What is Lysor and how does it work?
Lysor is a water treatment based on a mixture of inert, non-toxic, non-flammable, food-grade gases. It reduces limescale, biofilm, and associated microorganisms without aggressive chemicals and without altering the water.
What gases make up the mixture?
Food-grade inert gases, completely safe for use in drinking water.
How does Lysor remove limescale and biofilm?
The mixture dissolves in water, solubilizes limescale and sediments, reduces free oxygen, and renders the biofilm inactive. In this way, it eliminates existing deposits and prevents them from reforming.
Does Lysor change the pH, taste, or composition of water?
No. It does not alter pH, taste, smell, or mineral composition. Drinking water remains drinkable; non-compliant water is not transformed into drinking water.
Is Lysor treatment safe for drinking water and water systems?
Yes. The mixture consists of inert gases and does not introduce any unwanted substances into the water.
Does Lysor also work with very hard water or high temperatures?
Yes. It also works in very hard water and under extreme conditions: up to 572 °F and 60 bar.
Is Lysor effective against biofilm and associated bacteria?
Yes. By reducing free oxygen and acting on the protective layer, it gradually removes the biofilm and prevents it from reforming.
Is the treatment permanent or does it need to be repeated?
Lysor is a continuous, stabilizing treatment:
– eliminates existing deposits
– prevents the reappearance of limescale and biofilm
– keeps the system stable over time
Does Lysor consume water or produce wastewater?
No. It treats water in line and does not produce wastewater.
What kind of maintenance does Lysor require?
Minimum: no mechanical or electronic parts. The only component subject to replacement is the cylinder.
How long does the gas tank last?
It varies depending on water consumption: the dosage is proportional to the flow rate. When the system is shut down, the mixture is not consumed.
Why choose Lysor instead of traditional systems?
Because it combines in a single system what normally requires multiple technologies:
– removes existing deposits
– prevents future deposits
– does not alter the water
– does not use aggressive chemicals
– does not require machine downtime
– does not generate waste water
– operates continuously
Is the treatment reversible?
Yes. When removed, the implant returns to its original state without leaving any residue.
Where can the Lysor system be used?
Lysor can be used in any system where water circulates, including:
– homes and apartment blocks
– hotels, spas, swimming pools, gyms
– clinics, care homes, hospitals
– industrial and food processing facilities
– waterworks
– ships and the maritime sector
– heating systems and heat exchangers
– water purification and treatment plants
Is Lysor suitable for industrial or high-temperature systems?
Yes: its effectiveness increases with temperature.
Is it suitable for environments with a high microbiological risk (e.g. Legionella)?
Yes. It has been tested in healthcare and dental settings with measurable reductions in microbiological parameters, including Legionella.
Do we need to shut down the plant to install Lysor?
No. Installation is performed via a bypass, without any downtime and without any invasive modifications.
Is Lysor suitable for industrial or high-temperature systems?
Yes. Lysor works progressively and in a controlled manner even on old or partially clogged pipes.
Is Lysor compatible with chlorine-based disinfection?
Yes, it is fully compatible with hypochlorite, monochloramine and other disinfectants.
Does the mixture work in both open and closed systems?
Yes. Lysor has been tested in healthcare and dental settings with measurable reductions in microbiological parameters, including Legionella.
Is it suitable for environments with a high microbiological risk (e.g., Legionella)?
What improvements can be achieved with a system treated with Lysor?
– Restoration of the useful diameter of pipes
– Improved flow rate and reduced pressure losses
– More efficient heat exchangers (less limescale and biofilm)
– Improved thermal efficiency
– More stable and safer systems over time
How much can you save with Lysor?
A clean system requires:
– Less energy for pumping
– More efficient heat exchangers
– Less maintenance
– Fewer additional chemicals
When will the first results of Lysor be visible?
The detachment of the surface biofilm can be observed within the first 24 hours. The process continues and stabilizes over the following days.
Is it normal to see turbidity at the beginning of treatment?
In some cases, yes: it indicates that biofilm is detaching. This clears up on its own.
Is Lysor backed by scientific studies?
Yes. The technology has been validated by:
– University of Genoa
– Italian Navy
– Eco-Research / NOI Techpark
– Acireale Hospital
– University of Catania
– Independent laboratories
What do the tests on the mixture show?
– Removal and solubilization of limescale
– Reduction and inactivation of biofilm
– Reduction of free oxygen
– Improved efficiency of heat exchangers
– Verifiable microbiological reductions
– Stability of results over time
