Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2778297A1] The method for slowing down the formation of debris in a water conveyer system (2) such as a well system, is claimed. The water conveyer system: comprises a water feed line (3); a water conveying pump (13); and a frequency generator (23) to produce frequencies between 100 kHz to 25 MHZ, where the frequencies are transmitted to an alternating current (AC) probe (31). The frequencies generated using the frequency generator are applied to the pump and/or the water feed line in a linear or logarithmic manner for few milliseconds to several minutes. An independent claim is included for a device for slowing down the formation of debris in water conveyer system.
