Introducing the DIRO System
The DIRO filter system is a unique solution that makes it possible to wash and clean completely without chemicals. Using the DIRO FS product series, ultra-pure deionized water—known as DIRO water—is produced, ensuring that surfaces and textiles are cleaned thoroughly without detergents. This innovative system connects between incoming water and one or more washing machines and taps, processing tap water through several filtration stages until it becomes exceptionally clean and deionized, with a neutral pH 7. The DIRO system is a concrete example of how new technical solutions can contribute to a sustainable future… clean, chemical‐free washing and cleaning in a truly revolutionary way.
Primary Benefits and Key Facts
Key figures and facts that underscore the value of DIRO include:
- CLEANING – Chemical-free surface cleaning for fresh, safe premises with no harmful substances.
- WASHING – Chemical-free washing of materials that reduces CO2e by 1.02 kg per 5 kg of laundry and leaves no detergent residues.
- CLEANING AGENTS – The option to fill up DIRO water independently, backed by the “Good Environmental Choice” eco-label.
- LOGISTICS – Reduced transport, lower costs, and a healthier working environment for employees, all recognized with the “Good Environmental Choice” eco-label.
- RENTAL OPTION – DIRO FS60 available for a fixed price of 599:-/month (ex VAT) for 36 months.
Sustainable Local Cleaning
The system enables cleaning and washing completely without chemicals, making it ideal for preschools, nursing homes, offices, hotels, and industrial premises. With DIRO water, premises are not only clean but significantly reduce the burden on treatment plants, leading to cleaner seas, lakes, and waterways. This approach also minimizes waste by allowing the same spray bottle to be refilled repeatedly… a smart solution for today’s sustainable challenges.
How the DIRO Filter System Works
DIRO is ingeniously installed between existing cold water supplies and washing machines or taps. The water is processed through multiple filtration stages, resulting in an ultra-pure, deionized liquid free of lime and other minerals. When this clean water contacts textiles within a washing machine, dirt and grease are released from fabric fibers and carried away with the rinse water, leaving the textiles soft, clean, and free from chemical residues. Specialized programs developed in collaboration with Podab and Miele further optimize washing results, even though the system functions seamlessly with existing machines and programs.
Installation and Operation Benefits
The installation of DIRO is straightforward and can be integrated with both new and existing washing machines. The flexible filter system not only simplifies the cleaning process by eliminating the need for additional cleaning agents but also reduces service and waste management costs. A built-in buffer tank ensures that ultra-pure deionized water is stored until needed, providing consistent performance throughout the operation. This ease of use makes DIRO a smart choice for modern cleaning and washing routines.
