Commercial
Read also the FAQ under “For the home”.
For what kind of applications can I use the commercial series?
Some examples: Small hotels, restaurants, dentists, hair dressers, car washers, swimming pools, poultry farms (cooling pads), farming, golf courses. In short, where potable water is used.
Do the CM2 and CMN2 have the same output strength?
The CM series is for inside and the CMN2 series for outside use. This means that the coil of the CMN series can become wet which causes the induction in the water to become less. To overcome this we make for instance the CMN2 stronger than a CM2 for a 2" pipe.
Can I use a domestic unit for a commercial application?
Yes you can and you may have good results. However your Warranty and Performance Guarantee are void.
I want to dismantle my water softener as soon as I installed my
Scalewatcher.
Only dismantle your salt using water softener when you are fully satisfied about your purchase.
Is it a must to wrap the wire in the water flow direction?
No. Scalewatcher generates a magnetic and electric field changing direction all the time, the average values being zero. Therefore flow direction is not to be taken in consideration.
In my hotel of 500 rooms I want to stop using the water softener when the Scalewatcher is performing. Do you expect any unforeseen problems?
The kitchen may give problems, especially the dishwasher. When water evaporates from the glasswork it will leave White spots (the mineral crystals formed by the treatment). These are easy to clean. If you do not want to see the White spots so you can prevent additional hand cleaning, you will have to install a small water softener for the dishwasher. However before you install the additional small water softener check whether you get the White spots in the first place.
My experience is that when the water softener works too well, reducing the hardness to almost zero, we get heavy corrosion of our copper pipes. Do we have the same problem with Scalewatcher?
Certainly not. The treatment by Scalewatcher does not increase copper ions in the water as shown by research.
Industrial
What models are available for Industry?
For the smaller pipes up to 16" the following models are used: SE4, SE8, LE12 and LE16. For pipes with a diameter larger than 16" the following models are available: HIME24, HIME40, HIME80 and HIME120. In addition the following models are used where the TDS and hardness levels are moderate: IE2, IE4 and IE8.
Where can I apply the Industrial series?
Some examples: Large hotels, municipal swimming pools, paper factories, metal factories, food Industry, chemical factories.
Can I use a domestic or commercial unit for an Industrial application?
Yes you can and you may have some results. However your Warranty and Performance Guarantee are void.
In my hotel I want to use an Industrial Scalewatcher to protect my cooling tower and chiller. What can I expect?
You can expect that you will have less complaints from your guests about the air conditioning. Also you will save in water (at least 50 %) and energy. Not to forget that you will have less maintenance.
What's the task of a Scalewatcher unit in a chemical treated water system which is already treated and the process does not allow to stop this chemical treatment?
Chemicals do not work always for 100 %. The synergistic effect of che-micals and Scalewatcher may increase this percentage. An example is super steam water tube steam boilers. No way that chemicals or other water treatment systems can be stopped. Nevertheless scale problems can be present. In this case Scalewatcher should be installed in addition to the present treatment.
