The Plocherkat (small and large models) and the Plocher reactor are devices designed to improve the quality of tap water. They act as a catalyst, modifying the molecular structure of water to restore some of its natural properties.
How do they work?
The Plocherkat or Plocher reactor does not filter water like a traditional filter. Instead, it acts on the structure of water at the molecular level. Thanks to a catalytic process, the water regains a more coherent and structured organization, similar to that of spring water.
The technical operation is often presented as a complex and mysterious process, involving concepts of quantum physics and bioenergy. However, here's a simplified explanation that should give you a better understanding of the general principle:
The principle of catalysis
At the heart of the device is a catalyst material, often kept secret by the manufacturer. This material has the property of interacting with water molecules in a very specific way. When water passes through the device, it comes into contact with this catalyst.
Water restructuring
The interaction between the catalyst and the water molecules causes the latter to reorganize. Water molecules, which were initially disordered, tend to order themselves into more coherent and stable structures, called clusters. This restructuring of water is often compared to the formation of ice crystals, but on a molecular scale.
The effects of restructuring
This new structure of water has several consequences:
The benefits of water treated by Plocherkat or the Plocher reactor:
* Improved taste: Treated water generally tastes better and fresher.
* Better hydration: As the clusters are smaller and more ordered, the water is more easily absorbed by the body's cells.
* Better solvency: Structured water is more efficient at dissolving and transporting substances.
* Limescale reduction: Limescale is less likely to cling to surfaces, protecting your appliances and pipes.
* Action on germs: It can help reduce the presence of certain germs in water, such as Escherichia coli and collibacilli.
* Increased vitality: Treated water is often described as more “alive” and beneficial to living organisms, including plants and animals.
The different Plocher water treatment models:
There are different Plocherkat models to suit different water volumes:
* Small model: Ideal for apartments or houses with low water consumption. It is capable of treating 300L per day.
* Large model: Designed for larger houses and apartments, or industrial, commercial and agricultural premises. It is capable of treating up to 1500L per day.
* Plocher Reactor: Designed for large farms and industrial or commercial premises using large quantities of water per day. It is used for consumption exceeding 1.5 m3 per day.
IMPORTANT: The PlocherKat (small and large models) is installed after the water meter and pressure reducer. It is recommended to purge the pipe after 2 weeks of use.
Electrical sources (electric meter, motor, electric cable, etc.) interfere with PlocherKat operation. In all cases, we recommend installing the anti-smog angle just before the PlocherKat.
The PlocherKat can be installed on any type of pipe (galvanized, stainless steel, copper, polyethylene, etc.). Do not install the PlocherKat on lead or if there are lead pipes or sleeves in the home.
Protect from splashing water. In the event of immersion, even momentary, the PlocherKat will be permanently disabled.
Fields of application:
Plocher devices can be used to treat water:
* mains water: to improve tap water quality.
* Livestock buildings: to improve animal health.
* Cisterns: To treat rainwater.
* Wells and boreholes: To improve spring water quality.
* Garden ponds: To improve aquarium water quality.
In a nutshell:
These are innovative devices that can significantly improve water quality, based on the idea that the catalyst contained in the device is capable of restructuring water molecules, giving them new properties. Although the exact mechanisms of this process are not fully elucidated, the effects observed on treated water are often attributed to this molecular restructuring...
If you're looking for a natural solution for healthier, more pleasant drinking water, these devices could be an excellent option.
