Low Maintenance
Ohio Pure Water Scale Prevention System features Filtersorb SP3 filter media, to first remove (Descaling Effect), the already existing scale from pipes and heat exchanger surfaces, and further to protect the system from future formation of scale (Scale Protection Effect).
Filtersorb SP3 is based on a completely different technology. In this process the chemical structure of scale forming, Hard Water minerals, is changed. This technology is so effective that it requires a contact time of only seconds.
Our Units are designed as Up Flow systems, so only a simple in-out head is needed. The media transforms the dissolved Calcium Carbonate (Temporary Hardness), into non-charged, neutral chemical bonds. These Neutrally Charged Bonds, are completely stable and will not attach to any surface.
The size of the bonds are extremely small, (Nano-Meter in size, which is one billionth of a meter), that they can only be seen with a powerful microscope. These particles are easily rinsed away, with a flow of water.
Therefore, the effect is the same as if the water was free of temporary hardness (calcium carbonate), the same as Soft Water, but without the slick or slimy feeling!
These Chemical Bonds are also heat resistant. Tests with commercial coffee machines showed that those with Filtersorb-SP3 Hardness Stabilizer protection were much cleaner after a short time of use than the control systems which were cleaned every month.
Water filtered through FilterSorb SP3 media, also offers protection when used in front of RO membranes, as it helps keep the membranes from clogging with Calcium Carbonate.
FilterSorb SP3 media works as a catalyst only, and is not a filtration media. Therefore, there is no accumulation of anything inside the media tank. The constituted ingredients of the FilterSorb SP3 media, are listed in CR21, as an approved food ingredient.
