Developing this product was to find a true replacement for the conventional sodium based water softeners, ion-exchange resins or other chemicals, those are either partially functional or functions at the cost of the environment & health. Increased sodium content in water or decreased pH factor (making water acidic) directly influence the health problems, environmental damage and damage to the systems those are vulnerable to chemical corrosion due to sodium.
Nucleation Assisted Crystallization (NAC)
“SP (Scale Prevention) 3” indicates a unique transformation of water hardness Ca(HCO3)2 into (3) components:
CaCO3 (micro-crystals) Aragonite CO2 (colloid) H2O (pure water)
Phase 1: Filtersorb SP3 double ceramic beads accelerates the transformation of the calcium and magnesium minerals out of the water solution into harmless nano sized aragonite crystal particles. Aragonite exists as tiny, crystals that do not cling to surfaces. SP3 is a layered double coated (LDC) catalytic agent that ensures that the Calcite morphs into aragonite crystals and is currently the only media available that causes this transformation.
Phase 2: As the minerals flow through the piping systems and equipment, the aragonite crystals dissolve additional calcium removing any pre-existing calcium deposits.
Phase 3: After the old calcium deposit are removed, Filtersorb SP3 form a smooth 3 – 5 micro thick corrosion prevention layer on existing pipes, o-rings, gaskets, and equipment.
No TDS change: No elements of the water are removed. There is no ion-exchange chemistry used thus the TDS of the water remains unchanged before and after the treatment.
No pH change: pH of the water remains same. Making the treated water suitable for almost any use where corrosion is concerned.
* * IMPORTANT **
If new metal (copper, brass, etc.) piping or fittings are used BEFORE Filtersorb media, there MUST BE a 60 day bypass period for the metal to passivate (cure). pH must be above 7.0.
Failure to do so will significantly shorten the life of the media.
This will be evident by the media color changing from white to blue or green.
* * Pressure needs to be under 80 PSI to ensure the media has enough contact time and does not clog at the top of the filter * *
