INTRODUCTION

The PVI AquaSolve Anti-Scale System provides pro-
tection from scale formation on internal plumbing 
surfaces. The AquaSolve system can be installed 
at the point of entry to a building to treat both hot 
and cold water, or it can be located directly before a 
water heater, boiler, or other water using device that 
requires protection from hard water.

AquaSolve prevents scale by transforming the normal 
dissolved hardness minerals into undissolved crys-
tal microparticles. These crystals stay suspended in 
the water and have a greatly reduced ability to react 
and attach to surfaces like dissolved hardness does. 
Therefore the problem of internal buildup of scale 
in pipes, water heaters and on fixtures and glass is 
greatly reduced.

AquaSolve is not a water softener or a chemical 
additive (like antiscalants or sequestrants). It is a 
scale prevention device with proven third party lab-
oratory test data and years of successful residential 
and commercial installation. AquaSolve is the one 
water treatment device that effectively provides scale 
protection and is a great saltfree alternative to water 
softening (ion exchange) or scale sequestering chem-
icals. Laundry and warewashing chemistry will like-
wise require adjustments.

AquaSolve Benefits

•  Chemical-free scale prevention and protection – 

converts hardness minerals to harmless, inactive 
microscopic crystals making AquaSolve an effec-
tive alternative technology to a water softener for 
the prevention of scale due to water hard-ness

•  Virtually maintenance free – no control valve
•  Uses environmentally friendly technology by 

using no salt or other chemicals to constantly 
add, no electricity and no wastewater

•  Improves efficiency of all water using appliances 

– both hot** and cold

•  Simple sizing and installation – all you need to 

know is pipe size and the peak flow rate

•  Safe for landscaping and lawn watering, no need 

for costly bypass plumbing.

•  Compatible with all on-site and community 

wastewater treatment systems

•  Perfect system for towns or communities where 

water softeners are banned or restricted

•  For high-flow applications, install multiple tanks 

in parallel

•  AquaSolve does not remove minerals or add 

sodium to the water supply

•  AquaSolve can be installed as pre-treatment to 

commercial reverse osmosis systems (contact 
your PVI representative for further details)

**For hot water applications where feed water  
temperature is 100° - 140°F (38° - 60°C), please  
contact PVI Technical Support at 1-800-433-5654.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of 
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the 
system.

WARNING

Systems are certified through WQA against NSF/

ANSI Standard 372 for Lead Free compliance.
