OptiPure ScaleX2 Scale Reduction Filtration Systems

OptiPure ScaleX2 Scale Reduction Filtration Systems

Scale (Hardness)

Scale can diminish performance & shorten the life of 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) that adds media into the water and template-assisted crystallization (ScaleX2) which adds nothing to the water.

ScaleX2® — The Revolutionary Nano-Crystal Technology for Eliminating Lime-Scale.

ScaleX2 protects from scale formation without chemicals or frequent maintenance. In some cases, ScaleX2 is a superior alternative to common scale prevention methods, including softening and polyphosphates. Unlike softening and polyphosphates, ScaleX2 does not add chemicals to the water and does not require frequent maintenance or replenishment.

ScaleX2 converts the scale-forming molecules into microscopic crystals. The formed crystals will not adhere to equipment surfaces and will not create scale (lime-scale) deposits.

Nano-Crystal Technology

As hardness minerals meet ScaleX2, nanocrystals of calcium carbonates form on the surface of the media. When the crystals are large enough, they break free and are carried away with the water flow.

Foodservice applications for ScaleX2 include coffee brewers, ovens with steam generators or boilers, tankless water heaters, tank-style water heaters, misting systems, and as pre-treatment for OptiPure reverse osmosis systems. The ScaleX2 inhibitor technology is effective on water supplies with a pH up to 8.5 where no iron or copper is present.
