Thermal disinfection consumes enormous amounts of energy.
Disinfection chemicals strain budgets, the environment, and system technology.
Those responsible are constantly liable when it comes to legionella and germs.
VA-Hydro treats water without chemicals and without thermal disinfection, while ensuring stable hygiene conditions. The result is significantly lower operating costs, reduced risk, and greater transparency in system operation.
Instead of constantly “fighting” germs, VA-Hydro enables a controlled, safe system – efficient, sustainable, and economical.
Let’s review together what savings and safety potential VA-Hydro can offer your system:
All figures are example values and may vary depending on property size and initial conditions.
The chart shows typical monthly values from various properties: apartment buildings, hotels, nursing/care homes, and hospitals. The red bars represent previous hot-water-related operating costs, while the green bars indicate the monthly rental costs of VA-Hydro. Depending on the property, at least 70% of the previous costs can be saved.
Rent-to-own of VA-Hydro can be integrated into your ongoing operating costs in a budget-neutral way, converting fluctuating expenses into predictable fixed costs with measurable savings from the very first month.
VA-Hydro permanently reduces the costs of your water treatment, for example by eliminating energy-intensive thermal disinfection and significantly reducing the use of chemicals. In many cases, the investment pays for itself in a very short time. You replace high ongoing operating costs with a predictable, manageable investment.
Dispensing with aggressive chemicals does not mean compromising on safety. VA-Hydro uses a modern, patented hydrophysical process to reliably reduce germs and create stable hygiene conditions. Its effectiveness is proven through regular measurements and documented water quality data.
Not every good solution fails because of the technology – often it fails because of investment budgets. That’s why, in addition to the classic purchase option, we also offer rent-to-own and leasing models for VA-Hydro. This allows you to implement the system flexibly without overburdening your investment budget.
Instead of a high one-time payment, you integrate VA-Hydro into your ongoing operating budget with a manageable monthly rate. In practice, the costs are often only a few hundred CHF/euros per month and are frequently more than offset by the savings in energy, chemicals, and service costs.
Drinking water hygiene is a sensitive issue. VA-Hydro has been developed in line with applicable standards and legal requirements. Relevant test and measurement results are documented, enabling you to demonstrate at any time — toward authorities, inspectors, tenants, or residents — that your system is operated in compliance with regulations.
VA-Hydro is designed to relieve your staff rather than add to their workload in daily operations. Key processes run automatically, operating conditions are monitored, and data is clearly visualized. Your facility management team gains time for other tasks instead of being constantly occupied with disruptions or labor-intensive disinfection procedures.
Less energy, no aggressive disinfectants: VA-Hydro not only reduces your CO₂ footprint but also protects your technical systems. Corrosion and material stress on water-carrying pipelines are significantly reduced — resulting in greater durability and sustainability.
Legionella in hot water systems is a serious issue for property owners, facility managers, landlords, and hotel operators, as it can multiply rapidly—especially in older pipework
and as a result of energy-saving measures.
VA-Hydro has been proven to reduce bacterial colonies in hot water safely and energy-efficiently.

VA-Hydro is not a theoretical laboratory solution, but a proven technology in real-world operation. Numerous systems in care facilities, residential buildings, and public institutions have been running reliably for years. Through tested quality and documented results, we provide the level of security that technical managers and operators require today. If desired, we can start with a pilot installation delivering clearly measurable results.
In many projects, VA-Hydro pays for itself within just a few years. This is due to significantly lower ongoing costs: less energy, fewer chemicals, and reduced operational effort. Using concrete real-world examples, we show you the monthly savings operators achieve with VA-Hydro and the typical scale of the savings potential. This gives you a clear sense of how quickly the investment can pay off for your operation as well—without complex calculation models.
Yes. Drinking water hygiene is governed by clear legal requirements, and VA-Hydro is designed in strict accordance with them. System design, test results, and measurement data are fully documented, and all components used in VA-Hydro are approved for drinking water and comply with DVGW requirements in accordance with DVGW W 270.
On the contrary. VA-Hydro is designed to relieve your staff. The user interface is intuitive, and many functions run automatically. Your team receives practical training, and our service team is available to answer questions. If desired, we can also take over maintenance and functional checks at clearly defined intervals.
VA-Hydro is designed for high operational reliability. Continuous monitoring of operating parameters allows deviations to be detected at an early stage. For the unlikely event of a malfunction, clear fallback scenarios and defined service response times are in place. This ensures supply reliability and significantly reduces the risk of critical hygiene situations.
The results truly impressed us! Since the installation of VA-Hydro, legionella are no longer detectable. Knowing that our residents are now supplied permanently with hygienically safe, chemical-free water gives us a very good feeling.
(Residential care facility)
Our drinking water situation was so critical that a shutdown by the public health authority was even under consideration. With the installation of VA-Hydro, things finally turned around: within just a few weeks, the legionella were sustainably reduced. Today, we operate without thermal disinfection and without labor-intensive flushing. What remains is the confidence that we can now operate our facilities safely on a permanent basis.
(Special education school for people with disabilities)
After just a few weeks of operating the VA-Hydro system, the legionella contamination was successfully eliminated. No further measures to combat legionella were required thereafter. Since VA-Hydro has been in use, the need for thermal and chemical disinfection has been eliminated.
(Operator of an apartment building)
In the past, legionella prevention involved enormous energy, water, and personnel effort for us. Since installing the system several years ago, we have been operating reliably, chemical-free, and without thermal stress. Water quality is excellent, operational reliability is high, and we have noticeably saved energy and resources.
(Hotel operator)
The introduction of the VA-Hydro Complete systems has fundamentally changed our situation. Where previously high monthly costs were incurred through thermal disinfection and biocides, today reliable, continuous water treatment ensures safe hygiene—at significantly reduced operating costs. For us, this represents real progress in efficiency and safety.
(Correctional facility)
The system keeps our water permanently low in germs and effectively prevents recontamination. This ensures operational reliability, significantly reduces costs, and minimizes downtime in our facilities.
