Physical water treatment comes to Iberia.
Since April 2024, Drag'eau Ibérica has been the exclusive distributor of Drag'Eau technology in Spain, Andorra and Portugal.
Who we are
We transform limescale without salt or chemicals.
At Drag'eau Ibérica we bring to the peninsula the physical water-treatment technology of Drag'Eau, born in Alsace and present today in more than thirty countries. Our specialty is clear: removing limescale from drinking-water networks and protecting closed circuits from sludge, corrosion and bacteria, without a single gram of chemicals.
We don't just sell a device. We fit an installation that protects your pipework, lowers the energy your devices use and needs no salt, no consumables and no maintenance.
No salt, no chemicals, no consumables, no maintenance.
Exclusive distributor
Since April 2024
Spain
Andorra
Portugal
A single mandate for the three countries of the Iberian Peninsula.
The ambition
We didn't come just to sell devices.
We started this project with an aim beyond financial performance: to introduce into an already established market two products that are a genuine breakthrough in their fields. The EF-i Antical and the DS-i Antilodo don't improve on what was already there: they work differently.
The water treatment sector lives under ever-tighter restrictions on consumption and use, and they will not ease. That is why we give our distributors and installers the chance to fit lasting, environmentally friendly solutions, placed once and still working on their own years later.
Install and forget.
No salt to top up, no cartridges to change, no maintenance contract. Installation is the last thing anyone has to do.
- No consumables
- No replacement parts
- No maintenance
DRAG'EAU technology
More than a decade perfecting the same idea.
DRAG'EAU technology has been in continuous development for more than ten years. It was patented seven years ago and has been refined ever since: it is now in its eighth generation of devices.
Each generation comes out of what the previous one taught us in the field: inner geometry, machining, behaviour at different flow rates. We are not after the definitive device, but the next margin of improvement over everything else on the market.
Generations of devices
Eight generations. The same physics, tuned eight times over.
The mechanism
Three physical effects, no additives.
The device adds nothing to the water: it imposes a geometry on it. The principle comes from the work of the Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger on the natural movement of water, the eddy and the vortex that keep rivers alive.
Vortex
The inner geometry creates a vortex that multiplies the water's energy and its dissolving power.
Venturi
A narrowing accelerates the flow and makes the core of the device vibrate.
Waves
Low-frequency, high-intensity waves break limescale into a fine powder that no longer builds up.
Physics. Not chemistry.
The conviction
Limescale can be treated without anything going down the drain.
The historic technologies for treating hard water and sludge are highly polluting: they require salt, chemicals and costly consumables. And there is no recovery channel for that discharge, which almost always ends up down the drain. Physical treatment is the alternative to leave the systems of another era behind.
The method of another era
- Salt and chemicals in the water
- Costly, recurring consumables
- Discharge with no possible recycling
- Constant maintenance
The DRAGEAU method
- No salt
- No chemicals
- No consumables
- No maintenance
- No polluting discharge
No discharge. No consumables.
The engineering
A single piece. For a lifetime.
Drag'Eau moved from distributing to manufacturing and filed its own patent. Today every device is machined from solid 316L stainless steel, with no electronics and no parts to replace. What is installed once lasts the entire life of the installation.
Certifications and warranty
Five European bodies have audited them.
Drinking-water safety, hygiene and product quality, verified by independent official laboratories and bodies. The devices are also protected by patent and guaranteed for ten years.
We send you the official document you need for your project or tender.

The journey
From Alsace to the Iberian Peninsula.
The path that carried physical water treatment from an Alsatian laboratory to every corner of the peninsula.
The technology is born
In Alsace, where three borders meet, a method is developed to treat water by imitating its natural movement, without chemistry.
Patent and own manufacturing
Drag'Eau becomes a manufacturer and files its patent. A new range, made entirely of 316L stainless steel.
Iberian exclusivity
Drag'eau Ibérica becomes the exclusive distributor of the technology in Spain, Andorra and Portugal.
Eighth generation
Eight generations of devices and an Iberian network of certified distributors and installers.
The team
The people behind the project.
A team covering every function: management, technical, commercial, operations and finance, spread across Spain, Andorra and Portugal.
