It is possible to avoid the deposit and formation of carbonates by separating the Calcium Bicarbonate (ionization).
The effect of this process through the MAIC technology is that a new crystal is formed up, the Aragonite, which stays in suspension in the water and is exhausted by the simple water flow.

The above chart demonstrates that water not treated with a suitable system forms up a crystal (calcite) that causes hard and resistant incrustation. The Aragonite is not only less hard and with less specific weight but it also has a more stable crystal shape of minor dimensions and with far less possibility to join with other molecules. In addition the Aragonite is much more soluble in water than calcite (average 70% more water soluble).

The evolution brought by MAIC technology can avoid the precipitation of the calcium (and magnesium) under the form of deposits without modifying the biological water structure and, therefore, without modifying the water hardness. So the quantity of salts in the water will remain unchanged but it will not be possible for them to precipitate under the form of limestone.

A sweet water (poor in salts) as the one obtained with the traditional treatment (i.e.: chemical, like the type with resins at ionic exchanged) can be corrosive and could favourite the passage of metal solutions, even those toxic ones like lead which is existing in the normal iron tubes. The traditional chemical apparatus produce several negative effects on the system, such as:
- Variation of the ph value, with the tendency to have more corrosive water 
- Toxicity
- Exhaust water pollution
- The heavy cost and time consumption for maintenance and recharging cost.

Maic 1, 3, 5, 6 and 8 for application on household appliances such as heaters, boilers, washers, coffee machines. And for taps, showers with articulated aerators.
Maic 2 and 4 for centralized applications; apartments, flats, buildings, etc.

The Italian law DM 443 issued by the Italian Ministry of Health regulates the installation and the use of the water treatment apparatus for human being usages and it gives very severe dispositions depending on the case of physical apparatus (like MAIC) or traditional chemical anti-scaling systems at polyphosphate salts or cationic resins.

- Water softener apparatus must have an automatic rechargeable device. This is not required for physical apparatus
- Water softener apparatus must be equipped with an auto-disinfection system during the rechargeable phase. This is not required for physical apparatus 
- Whenever the disinfection systems use different ways from the chlorine and its derivates, those ways must be approved by the Ministry of Health
- Water softeners require the installation of a counter, this is not required for physical apparatus 
- The installation of chemical apparatus must provide manual or automatic by-pass systems which ensure the non-return of water. This is not required for physical apparatus
- The installation of chemical water treatment apparatus for the drinking water must be notified to the local authority of the Ministry of Health; water analysis must be conducted and, based on the results the authority will give the authorization for its usability. The analysis has to be conducted every 6 months.

MAIC DOES NOT MODIFY THE WATER HARDNESS.
Moreover it is innocuous for health, does not contain additives, chemicals or harmful substances. MAIC in fact does not modify the the biological structure of the water and intervenes exclusively on Calcium Carbonate molecules. MAIC has obtained the approval certification for potable water treatment from the Ministry of Health. All MAIC products are furthermore in conformity with EEC directives
