May 18, 2015 – Scalewatcher North America has a range of environmentally
friendly units designed to combat the effects of hard water limescale without
the use of chemicals or salt.
The system is easy to install and requires no plumbing,
maintenance or chemicals, manufacturer Aqua Genesis said in a press release.
Using integrated circuitry, the Scalewatcher emits an
electronically applied force field, induced by a coil wrapped around the
outside of the pipe work, which keeps the minerals in suspension and thus
prevents limescale forming.
The unit can be attached to all types of pipework material,
regardless of size.
Orange County Fire Authority installed the computerized,
electronic water conditioner, Scalewatcher said in a press release.
The hardness of the water in much of the county is about 300
parts per million or about 18 grains per gallon, which causes limescale to
build up in pipelines and equipment.
Other equipment at the firehouses have also benefited. “The
dishwashers had been scaled up with white cloudy residue and now look like they
just came off the showroom floor. We also had scale build-up in our showerheads
and now they are all crystal clear with no issue with the holes being clogged
up,” OCFA facilities manager Steve Klein said in the release.
The systems start at $248 US and units are designed to treat
pipe sizes from one to 120 inches. Systems come with a full performance
guarantee and are shipped throughout North America.
