We provide you with a description of the unique Russian technology that allows you to minimize the negative impacts of humans on the environment. In the water, such factors as the chemical absorption of oxygen, biological oxygen absorption, coloring, turbidity are greatly reduced and most importantly, the hazardous xenobiotics from the series of phenols and dioxins are eliminated. Improvement of air and water is achieved without the use of chemical, biological, radiation and medicines, the effect is achieved only by physical influence by means of electromagnetic fields of low frequency. In our work we do not use chlorine or ozone, no other chemicals. The equipment used has a certification according to Eurasian guidelines
