FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Roberto Carneiro "The water in our pool in the Alentejo has a high iron content. When using the most common chlorine products, the water turned brown. We were recommended bromine-based products - which are even more expensive - which only helped the problem slightly.
ECO-
At the time, "Hidrion" was being installed in certain pools, before going on general sale (more thanFRIENDLY 16 years ago) and we were able to try it out. I'll just say that we have never stopped
using it! The water became crystal clear and better for our eyes, hair and the children's skin.
CONVENIE The cost of maintaining the pool is only a fraction of the price of (aggressive) chemical products, which, at the moment, is becoming more and more important..."

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Álvaro Barreto "I choose the HIDRION system around 6 years ago when I had to decide on a water treatment system for my pool. Over the years, I have been able to confirm all the advantages which were promised to me at the time: reduction in chemicals, crystal clear water. It is a convenient, reliable, safe and very economical solution. Also, as a Portuguese product, it means I can support Portuguese companies and products, which at the moment should be a priority for all of us!"
Álvaro Barreto – HIDRION customer since 2006 16
TESTEMUNHOS
Alejandro Pezzolo "Comenzamos a vender HIDRION a fines del año 2009. AL ser un producto nuevo en el pais y poco usado teniamos algun temor. Pronto nos dimos cuenta que la calidad del producto superaba los miedos. Buena terminacion y sencillez de uso. Ya este año comenzamos a vender los kit de repuestos lo que indica conformidad. . EL resultado es el esperado: piscinas brillantes con muy poco uso de cloro”. Un cordial saludo. Alejandro Pezzolo - Gerente Técnico AGUAS S.R.L. – Argentina – CLIENTE HIDRION DESDE 2009

FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Bo Arveby “In the summer when we were younger we used to pack our rucksacks with, tent, sleeping bags and food for a couple of weeks. Then off trailing in the Swedish mountains. Every evening we used to look for a nice spot close to a small lake. After a days walk it was nice to go swimming in the crystal clear but ice cold water. The water was so clear and pure. Today we experience the same feeling, except the coldness. The water in the piscina is crystal clear thanks to the Hidrion. No smell of chemicals it is just pure. Add us to the list of satisfied customers!�
