Water properties
3
Electrical dipole Hydrogen bridge
Water, due to its properties, is very sensitive to electromagnetic fields
Water, at the base of the life, is the most current of the liquids but remains diverting and mysterious from its anomalies.

Aqua-4D® principle
4
Planet Horizons Technologies patented key know-how is the frequency and intensity combinations which can resolve specific problems.
Because of its dipole properties, water behaves like a magnet and can be influenced (electro-) magnetically.

What are biofilms ?
5
biofilm harbor harmful microorganisms
Complex matrix of bacteria, fungi, and algae bound together in a sticky gel of polysaccharide and other organic contaminants attached to a surface
Generally form on any wet surface and are consequently found in many types of environments, especially in livestock drinking water systems
www.planethorizons.com
Why biofilms are found ?
6
Especially in animal production drinking water systems
Organics particles coming from tape or wells water and nipples forms the biofilm.
Enclosed watering systems operate on low pressure, producing no turbulence that can breakup biofilms.
High water temperature. Nutrients supplied by glucose used with
medicines
Where are biofilms found ?

Consequences of biofilms presence?
7
This will affect the profitability of the integrator and the farmer
Poor feed conversion Lowered egg production, Increased mortality Negative impact on medication and
vaccines delivered through the water lines Clogging of nipple drinkers Large variation in production

Classical chemical approach to fight biofilms
8
Chlorine Chlorine Dioxide Hydrogen peroxide-based
Traditional disinfectants do not effectively penetrate the biofilm matrix
Traditional disinfectants
Most disinfectants are active against planktonic (unattached) microorganisms but are not effective against microorganisms in biofilm

Elimination and prevention of biofilm with Aqua-4D®
9
1. The existing biofilm is detached. The structure of the water at the interface of the biofilm is modified.
2. The biofilm will not attach any more thanks to the modification of the interactions forces at the interface.

Mineral scaling
10
Clogged plumbing and regulators Pressure loss Nipple drinkers sticking or leaking Scale has a rough surface that contains
pitting, cracks, and crevices which can harbor microorganisms
Hard water contains a large proportion of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and sometimes iron and manganese.
Over time, water containing these minerals will attach to plumbing and form scale.
What is scaling ? What are the consequences ?
Over time, this is a substantial cost when one considers the time and money of replacement of the water system.

Classical chemical approach to remove scale
11
The pH of the water must be reduced by adding an acid to dissolve the mineral scale
Cleaning process of pipes with acids between flocks

Benefits in the use of medicines
13
Dissolution of the medicine (Aviapen 0.5 g/l) with tap water not treated
Comparison with the dissolution of medicine with Aqua-4D® treated tap water
Diagnostic with a microscope Analysis of the shape and the distribution
of the minerals of dried drop of water samples
Medicine dissolution test

Results of the test «Dissolution Aviapen»
14
Regular fringe, regular fine distribution, tendency to coagulate massively reduced
Irregular border, irregular coarse distribution, tendency to coagulate

Aqua-4D® water treatment system
15
The Aqua-4D® technology works with any water chemistry and degree of hardness.
Effects are obtained with all pipe materials such as steel, copper, plastic …
The efficiency is observed over several kilometers of pipe from a single installation.
A pre-programmed Command module to generate the signals.
Special Tubes to transmit the signals to the aquatic environment. Depending on the maximum flow rate, a specific number of parallel Tubes is required.
Two basic modules: An almost unlimited use ....
