Providing Non-Chemical Control of Calcium Scale Buildup & Removal/Reduction of Existing Scale

Buildup: A cross section of 1 & 1/2" copper pipe with a scale build-up of over 1/2" in thickness |

| Calcium scale formation on the inside of pipes and water heaters, on sinks, tubs, shower doors and other water contact surfaces is a multi-million dollar problem for individuals and businesses. A thin, one eighth inch layer of scale is such an effective insulator that it reduces the efficiency of your water heater by 20%. This translates directly to increased energy cost to attain the desired water temperature. Scale also increases the cost of equipment maintenance and shortens equipment life. When these costs are added together, the price of calcium scale is staggering. |

Physical Water Conditioning - The Solution.
By controlling the build-up of calcium scale the SoPhTec C-250 technology maintains heat transfer efficiency, reduces maintenance, prolongs equipment life and saves you time and money without the use of chemicals and harsh cleansers.
Magnetic water conditioners ... are operating extensively throughout the world today with tremendous economic effect. Marked reduction in scale formation ... has been verified in practice and confirmed in laboratories.

How Physical Water Conditioning Works
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) molecules solidify instantly from their dissolved state when they come into contact with any "foreign" surface. They grow onto one another along the surface in every direction. Because of their tree-like shape (as viewed under a microscope) they are called "dendritic" crystals. (Fig.1) They constitute the beginning of the formation of lime scale.
Through Physical Conditioning, the bonds between the H20 molecules have been broken. Foreign particles entrapped by the water molecules become exposed to the open solution. Their surfaces become available as nucleation points for the nearby dissolved CaCO3 molecules. The calcium molecules cluster together to form a microscopic "solid" seed crystal around this nucleation point.
All dissolved CaCO3 molecules in the vicinity of the seed crystal eventually come into contact with the newly forming surface. They solidify there in radial and concentric patterns, finally forming a free floating disk-shaped crystal (Fig.2) that no longer has an affinity for other hard surfaces with which it comes into contact.
Lime scale deposit does not occur at the container walls any more. Further, the Physically conditioned water is capable of dissolving previously deposited scale.

INSTALLATIONS
General Purpose Application wher e specific control is desired at point of use. Use also in conjunction with the SoPhTec C-500 & I-1020 for special applications. Applications Include: Drink Dispensers, Dish Washers, Vending Machines, Ice Machines, Coffee Makers, Laundry Equipment, Water Coolers, Spray Systems, & Shower Heads. |
The basic technology has been used in heavy industry for years for control of scale, algae and corrosion. What's new is the use of high-technology ceramics in the magnets ... the magnetic field [changes] the water ... This is a physical change brought about directly, whereas, traditionally, changes have been caused by chemicals.

SoPhTec's Model C-250 Clamp-On
Physical Water/Fluid ConditionerIdeally suited for 95% of all known water conditions for the purpose of controlling the build-up of hard scale caused by the CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) which is dissolved in the water. In unconditioned water this scale leads to equipment deterioration, excessive energy consumption, the excessive use and waste of chemical cleansers, labor, and higher maintenance costs.
