ntroduction

Aquabion^® and Keraflo, both leaders in their respective fields, have joined forces to offer an innovative water management solution that tackles limescale issues in commercial buildings.

Aquabion^®, a proven provider of water conditioners, specialises in preventing limescale build-up without the use of chemicals or salt.

Keraflo, part of the Cistermiser Group, is known for its precision-engineered delayed action inlet valves that manage water storage with efficiency and reliability.

Building a Smart Partnership

This partnership was born out of a shared goal to support commercial clients in protecting their water systems and improving operational efficiency. Steven Gale, Business Development Manager at Cistermiser and Keraflo, and Gary Haseltine, Commercial Regional Sales Manager at Aquabion^®, recognised the synergy between their products and the added value they could bring to customers by working together.

The two companies recently collaborated on three commercial projects, including one at a Rugby Club, where their combined solution was successfully implemented.

Understanding the Customer Challenge

In many commercial environments, such as hotels, schools, hospitals, and sports facilities, limescale build-up is a persistent and costly problem. Over time, limescale clogs water heaters and shower heads, reduces heating efficiency, increases energy consumption, and leads to frequent breakdowns and expensive maintenance.

Often, the damage goes unseen until it’s too late, unlike the visible scale build-up in a kettle, commercial water systems can silently degrade from within, leading to significant long-term costs.

The Joint Solution

The effectiveness of Aquabion^®’s water conditioners relies on accurate sizing based on peak flow rates. The closer the system operates to its peak flow, the more frequently the Aquabion unit enters its self-cleaning phase, ensuring longer product life and consistent protection against limescale.

This is where Keraflo plays a crucial role. Keraflo’s delayed action float valves operate with an open-or-close action, delivering a true peak flow of water. This guarantees the conditions Aquabion^®needs to function at its best. By working together, Keraflo ensures optimal flow, while Aquabion^®delivers reliable limescale protection.

By working together, these two systems:

Prevent the build-up of limescale
Improve energy efficiency of water heaters
Extend the life of appliances and fixtures
Reduce maintenance needs and system downtime

Industries That Benefit

This collaborative solution is ideal for any sector where commercial water usage is high.

Key industries include:

Healthcare (hospitals and care homes)
Education (schools, colleges, and universities)
Hospitality (hotels, leisure centres, spas)
Transport hubs (airports and train stations)
Retail and commercial premises (shopping centres, office blocks)
Sports and recreation facilities

Conclusion

The partnership between Aquabion^® and Keraflo is a great example of how collaboration can drive better results for customers. By combining their expertise and complementary technologies, they are helping commercial organisations take proactive control of limescale, protect infrastructure, and reduce running costs.
