Swiss-engineered water treatment — nationwide technical support across Pakistan
KalyxX uses two different physical mechanisms depending on where the unit sits. RedLine treats the whole property at the main line with TGP®. The 100 Mini protects one appliance at its angle valve with IPS100 plus mechanical filtration. They are not the same process and should not be read interchangeably.
Results depend on water conditions, hardness, flow rate, installation quality and the product selected.
RedLine · main line
The KalyxX RedLine body (stainless steel 1.4301) contains a structured electrode arrangement. As water passes across it, a galvanic effect changes how dissolved calcium and magnesium behave, so hardness minerals are more likely to stay suspended instead of bonding to pipe walls and heating surfaces.
The internal geometry forces the water into a turbulent path rather than a straight line. More contact with the active surfaces is what allows this physical treatment to work with no chemicals and no external energy supply. The manufacturer's confirmed limescale-formation reduction efficiency is 76%.
Fitted in-line on the main cold water inlet, one RedLine covers the pipework, valves, taps, shower heads and water-heating coils of appliances beyond it. Correct orientation, flow direction and pipe sizing are required, and installation should be carried out by a qualified plumber.
100 Mini · point of use
The KalyxX 100 Mini screws directly onto the angle valve serving one appliance: a washing machine, dishwasher, smart toilet, water heater or shower. Connection variants shown by the manufacturer are 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" female.
Before the water reaches the appliance, the cartridge filters mud and rust down to 75 μm — the grit that jams inlet valves and settles on heating elements.
A white tablet filtration medium works together with the electrodes to reduce calcium's ability to form deposits. The manufacturer states effective protection against limescale and impurities with 100% efficiency for this point-of-use device. Cartridge life is up to 12 months or 22,000 litres, whichever comes first.
IPS — Ion Polarization System — is designed for physical-galvanic treatment of flowing water. It can be used in households, public buildings and industrial applications depending on the KalyxX product selected.
The IPS device is a flow-through body with inlet and outlet connections. Inside the device are specially designed turbine-shaped electrodes made from two electrically conductive materials.
These internal elements are electrodes, not conventional magnets.
The patented electrode geometry generates turbulent water movement and galvanic activity as water passes through the device.
Hard-water minerals commonly form hard calcite deposits. These deposits can strongly attach to:
IPS technology is designed to influence calcium crystallisation toward softer aragonite-type structures. These deposits are less strongly attached and can be easier to remove.
Day 1–15
Existing hard calcite deposits begin gradually releasing.
Around Day 30
New softer deposits can be easier to wipe away.
This is a field example, not a guaranteed cleaning timeframe. Results depend on water chemistry, operating conditions and the selected KalyxX product.
Houston, Texas
Two similar 40-gallon gas water heaters were installed under comparable conditions and compared after approximately one year.
Without IPS
Approximately 1 litre of sediment was reported.
With IPS
No sediment was reported in the supplied test result.
Manufacturer comparison photographs
Two heating elements photographed under the manufacturer's supplied comparison. The photographs are not attributed to a specific market or test site.
Without IPS
Heating element operated without water treatment.
With IPS
Heating element operated with IPS treatment.
King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok
Testing period of 15 days. Two identical water tanks, two identical heating elements, the same water source and approximately 400 ppm hardness.
Without IPS
Untreated heating element.
With IPS
IPS-treated heating element.
Boiler comparison
Two boilers compared under the same operating conditions.
Without IPS
Boiler B — without IPS: heating element showing visible scale buildup.
With IPS
Boiler A — IPS installed: heating element showing significantly reduced scale formation.
WC cistern field example
The supplied field example shows old limescale releasing approximately two weeks after IPS installation.
Without IPS
Cistern components before IPS installation.
With IPS
Cistern components approximately two weeks after IPS installation.
IPS technology has been evaluated in different markets and water conditions. Actual performance depends on water chemistry, installation and the specific KalyxX product selected.
