Ref.: Directive (EU) 2020/2184
For water distributed through internal water systems, designers, builders, maintainers and managers of the internal water network, depending on their specific powers and responsibilities, must help ensure that the parameter values of the water supplied by the drinking water management service, in compliance with the regulations at the point of delivery, are maintained up to the tap of the individual users while also ensuring that the water is conveyed with adequate flow rates and pressure levels, keeping the chemical, physical, microbiological and organoleptic characteristics substantially unchanged.
The combined installation of the two devices, Physico® and Physico® RACS totally and permanently counteracts and prevents the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as Legionella Pneumophila, Salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria from water systems, using a physical treatment that does not require any maintenance.
Different types of combinations allow the device to be applied in any systems.
This innovative device, the result of research and development with proprietary technology, offers advantages and benefits that were previously unattainable, allowing for broad health, energy, technical and environmental goals.

All buildings listed in Directive (EU) 2020/2184 require the implementation of the RAD (Legionella risk assessment document) and the hygiene self-check plan of the system, which is the responsibility of the GIDI (this new position is responsible for the oversight and management of water distribution in the building and they can be either the owner of the building or their delegate)
On request, the devices can be equipped with units for remote control in the cloud
For cold water
Mod. PH 200
For hot water
Mod. PH 350/3 RACS with by-pass

To ensure the functions described, it is mandatory to follow the advice of our technicians who will size, free of charge, the devices relating to the system under examination and will also provide your installer with the instructions for the correct installation as well as the essential maintenance operations to the system as required by the
“guidelines for the control and prevention of "legionellosis".
If the installer or the end customer does not follow our technicians’ instructions, the guarantee of functionality will fall exclusively under their responsibility.

For water safety in the internal distribution systems of priority and non-priority buildings and in certain ships pursuant to Directive (EU) 2020/2184
The combined and dimensioned use of the two devices Physico® and Physico® RACS does not exempt
from the hygienic self-check plans and mandatory periodic microbiological checks that guarantee
the proper conditions of the water system.
The anti-Legionella effectiveness has been tested by certified laboratories. Analyses and certificates of application compliance for the treatment of water intended for human consumption have been carried out at both certified university and research laboratories.
To achieve permanent sanitation, it is mandatory to follow the maintenance instructions of the water system as given in Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on the quality of water intended for human consumption.
