The AquaSolve Anti-Scale system performs best in single pass potable water applications with
no additional chemical additives. Depending on hardness, soft scale spotting may occur. Soft
scale spots in most cases can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth and will not form hard
scale deposits. A Point of Use (POU) Water Softener should be used on mandatory spot-free
applications (e.g. glass stemware, dishware).
CAUTION
Do not let the system freeze. Damage to the tank may result.
System must be operated in a vertical position. Do not lay it down during operation.
Place system on a smooth, level surface. Because system operates in an upflow, fluidized bed
mode, a level surface is more important than with a softener or media filter.
A bypass valve should be installed on every system to facilitate installation and service.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes when installing the system.
AquaSolve Anti-Scale must be the last stage in the treatment chain. Do not install any filters
after AquaSolve Anti-Scale or before any devices for which scale prevention is required. POU
filters, e.g. carbon, RO or Ultraviolet (UV) are exempt from this requirement.
Do not apply any other anti-scalants before or after AquaSolve Anti-Scale.
The addition of soaps, chemicals, or cleaners, before or after AquaSolve Anti-Scale treatment,
may reverse its anti-scale treatment effects and/or create water with a heavy residue or spotting
potential. Any adverse conditions caused by the addition of soaps, chemicals, or cleaners are
the sole responsibility of the end user.
AquaSolve Anti-Scale is not a water softener and does not soften the water. Water treatment
chemistry (e.g. antiscalants, sequestrants, soaps, chemicals or cleaners etc.) will most likely
have to be changed to be compatible with AquaSolve Anti-Scale treated water. Laundry and
ware-washing chemistry will likewise require adjustments.
13.4 Equipment Specifications
AquaSolve Anti-Scale systems are complete, self-contained, and come ready to use. Review
operating pressures, temperatures and water chemistry limitations to ensure compatibility.
NOTE:
Water with heavy dirt and debris may require filtration prior to AquaSolve Anti-Scale.
WARNING!
Due to the unique properties of AquaSolve Anti-Scale, there are some unique requirements
