ScaleNet Anti-Scale System
Connection Sizes: 1" (25mm)
Flow Rates: 5 gpm to 30 gpm (38 lpm to 144 lpm)
The ScaleNet Anti-Scale System provides protection from scale formation on internal plumbing surfaces. The ScaleNet system may 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 heating device that requires protection from the ill effects of hard
water.
ScaleNet prevents scale by transforming dissolved hardness minerals into harmless, inactive microscopic crystal particles. These crystals
stay suspended in the water and are passed to drain, thereby having a
greatly reduced ability to react negatively like dissolved hardness does.
The system requires very little maintenance, no backwashing, no salt, and
no electricity. Typical hardness problems, especially build-up of scale in
pipes, water heaters, boilers and on fixtures are no longer a concern.
ScaleNet is not a water softener or a chemical additive (like anti-scalants or sequestrants). It is a scale prevention device with proven third
party laboratory test data and years of successful residential and commercial applications. ScaleNet is the one water treatment device that
effectively provides scale protection and is a great alternative to water
softening (ion exchange) or scale sequestering chemicals.

Specifications
A ScaleNet scale prevention system shall be installed on the main
water service pipe just after it enters the building, but after other whole
building water safety devices (backflow preventers or pressure reducing valves), to effectively address water hardness concerns. A system
may also be installed further downstream to protect specific equipment
or areas within a plumbing system. The system shall be plumbed with
a bypass valve to allow isolation of tank(s) and to allow the bypass of
untreated water usage in the event that service or media replacement
be necessary. The installation area should be suitable in size for the
tank(s) to be serviced without encumbrance and sit upright on a flat
level surface.
The system must not require additional wastewater to backwash, flush,
or regenerate once put into service. The system shall not require any
chemical additives and shall not require electricity for operation. The
system must be certified to NSF/ANSI standard 372 for Lead Free
compliance and NSF/ANSI standard 61.

NOTICE
Copper lines need to be passivized for a minimum of 4
weeks before placing unit into service. Not for use on
closed loop systems.

Description

Systems using ScaleNet technology prevent hard water scale formation

inside the plumbing system at influent hardness levels of 75 grains per
gallon of calcium carbonate andless. Due to variances in water chemistry, certain aesthetic conditions external of the plumbing system may
not be attained. Scale is designed for the treatment of potable water that
meets the requirements of the current USEPA Safe Drinking Water Act.
The addition of soaps, chemicals, or cleaners, before or after ScaleNet
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.

NOTICE
Water known to have heavy loads of dirt and debris may require
pre-filtration prior to ScaleNet. Systems that may experience a
vacuum, or are installed above the first floor in a building, must be
protected with a properly sized vacuum breaker.

Standards
Independent scientific testing has confirmed Template Assisted
Crystallization (TAC) technology provides scale reduction of over 95+%.
Testing was conducted under protocol based on DVGW W512 test to
access control of scale formation.
Systems are certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI standard 372 for Lead Free
compliance. Systems and media are certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI
standard 61.
