HARD WATER SCALING

Water is the universal solvent. It dissolves everything it comes in contact with, whether it is as "hard" as iron or as "soft" as acid in the air (acid rain). Because of this, the water we use is usually saturated with many dissolved minerals. Mineral saturated water is water that has been in contact with minerals for a prolonged period of time, usually under pressure, and has dissolved as much minerals as it can hold in solution. The amount of dissolved minerals depends on the water source (ground, surface, or municipal supply) and the water chemistry such as pH, oxygen content, temperature, along with other factors. Any change made to the water chemistry will affect the water's ability to hold these minerals in solution.

When water is heated, its ability to hold calcium carbonate (limescale or hardness) in solution is decreased. This causes limescale deposits in hot water heaters and other water fed equipment. A pressure change, such as water through a faucet or spray head, will cause calcium carbonate to come out of solution and form hard water scale deposits. Water which hasbeen treated in municipal water systems is subject to the same conditions.

SCALE BUILD-UPSCALE BUILD-UP

Removing scale causing minerals is usually accomplished by water softening and reverse osmosis. This type of treatment however is not always cost effective since the up-front casts are high and the equipment must be correctly applied, installed, set up, and maintained. Sequestering (binding up) the dissolved scale causing minerals has proven to be an effective treatment.A sequestering agent (polyphosphate) is added to the water which binds with the scale causing minerals and keeps them in solution, thus preventing hard water scale.

HYDROBLEND™ will remove existing scale

HYDROBLEND™

HYDROBLEND™ WORKS IN THREE UNIQUEWAYS

1) It actsas a scale inhibitor by distorting the almost perfect cube shape of calcium carbonate as it precipitates out of solution. By distorting the uniform shape, it will not allow the calcium carbonate to build up (deposit) on itself. It will also over time remove existing scale in the system.

2) It is a sequestrant to iron and manganese in that it prevents these minerals from forming oxides (rust) and precipitating out of solution, thus eliminating the red & black staining caused by iron and manganese.

3) It combineswith the calciumcarbonate in thewater forming aprotective film ofcalcium phosphate onthe inside of pipes and water fed equipment which acts as a deterrent to corrosion and scale. This microfilm does not increase in thickness as it is continually washed off and replaced.
