Engineered water integrity
Lysor is the only water treatment that removes limescale and biofilm deposits and prevents them from reappearing. No harsh chemicals, no water alteration, and no system shutdown.
What is Lysor?
A continuous treatment based on a mixture of food-grade inert gases.
Once in the water, it dissolves existing and incoming limescale.
At the same time, it reduces free oxygen, removing the environment that biofilm needs to form and protect bacteria such as Legionella.
The entire treatment does not alter the water and can be easily integrated into any system in a non-invasive way.
How it works
Lysor operates continuously within systems, in a sustainable and long-lasting way.
Here’s what makes its action effective and different from other treatments.
Removes existing build-up and prevents future recurrence
A single, non-invasive solution that targets both limescale and bacterial growth at the source.
Does not alter water quality
It addresses critical issues without changing the taste, pH, smell, or composition of the water, and without removing beneficial minerals.
Optimizes consumption based on usage
The gas blend is active only when the system is running, with no waste or additional recirculation.
No chemical input required
The system is biological, leaves no toxic residues or reagents, and minimizes reliance on chemical treatments like chlorine.
Compact and space-efficient
The installation is simple, compact, and scaled to the size of the system being treated.
Operates without system shutdown
The solution can be integrated without affecting supply or production flow.
Fields of application
Sectors and operational contexts where Lysor can be
effectively integrated.
Hotels and hospitality facilities
For Legionella prevention and water system protection in hotels, B&Bs, spas, and wellness centers.

For safe water treatment in high-traffic environments with significant water recirculation.
Food Service and Corporate Canteens
For protecting water networks in industrial kitchens and shared-use environments subject to strict hygiene regulations.
Healthcare and Assisted Living
For bacterial risk prevention in hospitals, care homes, and medical practices, where microbiological water quality is essential to protecting patient health.
Personal Care Services
To ensure safety and quality in water-related processes in laundries, hair salons, beauty centers, and spas.
Food and manufacturing industries
For the protection of heat exchangers, industrial piping, and production systems where water is an integral part of the process.
Agriculture and irrigation
For protecting irrigation systems and ensuring water quality for agricultural use and production.
Treatment and distribution systems (cooling towers, heat exchangers)
To reduce biological risk and improve thermal efficiency in both civil and industrial systems.
