Scale preventer - Ionic accelerator
Enormous sums are spent every year on solving problems caused by the scale forming in pipes and appliances in which hard water circulates.
Below is a list of just some of the effects of scale:
- reduced water flow;
- increased pressure in the pipes (causing damage upstream of the appliance);
- deterioration of the pipes, inefficiency and the risk of bursting;
- the need for chemical treatment to restore operating conditions, which damages the pipes themselves;
- clogged filters and reduced rate of flow;
- scale formation on the heating elements in household appliances (boilers, dishwashers and washing machines) leading to increased power consumption and reduced efficiency;
- reduced efficiency of heat exchangers (central heating systems). Reduced efficiency of cooling devices (evaporation towers and refrigerator condensers);
- reduced efficiency of wall-mounted hot water boilers, both the storage and the instant heating type.
HOW DOES SCALE FORM?
Calcium and magnesium ions (hard salts) are dissolved in water in various quantities. When the water is heated, the salts precipitate as crystals and bind together to form the notorious SCALE which, if left undisturbed, attaches to the walls of the pipes and appliances in which water circulates, and causes considerable damage and inconvenience, which involves a waste of time... and money.
HERE'S HOW THE SCALE IS DESTROYED BY THE MAGNETIC SCALE PREVENTER
The water is forced through a powerful magnetic field* that causes a molecular disassociation of the hard salts (calcium and magnesium ions), which are converted into a soft precipitate similar to talcum powder, called "Aragonite", that remains in suspension and prevents scale formation permanently.
* The magnetic effect is generated not using electricity, but rather permanent magnets that can withstand high temperatures and hard water.
SCALE PREVENTER - IONIC ACCELERATOR - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Choose the ELCLA scale preventer according to the water flow rate and also to the diameter of the pipes ( e.g. pipe diameter 1" = scale preventer thread diameter 1" M/M)
- The scale preventer has such a new conception, that there is a very low flow decay.
- In case of application in hydraulic non-recuperation circuit, as for domestic use, it's more appropriate to apply a scale preventer capable of treating all the useable water.
- In case of application in a closed circuit (e.g. cooling towers), it is suggested to apply the scale preventer after the re-circulation pump. It is also possible to apply a scale preventer with a flow rate lower than the piping flow rate (by-pass installations).
- The by-pass installation is advisable especially in industrial plants. This kind of installation, if necessary, permits to operate on the scale preventer only, avoiding any interruption of the water flow.
- Especially in case of application on existing fixtures, which are running for a long time, it could be possible that a "cleaning" action occures. This cleaning action puts in circulation some particles, that must be removed by appropriate filters or by emptying the fixture till the complete evacuation has happened (this kind of problem is more evident in closed circuit fixtures).
No running or maintenance costs after installation of our hard water descaler (as in the case of the water softeners depending on an ion-exchange resin or filters).
