Point of Entry Water Conditioners Protect Your Plumbing Fixtures & Water-Using Appliances from Scale

Scale build-up can wreak havoc on your home’s plumbing system and the efficiency and life expectancy of your water-using appliances. We offer two options for solving scale problems:

• Traditional Water Softeners
• FLOW-TECH Home Anti-Scale Systems

Water softeners are not water filters and do not remove many of the impurities that are of common concern for water quality. For more information on water filters, click here.

How the Flow-Tech Home Anti-Scale System Works

Unlike traditional water softeners that remove calcium and magnesium ions from your water by exchanging those ions with a potassium or sodium ion, FLOW-TECH induces a low frequency signal that is pulsed several thousand times per second and propagates that signal throughout your entire plumbing system. This electromagnetic signal reverses the charge on the minerals that are dissolved in the water. The charge reversal allows the minerals to stay in suspension instead of falling out of suspension when they are heated (like in a water heater) or when pressure increases. Minerals in suspension pass harmlessly through the system and ultimately flow down the drain.

Because the minerals are not removed during this process the “hardness” of the water is not affected, but the harmful effects of that hardness are tremendously reduced. Because the minerals are still present in the water, you may have some spots on dishes when the water evaporates. This can be cared for through the use of jet-dry or household vinegar works just as well. The great news is that the system is maintenance-free and extremely eco-friendly as no backflush is required wasting water and there is no discharge of salt into the sewer system.

How Traditional Water Softeners Work

Traditional water softeners remove calcium and magnesium ions from your water by exchanging those ions with a potassium or sodium ion. Removal of these minerals eliminates the possibility of scale build-up. Systems are maintained by adding salt or potassium periodically to the brine tank attached to your softener tank. It is worth noting that in some areas water softeners are being banned due to the challenges caused in trying to treat the water after it leaves your home.
