THE PROBLEM: BASIC WATER SCALING

Water is the universal solvent. It dissolves everything it comes in contact with, whether it is as "hard" as iron or as "soft" as acid rain in the air. The water we use is saturated with many dissolved minerals. The amount of dissolved minerals depends on the water source and the water chemistry such as pH, oxygen content, temperature and pressure. When water is heated, its ability to hold calcium carbonate (scale) in solution is decreased. As temperature increases, calcium carbonate will begin to come out of solution and form hard water scale deposits. This causes harmful scale deposits in boilers, water heaters and other water fed equipment.

HOW CAN THIS BE SOLVED?

SCALESAFE HARD WATER TREATMENT

When introduced into the water, ScaleSafe works in three unique ways.

1) ScaleSafe acts as a scale inhibitor by distorting the almost perfect cube shape of calcium carbonate as it precipitates out of solution. By distorting the uniform shape, it will not allow the calcium carbonate to build up (deposit) on itself. It will also over time remove existing scale in the system. Furthermore, it increases the solubility of scale causing minerals. This helps keep them in solution as opposed to depositing as scale.

2) ScaleSafe sequesters iron and manganese preventing these minerals from forming oxides (rust) and precipitating out of solution, thus eliminating the red & black staining caused by iron & manganese.

3) ScaleSafe combines with the calcium carbonate in the water forming a protective film on the insides of pipes and water fed equipment which acts as a deterrent to corrosion and scale. This microfilm does not increase in thickness as it is continually washed off and replaced.
