Scaltrol Scale Control - Hi Pressure Equipment Ltd.

                 

Scaltrol’s water scale solutions were designed to control mineral scale from water sources that cause corrosion and  decrease the efficiency of your appliances and plumbing.

Without a preventative scale control solution, your appliances  eventually become clogged with scale buildup – sometimes past the point  of fixing.

Since most water sources are saturated with large amounts of  minerals, including calcium carbonate (lime scale), calcium sulfate,  iron, and manganese, the Scaltrol units are installed at the water supply.

The concentration of minerals depends on your environment, based on  rock formation, pH level, oxygen content, and temperature.

Any increase  or decrease in temperature can cause minerals to precipitate (i.e., form  scale).

To counteract mineral build-up, Scaltrol scale control units dispense  a measured amount of polyphosphate which deposits a microscopic film to  all surfaces.

The mineral molecules, which have a positive charge, are then  attracted to – and held in suspension by – the negative charge of the  polyphosphate, which acts as a sequestrant. Since the mineral molecules  are no longer able to bind together, scale cannot form.
