“1001 Vies Habitat manages more than 31,000 collective housing units in the parisian region and has equipped more than 38 buildings with Aquaphys’ solution against scaling and corrosion, mainly in the context of boiler renovation.

These residences had many problems due to limestone and corrosion, both on cold and hot water: various malfunctions. Users complained about the lack of comfort and availability of equipment.

Our maintenance budget was significant depending on the treatment in place: salt, water, cartridge, filter, etc.

Aquaphys’ team has been providing us with its expertise in water treatment without chemicals for several years, specifically for limestone, corrosion, and fouling issues. The company carries out a technical upstream study and defines the solution dedicated to each site. Finally, we have jointly designed a protocol for monitoring installations. The solution implemented consists of a module on the Domestic Cold Water and a module on the Sanitary Hot Water Loop. We now have 7 years of hindsight on these solutions. The conclusions are positive:

• Thermal exchanges and pressure readings are in line with our expectations.

• Users are satisfied with the comfort.

• Chemical descaling, film-forming agents, and softeners are no longer necessary.

• The material investments we have made are sustainable.

The maintenance budget is considerably reduced and this partnership is fully satisfactory. In view of the results obtained, we recommend this solution for future renovation and construction operations and for upgrading the sanitary and heating networks of 1001 Vies Habitat’s heritage in IDF – Parisian region. Today, around forty sites are equipped.”
