Over 10,000 hotels and restaurants trust GRANDER

From Michelin-starred kitchens to family-run hotels

Hoteliers work with water every single day — which is why they notice a difference before anyone else. A few establishments that have relied on water revitalization for years, each with a short film:

Science

Two studies, two short films

The research, summed up in two minutes each

Not in the mood for technical papers? We understand. These two explainer films show you the key findings — short, clear and completely free of formulas. Both studies were carried out by independent research teams, peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals. That is how a claim gets tested in science.

Less limescale thanks to DOLLOPs

The study "Strong Gradients in Weak Magnetic Fields Induce DOLLOP Formation in Tap Water" by the Applied Water Physics research group at Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology, shows that the treatment causes tiny limescale nanoparticles — so-called DOLLOPs — to form in the water. The limescale crystallizes while still in the water and is simply rinsed out, instead of settling on pipes and appliances. Demonstrated with three independent measurement methods.

A stable "immune system" in the water

This study examined the natural microbial communities in drinking water: the beneficial natural microflora is strengthened, leaving unwanted bacteria less room to establish themselves. Carried out by scientists from six European universities and published in the journal Environmental Research.

Good to know

Sceptical? Good. You should be.

Three honest answers to three fair questions

A lot is claimed about GRANDER water, from all sides. We believe healthy scepticism is exactly the right attitude. So we will not beat about the bush — we will answer the three questions almost everyone asks. Then you decide for yourself.

"Is this scientifically sound, or hocus-pocus?"

The most important question — and we won't dodge it. Yes, water revitalization is controversial, and you will find criticism online too. We know that, and we take it seriously. Our answer isn't claims but research: together with Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology, two studies were produced that independent peer-reviewed journals examined and published. In 2016, three independent measurement methods showed that treated water differs measurably from untreated water. In 2022, a team from six European universities demonstrated that the natural microbiology in treated water remains more stable. We don't promise miracles — we show what was measured. And we warmly invite you to read the studies yourself.

"Is my drinking water even still safe with this?"

The short answer: yes. The water revitalizer works by purely physical means — no chemicals, no additives, no filters. What comes out of the tap is still the same tested tap water, meeting the same strict drinking water standards that apply right across the United Kingdom. But safe doesn't mean ineffective. On the contrary — inside the device something very precise is going on:

  1. The housing. A stainless-steel cylinder fitted directly into the mains supply. All the water flows through it — no detours and no pressure loss.
  2. The water core. Inside sits hermetically sealed GRANDER water with a particularly stable internal structure. It never touches your drinking water.
  3. The transfer. In combination with a weak magnetic field, the water core passes its stable structure on to the water flowing past. This is exactly where revitalization takes place — with the measurable effects from the studies above.
  4. The result. Revitalized water throughout the property. Without electricity, without maintenance — one device serves a building for a good 20 years or more.

"Will my guests actually notice a difference?"

Yes — a great many guests notice it and mention it unprompted. Tap water that tastes softer and fresher, as if straight from the spring. A pleasant feeling on skin and hair after showering. Mild, gentle pool water. And in the kitchen, coffee, tea and dishes are made with revitalized water, and you can taste it. Over 10,000 hotels and restaurants worldwide work with it, many of them for decades — businesses that would not keep doing so if their guests noticed no difference. In the end, your own impression is what counts: try it yourself. Your own glass of water is the most honest test.

Good for your guests. And good for your bottom line.

Revitalized water is more than a feel-good factor. It works with you every day — in the kitchen, in the plant room, in the pool and in your operating costs.

What does GRANDER bring to your business?

Six reasons that pay off day after day

Your guests taste and feel the difference. But revitalized water also works where no one is looking: in the dishwashing area, in the boiler room, in the spa. Hoteliers and restaurateurs tell us this again and again:

Less detergent, fewer cleaning products

Revitalized water dissolves detergents more readily. Consumption of detergents and cleaning agents drops noticeably — good for your budget, your waste water and the environment.

Less cleaning work

Less limescale and dirt build-up means fewer cleaning hours — in the bathrooms, in the kitchen and everywhere water leaves its daily traces.

Protection for your equipment and appliances

Dishwasher, combi steamer, boiler, pipes: less limescale and corrosion means a longer service life, less maintenance and fewer unplanned repairs.

Savings in pool & spa

In the pool and spa you save water, energy and chemicals, and cleaning gets easier. And the bathing water feels velvety soft.

Sustainability on tap

Revitalized tap water freshly poured instead of single-use bottles: less plastic, less transport, less storage space. And the water you serve becomes something guests talk about.

A place that stands out

GRANDER water is a real unique selling point: an image boost, stronger guest loyalty and a talking point your guests share back home.

A win-win-win situation: for your guests, for your business and for nature. We would be glad to work out with you what that means in practice.

The best-kept secret in the boiler room: the GRANDER circulation revitalizer

Saving energy where no guest ever looks

Rust, limescale and sludge turn heating water brown and sluggish: pipes and underfloor heating slowly clog up, heat exchangers lose performance, energy consumption rises year after year. The GRANDER circulation revitalizer gives the heating water back its self-cleaning power. Within a few months the water runs clear again and the system works noticeably more efficiently.

  • Save energy from the very first hour. Clean heating water transfers heat better: higher efficiency, lower consumption, optimized operating parameters.
  • Less maintenance, more operational reliability. Less corrosion and fewer deposits mean fewer repairs and a better-protected heating system.
  • Cosy warmth for your guests. Users report a more comfortable room temperature and say they have been able to lower the heating temperature — every degree saves around 6% energy.
  • No electricity, no chemicals, maintenance-free. The circulation revitalizer is simply fitted into the return line, and your GRANDER specialist sizes it to match your system.

The brand

So who's behind it all?

Water revitalization from Tyrol, since 1979

Not an anonymous corporation, but a second-generation Tyrolean family. GRANDER comes from Jochberg near Kitzbühel, right by its own Stephanie spring in the Kupferplatte copper mine. There, the researcher and inventor Johann Grander developed water revitalization over 45 years ago: a physical process intended to return tap water to its natural, finely structured state — the way it once came from the spring.

  • No chemicals, no electricity, no additives. Nothing is added to the water and nothing is taken away. It is still the same safe, tested drinking water — simply revitalized.
  • Installed once, for the life of the building. The water revitalizer sits in the mains supply. All the water in the property flows through it: quietly, maintenance-free, for decades.
  • Noticeable in everyday life. Many guests report a spring-fresh taste, a soft feeling on skin and hair, and pleasantly mild pool water.
  • Scientifically studied. Two peer-reviewed studies (2016 and 2022) show measurable effects — more on that above in the Science section.

And what's in it for your guests?

  • Tap water people enjoy drinking: freshly poured instead of from a bottle
  • Soft water for showering and bathing: skin and hair feel it
  • The kitchen and bar run on revitalized water, from the coffee to the bread
  • And a hotelier who makes no compromises about water
Johann Grander Sr. (1930–2012)The discoverer of water revitalization. A researcher and inventor from Jochberg, he laid the foundation for everything GRANDER is today. "Water has intelligence."
Hansi GranderManaging Director. Continues the company in his father's tradition, including the Kupferplatte copper mine. "It is a great honour and a great responsibility for me."
