Status - Active (Proof of concept)
A structured, multi-site evaluation programme assessing the performance and operational benefits of Integro™ technology across premium health and leisure facilities.
“Supporting asset protection, energy efficiency, and member experience across high-demand leisure environments.”
Overview
The David Lloyd Clubs programme represents a structured proof-of-concept approach to validating Integro™ technology within high-usage leisure environments.
Selected clubs were identified based on:
- Documented hard-water issues
- High hot water demand across showers, pools, and domestic services
- Evidence of limescale impact on heat transfer equipment and outlets
- Clear opportunities for monitoring, verification, and comparison
Each site has undergone a detailed technical survey, with installation locations selected to ensure effective treatment coverage while minimising disruption to operations. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up inspections form a core part of the programme, enabling evidence-based assessment of outcomes.

Timeline & Project Details
Phase 1 – Site Surveys & Technical Assessment (2025)
Sidon Water carried out detailed site surveys at selected David Lloyd Clubs to assess:
- Existing cold and hot water system configurations
- Evidence of limescale accumulation and system imbalance
- Suitability for Integro™ installation
- Opportunities for measurable performance improvement
Each survey documented clear hard-water related challenges, including:
- Persistent showerhead scaling
- Scale build-up on calorifiers, plate heat exchangers, and pipework
- Reduced heat transfer efficiency
- Increased maintenance intervention
Installation locations were selected to target both incoming cold water and hot water recirculation loops, ensuring comprehensive protection of critical assets.
Phase 2 – Proof of Concept Installations (2025–2026)
Based on survey findings, Integro™ systems were proposed and approved for installation at selected sites as part of a structured proof of concept.
The PoC installations focus on:
- Protecting heat transfer equipment
- Reducing existing limescale deposits
- Preventing further scale formation
- Improving system reliability and hot water availability
- Reducing ongoing maintenance burden
Each site includes a defined monitoring and verification plan, incorporating photographic evidence, performance observations, and maintenance feedback over an initial 60–90 day review period.
Phase 3 – Monitoring, Validation & Review (Ongoing)
Post-installation monitoring includes:
- Visual inspection of treated pipework and fittings
- Assessment of showerhead condition and scaling rates
- Review of heat transfer performance and recovery times
- Feedback from site maintenance teams regarding callouts and intervention frequency
Findings from this phase will inform:
- Technical validation of Integro™ performance
- Site-to-site consistency of outcomes
Suitability for wider rollout across the David Lloyd estate
Phase 4 – Programme Expansion (Subject to Review)
Subject to successful proof-of-concept outcomes, the programme provides a clear pathway toward:
- Expansion to additional David Lloyd Clubs
- Standardisation of Integro™ deployment across typical site configurations
- Long-term asset protection and maintenance reduction strategy
This page will be updated as results are reviewed and the programme progresses.
