Concerns with Current Scale Control Systems

The current scale control for commercial water systems is predominantly done through electro-magnetic processes. The electro-magnetic scale control is completed through the polarisation of ions in the water system, which then in turn inhibits scale formation. The concern with this current process is the fleeting effect on the scale formation inside the water system- which typically only lasts 24 hours. This has obvious effects on the water systems efficiency, such as increased maintenance requirements and harder potable water.

The largest issues caused by limescale in commercial water systems are:

1.????? Increased Energy Usage

2.????? Clogged Pipelines

3.????? Premature Mechanical Failure

4.????? More Difficult Legionella Prevention

5.????? Longer Cleaning Process

A more economical and efficient process is the new electrolytic scale control systems, which we have recently seen become more and more prominent in the commercial environment. This process creates softer water for a significantly increased period of time- from 21 to 28 days. A patented system currently available is the Aquabion Electrolytic Water Conditioner, which introduced zinc ions into the water system, this then modifies the calcite crystals into adhesion neutral aragonite- which is then simply discharged into the water.

Please do reach out if you have any questions behind the processes and science of the systems I have described, even if it’s out of personal curiosity- I would love to chat!
