Anti Scaling Water Systems Provide Cleaner Water

Scale can form on heating elements and the hardware and pipes of plumbing systems. Anti scaling water systems accelerate the magnesium and calcium minerals into particles that are harmless. Water enters the conditioner tank and is pulled through the agent transforming it into inactive crystal particles. These particles make their way through plumbing without attaching. This results in a 99 percent improvement in scale prevention. It prevents corrosion by adding a protective layer to the surface of the pipes and hardware and is maintenance free.

Compared to classic softeners that work on the basis of ion exchange, calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged with an equal amount of sodium ions, which adds sodium content. This raises environmental and health concerns and requires back washing. With this system you do not have the expense of buying salt and the particles generated are harmless to the environment.

Traditional softeners can be replaced with the anti scaling system. There will be no slippery feeling as is felt with softeners and there may be a slight salty taste and odor until the existing softener is completely removed. Pipes will be cleaned and calcium and scale build-up will not occur.

If the system becomes contaminated it can be treated with 2 to 3 ppm of chlorine for short periods to kill bacteria. The system will tolerate 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Celsius. It can withstand temperatures of 39 degrees F and should be kept from freezing. It works best in the range of 6 to 9 pH.

Minimally the life of the system is 3 to 5 years if recommended chemistry and sizing requirements are followed. Well water, if left untreated, can be a concern as it has a high level of interference ions. Municipal sources often meet requirements but high levels of chlorine, over 2 ppm, can interfere with the life of the system.

It is recommended a whole house carbon filter be installed prior to the anti scaling system if chlorine is present. Depending on the type and amount of scale build-up it can take from one to six weeks for de-scaling to take full effect. Due to high temperatures in a dishwasher, spotting can be seen on dishes due to descaling taking place. It is recommended that a cup of white vinegar be run through the wash cycle to remove the scaling. Also reduction of soap usage by as much as half and using eco-friendly detergents is advised.

The conversion of magnesium and calcium in existing pipes can be accomplished in as fast as two seconds. The reaction is immediate and particles are formed on the surface. It meets NSF 61 standards which is an independent test that effects health and is performed by Water Quality Assurance labs. Having too much chlorine will have a serious effect on the system so a carbon filter should be installed as part of the treatment system installation.

A major advantage of anti scaling water systems are that they require less servicing and maintenance. They require no salt or service calls to check for efficient operation. They require no electricity or valves, keeping costs at a minimum. As they require no salts or chemicals they discharge no brine. They do not require electricity and therefore keep energy costs low. There is no back washing required and therefore no wasted water. They use up to 50 to 70 percent less space than conventional softener systems and allow healthy minerals, magnesium and calcium to remain.

Iron Filters For Well Water Help Prevent Staining and Provide Clean Water For All Purposes

The major problem with iron in well water is that it may cause problems to plumbing fixtures. It becomes necessary to have iron filters for well water installed. The filters remove iron particles substantially from water thus ensuring better taste as well as prolonging life of fixtures.

The water may contain iron in form of iron particles i.e. ferric iron and ferrous or dissolved iron. Ferrous iron is also referred to as clear water iron as it comes out of the faucet clear but when kept standing turns red or brown. Generally clear water iron can be removed with water softeners while sediment filters or carbon filters are needed to remove ferric iron or red water iron. When you install filters for well water, consider factors like the hardness of water and amount and type of iron present in water. Manufacturers of filters like RainDance water systems, Brita, Aqua-pure, etc have variety of iron filters suitable for treatment of iron in municipal water as well as well water. The whole house iron filtration systems are often preferred to treat well water.

RainDance Water systems are popular for their high quality  filters for well water. They have the Iron Max and Iron Eater series which are highly effective in reducing the iron from water. Iron Max whole house well water iron filters are chemical and maintenance free. They are designed to remove iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, etc. As hydrogen sulfide is removed it also effectively removes the bad taste and odor. It uses a state of art high capacity filtration media. The self backwashing system automatically cleans the filter bed. It has an electronic control valve controlled by a timer that initiates backwash cycle and cleans the bed before next period of filtration. Their Iron Eater series filters over twice as much iron and four times as much water hardness as Iron Max. It requires salt or potassium pellets for backwashing. It can filter higher levels of ferric and ferrous iron, manganese and hard water.

The benefits of  filters for well water are many. It prevents staining on bathroom and kitchen fixtures which can really be unsightly if not removed on time. This in turn reduces other costs related to cleaning material for such staining. It also means a reduction in iron collection from washing machines, dishwashers etc. With removal of iron particulates and softening of water you can feel your clothes cleaner and fresher. If you have installed whole house systems or even if you have point of use iron filtration systems you can get cleaner and clearer water from every tap, even showers.

On your part you must ensure timely maintenance of such well water iron filters as per the instruction manual. For improved efficiency analyze the hardness of water and level of iron contamination in water and then choose the appropriate iron filters for well water for your household.
