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 old-fashioned caustic
solid soaps.
Unlike softened water, ScaleSolver™ treated water maintains the benecial, essential mineral content of your
water and is safe to drink.

Using ScaleSolver™ with other water treatment equipment.
Due to the unique properties of ScaleSolver™ , there are some unique requirements
for using ScaleSolver™ in conjunction with filtration or other forms of water
treatment.
1. ScaleSolver™ must be the last stage in the treatment chain. Do not install any
lters after ScaleSolver™ or before any devices for which scale prevention is
required. POU lters, e.g. carbon or RO are exempt from this requirement.
2. Do not apply phosphate or any other antiscalant either before or after
ScaleSolver™.
