The explanation of how it works is the same for domestic, commercial or Industrial applications and is briefly explained under “For the home”.

The main effect of the treatment is that crystal growth is promoted in the bulk of the water. The side effect of crystal growth out of Calcium and Bicarbonate ions is, that Carbon Dioxide bubbles are formed, being able to dissolve and soften old scale layers.

The flow rate will finish the job by sheer mechanical force. The treatment therefore needs flowing water to be effective.

Applications of this kind of water treatment where there is no flow, may need additional treatment by systems being able to remove mineral ions from the water. (Ion exchangers where Calcium ions are replaced by Sodium ions).

Examples are the dishwasher in restaurants or hospitals and humidifiers in museums or paper factories. Where water evaporates the crystals will collect on the surface as soft material which is easy to remove without the need of acid cleaning.
