ARAGO mini

Product detailed description

Protection against limescale		Extended lifespan of appliances		Reduced energy consumption		Environmental friendliness		Easy installation and maintenance

ARAGO mini is an ion system for treating source water that prevents the formation of calcium deposits. It is primarily designed for installation before household appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, or boilers (hot water storage tanks). Its operation significantly extends the lifespan of these devices.

The ion treatment system ARAGO represents a modern, eco-friendly, and maintenance-free water treatment solution that does not require electricity or chemicals. This contributes to a reduction in operating and maintenance costs. The device provides reliable protection against limescale for 6 to 8 years, depending on the water quality, its composition, and flow rate.

Zinc ions released by the ARAGO device cause a permanent change in the structure of carbonate minerals contained in the water, preventing their deposition. The modified minerals are subsequently gradually washed away from the plumbing system. This treatment method preserves not only all essential minerals in the water but also its original taste and smell.

The product is made from the highest quality materials that are hygienically safe and designed for contact with drinking water. It complies with the requirements of Regulation 409/2005 Coll. on hygienic requirements for products coming into contact with drinking water.

How the ARAGO system works?

Water hardness is primarily caused by the presence of dissolved calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO₃). Heating the water leads to the transformation of this bicarbonate into insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). The subsequent precipitation of carbonate and its deposition on the surface of heat exchangers, heating elements, or pipes leads to the formation of "hard limescale". This limescale is a form of calcium carbonate known as calcite.

The ARAGO device utilizes a natural electrochemical process in which zinc ions are released into the water. These ions cause calcium carbonate not to crystallize as hard calcite, but in the form of aragonite, which is non-sticky and easily removable. Although calcite and aragonite are chemically identical (both are forms of calcium carbonate), they differ in structure and physical properties.

If a small amount of aragonite still settles, for example in devices with low water flow like an electric kettle, it can be easily removed by wiping. The change in the structure of calcite and aragonite is permanent.

		Technical parameters Connection: ¾“RF x ¾“M Dimensions (A x B): 34 x 169 mm Flow rate: 1.2 m3/h Pressure loss: 10 kPa Max. working pressure: 10 bar Max. operating temperature: 65 °C
Installation The device is intended for installation in the water supply system, ensuring that working pressure, flow, and temperature do not exceed the technical parameters of the product. The ARAGO MINI device is installed before specific appliances, either horizontally or vertically, regardless of the direction of water flow.
New spiral / Treated with the ARAGO system / Untreated		Lifespan The ARAGO MINI treatment system has a lifespan of 6 to 8 years, depending on the chemical composition and throughput of the source water. A sign of the device's failure is the reappearance of hard limescale. If the device is installed along with a mechanical impurities filter, it is recommended to regularly clean the filter mesh of accumulated impurities.

Advantages of the ARAGO system:

• Protection against limescale - changes the structure of calcium carbonate, preventing the formation and deposition of hard limescale.

• Extended lifespan of appliances - limits the accumulation of limescale, thereby extending the lifespan of appliances and reducing the need for maintenance or repairs.

• Reduced energy consumption - does not require a power source and maintains the efficiency of heating coils and heat exchangers.

• Environmental friendliness - does not use chemicals, preserves healthy minerals in the water, and reduces detergent consumption.

• Easy installation and maintenance - Installation is quick, universal, and suitable for all types of piping with minimal maintenance requirements.
