that drinking water retains its good, natural flavor.

Scalable from single-family homes up to large housing associations
BIOCAT is available in several sizes with different capacities – from solutions for single-family homes to larger systems for industry and housing associations. For greater needs, several systems can be connected in series, thus achieving a virtually infinite capacity.
BIOCAT systems are chemical-free because the process in a BIOCAT system works without the addition of salt and phosphates.
The great advantage of chemical-free water treatment is that the wastewater from a BIOCAT system is completely clean drinking water - a BIOCAT system does not release any harmful substances into the environment. A side benefit of chemical-free water treatment is that much less rinse water is required than with other water treatment methods.
When lime changes its properties, it means that the lime loses its ability to adhere to surfaces and form deposits.
Calcium, which is primarily made up of minerals such as calcium carbonate, is especially important for building teeth and bones. Calcium is also important for a number of other bodily processes, and it's a good idea to include calcium-rich foods in your diet and maintain calcium in your drinking water.
Taste is subjective, but the calcium in drinking water helps to give it a natural flavour. When cooking or brewing coffee, the minerals in the lime are also essential flavour carriers. Many people believe that removing the lime gives the water a soapy or flat flavor.
Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms produce their inorganic components such as shells, tooth enamel and bones. Several biominerals are known, of which calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the most common. It is found in seashells - and is one of the building blocks of the patented WATERCryst catalyst technology.
A 550-million-year-old method
Fossil evidence shows that organisms that use biomineralization to form skeletons, for example, have existed in the oceans for at least 550 million years. In other words: BIOCAT plants utilize a highly proven and successful process.
Hardness is defined as the total dissolved calcium and magnesium content of the water - and is dependent on the type of water in the subsoil where each waterworks extracts water.
In general, the water is hardest on Zealand, Falster, Lolland, Møn and Funen. Jutland has the most soft and medium-hard water, but there are also areas where the water is hard in the western part of Denmark.
High calcium content in the water can lead to calcified pipes, frequent repairs to household appliances, extra cleaning and higher heating bills.

CASES
Certified drinking water quality, material selection and effect
BIOCAT systems are a safe and durable solution for drinking water. They are tested and certified by independent bodies. DVGW certification documents function, quality and durability, while ÖVGW ensures high requirements for materials, hygiene and drinking water safety. Overall, this provides a reliable solution.
