IonPolarization System
The physical-galvanic water treatment
A new revolutionary system for preventing limescale and removing existing from water heaters, pipes, mixers, showers and all equipment through which water flows with certified efficiency up to 76% (confirmed efficiency of KalyxX Active up to 90%). IPS use energy of spinning water and electrodes creating a galvanic potential up to 4.5 V.
Key features
- Change hard calcite to soft aragonite.
- Reduce the need to de-scale tankless heaters, mixers, showers.
- Doesn‘t restrict household water pressure.
- Connects directly to copper, CPVC or PVC pipe.
- Adapts easily for PEX and other pipe types.
- Environmentally friendly and chemical-free.
- No electricity required.
- Easy-to-install and maintenance-free.
- Extends the life and efficiency of new and existing water heaters, mixers, showers…
- Certified for long-term contact with drinking water.
IPS (Ion Polarization System) is designed for the physical-galvanic water treatment for households, public buildings and industrial plants. IPS is suitable for new pipelines for prevention, but also for the old ones, where it gradually removes existing deposits.
IPS Kalyxx is a flow-through body with inlet and outlet ports. Inside are placed turbine-shaped electrodes (not magnets) of two different electrically conductive materials.

How the IPS works
IPS effectively prevents the formation of solid sediments and corrosion in cold and hot water appliances. IPS is a flow-through body with inside placed turbine-shaped electrodes of two different electrically conductive materials. The electrode design is patent-protected (TGP® – Turbulent Galvanic Polarization) and generates a swirling water flow, causing a change in the structure of the minerals. See how IPS works on video below.
Effect of IPS on sedimentation scale in an electric kettle
Day 1 – 15
The old limescale made from calcite is gradually washed away.
Day 30
The new sedimentations (aragonite) are easy to wipe away.

Recommended water properties
Generally recommended water properties for usage with the IPS KalyxX*:
PH | 6,5 - 8,5 |
| Iron | < 0.5 mg/l |
| Hardness | < 25 °dH (4.464 mmol/l) | Kalyxx Active <32 °dH (5.696 mmol/l). |
EC | < 150 ms/m |
TDS | < 950 ppm |
| Salinity | < 2000 mg/l |
* In a case when water properties are different as recommended, please contact us for individual evaluation.
What is Scale?
When water comes from areas high in calcium or magnesium carbonate, hard water leaves mineral deposits commonly known as “lime scale” on plumbing components, mixers, showers, appliances.
Scale buildup can block pipes, thermostatic cartridges, faucet aerators, showers and cause components to fail. It’s unsightly, leaves white deposits on clothes and dishes and is a constant nuisance for end-users. More signifcantly, scale build-up on water heater elements reduces their overall effciency and drives up energy bills.
- Restricts Flow
- Slows Transfer of Heat
- Decreases Effciency
- Damages Heating Elements
- Decreases Water Pressure
- Shortens Life Span
- Requires Frequent and Costly Maintenance
Testing
We regularly conduct efficacy testing.
We have customers in more than 20 countries worldwide (USA, Israel, EU, Thailand, China, etc.). Each of our customers conducted their own testing before starting sales.
USA – ScaleRX (IPS)
In June 2019, two 40-gallon gas water heaters from the same manufacturer were installed by two suppliers. The test houses were located in Houston, Texas, and had similar usage rates. After one year, the unit installed without ScaleRX produced 1 liter of sediment, while the unit installed with ScaleRX produced zero sediment.
