OptiPure IsoNet Scale Reduction Filtration Systems

OptiPure IsoNet Scale Reduction Filtration Systems

Scale (Hardness)

Scale can diminish performance & shorten the life of the equipment.

There are two fundamental ways to deal with Scale (Hardness):

Remove problematic minerals through reverse osmosis to manage TDS, reduce hardness and achieve a favorable mineral balance

Or

Inhibit the potential of minerals to form scale

IsoNet® & ScaleX2®- Inhibitor Technologies from OptiPure

There are two types of scale inhibition used in OptiPure filtration—polyphosphate (IsoNet) adds media into the water, and template-assisted crystallization (ScaleX2) adds nothing to the water.

IsoNet (patented) adds inhibitor media into the water, which interferes with the ability of hardness minerals to crystallize and create scale. IsoNet was created to solve problems common with all types of polyphosphate scale inhibitor media.

Over time, polyphosphate media becomes sticky and will basically melt and clump together. This drastically reduces the media surface area and contact time, rendering it ineffective. IsoNet provides optimal contact time by trapping and isolating media throughout the filter core, even when sphere size is reduced over time.

Most scale inhibitor media are loosely loaded in the bottom of the cartridge where there is no contact with most of the water flowing through the cartridge. IsoNet ensures consistent dosing by trapping and holding scale inhibitor media within the water flow path of the OptiPure cartridge.

In many cases, a system’s capacity to protect equipment against scale is grossly overstated. System capacities are typically based on chlorine reduction testing — not scale inhibition.

IsoNet delivers up to five times the scale and corrosion inhibitor of competitive cartridges. That’s what it takes to deliver real world, measurable results for six months between filter change-outs.

A few foodservice applications for IsoNet include ice machines, coffee brewers, and flash steam generated ovens. Isonet also contains an inhibitor that helps guard against corrosion.
