June 2023 → September 2023
Protocol
- Installation of an IRRIG POWER on a reel for a corn irrigation season
- Initially, new fittings installed before and after IRRIG POWER
- Very hard water (TH = 28 °f)
Observation
Much less limescale deposits on the fitting after IRRIG POWER than on the fitting before.

Conclusion
IRRIG POWER LM transforms limestone in the form of calcite into aragonite: it remains in solution in the water, crystallizes less in the pipes and limits pipe clogging.
