Technical water is what we do
Technical applications demand high standards of water
quality. Gases, minerals and pollutants must be removed
from water using environmentally responsible processes,
until the water is suitable for the required application. We
call this: engineering water®.

PERFECT HEATING WATER
…. for an ecologically sound and efficient heating system
No rust
The SorbOx® filter separates rust and
sludge from the water, preventing
blockage of system components.
No scaling
The PUROTAP® cartridge absorbs all
dissolved minerals from the circulating
water within a few hours.
No gases
The ELYSATOR® unit removes corrosive
and acidic gases. Micro gas bubbles
are separated, collected and removed
through the venting network.
SorbOx®
Effective all round protection for heating water
SorbOx® LI
Protects against rust,
limescale and gases.
Advanced heating systems are very compact with high heating output.
However, they are more sensitive to rust, limescale and sludge, which
reduces heating efficiency. No system is completely impermeable:
fittings, air vent valves and threaded adaptors can allow the ingress of air.
Low operating temperatures, particularly in heat pumps, and higher
amounts of salt in cylinders also place huge demands on the heating
water. This can result in efficiency losses of 10-20 % after just 12 months.
The new SorbOx® is the result of over 40 years of research and
development in the field of water technology for heating systems. This
appliance is a perfect marriage of the most important cutting-edge
technologies.
SorbOx® is designed to support advanced, energy efficient heating
systems and preserve their value.

Rust damage is a widespread problem in heating
and cooling systems, leading to sludge deposits
formed by rust particles, malfunctions and material
damage.
The problem is caused by water quality that is
inferior to the technical requirements. Minerals,
salts and corrosive gases enter the system water
via the fill water and any seals that are not
sufficiently tight.
ELYSATOR® reliably solves this problem by
extracting the corrosive gases from the water
and using a sacrificial anode made from a special
alloy to bind acidic substances. The system is
measurable and reliable, with no chemicals or
external power supply, and is recommended
by renowned trade associations, institutes and
manufacturers. Installation and maintenance are
easy and affordable.
Suitable for all heating and cooling systems.

Water that has been desalinated by PUROTAP®
contains virtually no substances that can settle out
and be deposited in the boiler or heat exchanger.
Another advantage of PUROTAP® is that it removes
all neutral salts such as chloride, sulphate and
nitrate which can cause corrosion under certain
conditions.
Preferred applications
ÆÆ
Fill and top-up water for heating and cooling
systems
ÆÆ
Cleaning water for solar panels, windows, high
pressure cleaners etc.
ÆÆ
Water equivalent to distillate for irons,
dehumidifiers, aquariums etc.

Tested ion exchange resin
The quality and composition of the ion exchange resin used for full
desalination can have a major influence on whether or not a heating
system is subject to corrosion right from the start.
There are significant quality differences in the composition of ion
exchange resin. Ion exchange resins with only a small amount of anion
resin are low in price and appear to have a high desalination capacity.
In practice, however, they aerate the water with carbon dioxide after
a certain amount of time. Instead of the desired full desalination, only
partial desalination takes place combined with the formation of acid.
When filling the heating system, only the electrical conductivity is
checked, which means that it is not apparent whether correct full
desalination has taken place, or only partial desalination with the
formation of carbon dioxide.
+
ELYSATOR® therefore checks the production and mixing of its resin with
the utmost care. Only the best quality reaches the market.
PLEASE NOTE
Ion exchange resin with an
insufficient amount of anion resin
produces carbon dioxide!
Domestic hot water: with
minerals and gases
+
Special PUROTAP®
2-component mixing bed resin
Alkalisation
Correct full desalination can eliminate
the need for additional alkalisation. The
unpolluted circulating water is self-alkalised
within a few weeks of operation. However,
analytical follow-up checks of the pH value
are required all the same. Expert intervention
is required if self-alkalisation does not occur.
"Sacrificial anode" type corrosion protection
systems are self-regulating and suitable for
operation with low salt content according

!

NE
PUROTAP® expert operates with hyper filtration – a highly advanced
process.
Computer simulations helped designers optimise the flow pattern
of water inside the cleverly designed tank, resulting in high filtration
velocities that are unique to this system. The integral high pressure pump
enables the PUROTAP® expert to achieve a throughput of 20 l/min, or
1200 l/h.
Raw water is pushed inside the PUROTAP® expert at pressures of up to
18 bar through a filter diaphragm with a gauge width of less than one
nanometre – this equates to one millionth of a millimetre. This holds
back all dissolved solids, in other words, only pure water molecules pass
through the diaphragm.
The hyper filtered water is particularly suitable for technical applications,
as dissolved minerals, heavy metals and pesticides, as well as bacteria
and organic matter are removed from the water.
An optimised and fully automatic flushing process keeps the filter
diaphragm clean whilst in use. All PUROTAP® expert components operate
without use of power. Technical design innovations allowed controllers
and regulating valves that are susceptible to failure to be avoided.
On average, the filter diaphragm only needs to be replaced once every
100,000 litres*. Compared to ion exchange, this keeps running costs
substantially lower.

ELYSATOR® develops technical water
Turning a raw material into a technical fluid
Engineering water is what we do
For some technical applications water is subject to
requirements that are even stricter than those for potable
water. We develop water until it is suitable for the required
application. We call this engineering water.
Founded in 1950 by Heinrich Rickenbach, ELYSATOR Engineering
AG is a family business that is rich in tradition. In 2013, CEO
Manuel Rickenbach and his staff moved into a newly built
complex of offices, warehouse and production facilities
in Bilten, Switzerland that were tailored to the company's
continuing growth. Alongside its subsidiary ELYSATOR
Engineering GmbH in Germany, ELYSATOR® is represented in
around 20 countries worldwide.
Water filters from ELYSATOR® are manufactured mainly in
Switzerland and are used to clean water circuits for technical
purposes, such as those found in heating and cooling systems,
as well as in engine circuits on ships and in power plants.
Heating water directives – VDI 2035, SWKI BTI 102-01, ÖNORM
H5195-1, DIN EN 12828
Official standards emphasise the importance of fill and top-up
water quality in heating systems. Treated water for technical
purposes must comply with the technical standards set out by
manufacturers, engineers and trade associations in terms of its
chemical and physical properties.
