LARGE-SCALE
Chemical-free limescale protection for large-scale needs
BIOCAT lime protection systems work with our patented technology based on nature's biomineralization and work without the use of salt. The cost-effective systems are suitable for residential complexes and apartment blocks, where the systems ensure high drinking water quality and energy efficiency through natural lime protection.
Maintenance-free systems with low operating costs
Regardless of water consumption, the systems are virtually maintenance-free for five years, after which the catalyst granulate is replaced. This means there is no need for technician assistance during operation. Similarly, there is no need to refill or store salt. The systems are made of stainless steel, gunmetal and other durable materials to ensure a long service life and low operating costs.
Wide range for all needs
BIOCAT systems take up very little space and are easy to integrate and handle. They are available in different capacities, with the largest sized for 1,136 homes or 250,000 l per day. The systems can also be connected in series to increase the daily capacity to very large systems.
In waterworks, for example, the largest standard system can handle up to 219,000 m3 per year - and this can be series-connected for even greater output.
In addition to large-scale solutions for housing complexes, BIOCAT systems are also used today in commercial and public buildings and the operation of photovoltaic systems.
Meets all standards
The chemical-free systems ensure the quality of the entire drinking water system and fulfil all technical and normative standards of any size. As an additional feature, the systems offer increased safety in the event of a power failure thanks to automatic bypass mode - and easy integration, efficient maintenance, and control through connection to the building management system.
Preserving healthy minerals and good flavor
BIOCAT systems are suitable for all water hardness levels and do not alter the quality and natural composition of the drinking water. The drinking water thus retains its healthy minerals and good flavor. With BIOCAT systems, no salt is discharged and there is no phosphate load in the wastewater.

The BIOCAT KS series is dimensioned up to 1,136 homes
The KS series provides effective limescale protection with systems dimensioned for 18 homes up to 1,136 homes - equivalent to approx. 250,000 l/day.
The systems can be connected in series and can therefore be customized for solutions with much higher daily flow rates, e.g. in residential complexes, hospitals, and industry.
The systems provide reliable protection for the entire drinking water installation and are also suitable for operating a photovoltaic system and/or a plate heat exchanger.
The KS series has its own built-in thermal disinfection without chemicals and all models fulfil the requirements of the Drinking Water Ordinance.
All systems are characterized by these benefits:
- Low annual operating costs
- Easy installation
- Uncomplicated and reliable operation
- Minimal maintenance (every five years the granulate is replaced)
- No chemicals
These KS series systems are additionally DSWG-certified regarding hygiene and proven limescale protection:
KS 3000, KS 4000, KS 5000-S, KS 5500-S, KS 6500-S, KS 7000-S, KS 8000, KS 11000, KS 14000, KS 3.5D, KS 5D
BIOCAT WS series: Optimal limescale protection for high-capacity hot water tanks
BIOCAT WS 9 to WS 12 are suitable for extremely large hot water capacities in a very short time - up to 5,000 l per hour in continuous flow. The systems are typically used for requirements from 50 to 240 homes - and are suitable for all water hardness.
All systems are easy to install and are very compact, with the largest system requiring just 0.5m2 of space in the plant room. The units provide effective monitoring and logging of temperature fluctuations in hot water and are excellent for treating unsaturated water.
The systems generate no pressure loss as they are installed in a separate circulation line to the hot water tank.
BIOCAT WS systems are characterized by these advantages:
- Low annual operating costs
- Easy installation
- Uncomplicated and reliable operation
- Minimal maintenance (every five years the granulate is replaced)
- No chemicals
- Optimal cost planning (service contracts)
The entire WS range is also DSWG-certified in terms of hygiene and proven limescale protection.
Effective lime protection in the Rintheimer Feld neighbourhood in Karlsruhe
Driving through the Rintheimer Feld neighbourhood, it's immediately apparent: the many apartment blocks have been beautifully renovated. But it's not just the facades that look neat and new. The interior of the buildings and installations have also been improved. This also applies to the local water supply, where the green BIOCAT limescale protection systems now ensure lime-free pipes and hygienic, tasty drinking water.

PUMA's green ambitions demanded chemical-free lime protection
When planning a new headquarters, PUMA's ambition was to be the first climate-neutral headquarters in the industry. This also included the drinking water technology, which had to be chemical-free. Resource consumption and technology choices had to align with PUMA's green vision. The key word was "sustainability" - and BIOCAT lime protection systems were the natural choice.
