How does the ScaleSafe system prevent scale buildup and remove existing scale?
A. The ScaleSafe system prevents scale by acting as a scale inhibitor. It distorts the almost perfect cube like shape of the calcium molecule. This distortion prevents the formation of crystalline calcium carbonate by not allowing the calcium molecules to buildup on each other. To remove scale, ScaleSafe simply combines with the calcium in the precipitated calcium carbonate. This combining action does two things: 1.) ScaleSafe slowly breaks down the crystalline matrix of the calcium carbonate allowing it to be released into suspension. These minerals remain in suspension until they are removed by normal periodic maintenance procedures such as blowdown. 2.) ScaleSafe combines with calcium carbonate to form calcium phosphate which is deposited as a microfilm coating on all wetted surfaces.This coating acts as a deterrent to both scale and corrosion.
