TheÂHydropath signal inÂHydroFLOW water conditioners causes bacteria and algae to become charged, forming a layer of pure water around the cell which leads to osmotic pressure and eventual cell death.

Other bacteria/algae deactivation mechanisms:

Cell lysisÂis a process in which a cell isÂweakened and then destroyed as a result of some condition or external force.ÂResearchers believe theÂHydropath signalÂis responsible for this phenomenon.

Irreversible electroporationÂis anÂinnovative procedure that uses  probes to deliver localized electric current toÂcause cell death.ÂResearchers believe theÂHydropath signalÂcausesÂthis to occur in singleÂcell waterborne pathogens.

Additionally, theÂHydropathÂsignal disrupts bacteria and algae adhered to the inner surfaces of pipes, gradually releasing biofilm.Â
