COPPER PIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Follow the same instructions in 

steps 1-6

 for PVC, CPVC and PEX pipe. 

Use Chart B for Copper

2.) Instead of a single coil wrapping around the pipe, a second one is added for copper pipe.

3.) YOU MUST KEEP THE SECOND WRAPPING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE FIRST!  Wrap 

right over the top of the first layer continuing in the same wrapping direction as the first layer – 
clockwise or counterclockwise.  This second layer must also be tight and touching the prior wrap.  

(Figure C)

4.) Wrap a third cable tie around the pipe and both wires.  

Pull the cable tie tight.  (

Figure D)

 

5.) Follow same instructions in 

steps 7-8 

for PVC, CPVC and PEX pipe.

ACTIVATING THE SYSTEM

1.) Plug control box into electrical outlet after mounting the control box on the wall and wrapping the 

signal coil.

2.) The LED light on the front panel should light up.

3.) Operation of the 

ScaleBlaster

 SB-175 system can be confirmed by observing the illumination of the 

LED indicator located on the face of the power unit. Power on - green light on far right side will stay 
lit 

(Figure E)

. When pipe is wrapped and unit is turned on the far right light will stay lit and the other 

lights will oscillate back and forth 

(Figure F)

The best feature of the 

ScaleBlaster

 SB-175 is that there is NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. No salt,
