Equipment Specifications
AquaSolve systems are complete, selfcontained,
loaded with media, and ready to use. A simple
inlet and outlet connection is all that is required for
installation. Please review operating pressures, tem-
peratures and water chemistry limitations to ensure
compatibility.
Feed Water Chemistry Requirements
Water known to have heavy loads of dirt and debris may require
pre-filtration prior to AquaSolve.
*Systems using AquaSolve technology are effective at controlling lime-
scale formation inside the plumbing system at influent hardness levels
up to 75 grains per gallon (1282 mg/l) of calcium carbonate. Due to
variances in water chemistry, 30 grains per gallon is a recommended
hardness maximum due to potential aesthetic issues related to soft
scale residue formation outside of the plumbing system. Testing should
be performed to determine proper application where hardness levels
exceed 30 grains per gallon.
**Just as with conventional water softening media, AquaSolve media
needs to be protected from excess levels of certain metals that can
easily coat the active surface, reducing its effectiveness over time.
Public water supplies rarely, if ever, present a problem, but if the water
supply is from a private well, confirm that the levels of
iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are less than 0.3 mg/L
and 0.05 mg/L, respectively.
***Pursuant to the EPA drinking water standards,
the copper concentration permitted is up to 1.3 ppm.
Typically originating from new copper plumbing, high
levels of copper can foul AquaSolve media. For appli-
cations with copper concentration greater than 1.3
ppm, please consult Lync Technical Service. To further
minimize any problem with excess copper, avoid
applying excessive flux on the inner surfaces of the
pipe and use a low-corrosivity water soluble flux listed
under the ASTM B813 standard.
****AquaSolve media does not reduce silica scaling.
While silica tends to have a less significant effect on
scale formation than other minerals, it can act as a
NOTICE
Systems using AquaSolve technology prevent hard water scale
formation inside the plumbing system at influent hardness levels
of 30 grains per gallon of calcium carbonate and less. Due to vari-
ances in water chemistry, certain aesthetic conditions external of
the plumbing system may not be attained. AquaSolve is designed
for the treatment of potable water that meets the requirements of
the current USEPA Safe Drinking Water Act.
