INTRODUCTION
The LifeSource ScaleSolver provides protection from scale formation throughout the home. The ScaleSolver can be installed at the point of entry to treat your entire home, both hot and cold water, or it can
be located directly before a water heater or other device (e.g. sauna, etc) that requires protection from
hard water.
ScaleSolver reduces or eliminates scale formation on internal and external plumbing surfaces as well as
reducing spotting and streaking normally associated with hard water. ScaleSolver prevents scale by
transforming the normal dissolved hardness minerals into undissolved crystal micro-particles. These
crystals stay suspended in the water and have a greatly reduced ability to react and attach to surfaces
like dissolved hardness does. Therefore the problem of internal buildup of scale in pipes, water heaters
and on xtures and glass is greatly reduced.
ScaleSolver is not a water softener. Low or phosphate-free cleaning products are recommended to
achieve optimum results. Modern surfactant or detergent based, liquid soaps are preferred over oldfashioned caustic solid soaps.
Unlike softened water, ScaleSolver treated water maintains the benecial, essential mineral content of
your water and is safe to drink.
