How it Works
Ecovortek treats water naturally
How It Started
The inspiration for Ecovortek technology was nurtured during the 1960s from Upper Atmosphere Research developed by the Blue Streak rocket program at Woomera, South Australia. Ecovortek's inventor, a young Andrew Shore, worked as a technician for Adelaide University developing pay loads for the rocket program. During this time of his career he developed an interest in the ionosphere's electrostatic charge and the effect that lightning has on rain and resultant effect on plants and animals.
Ecovortek Technology — How It Works
After many years in business Andrew turned his attention back to static-electricity in the late 1990s. It is well known in science that ‘electromagnetic induction’ is the product of a voltage across a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field. Andrew applied this principle to water. The resultant Ecovortek technology is patented.
Ecovortek units produce an electrostatic charge when water or other fluids pass through it. The charge ionises the water to produce a number of different results:
- reduces calcium scale
- improves taste
- improves water softness
- reduces anerobic bacteria
- reduces bad odour
- reduces 'chlorine' smell
- plants grow better
- animals prefer Ecovortek treated water
Measuring the electro-static voltage, 838 mV
