High Performance Scale Prevention (Softener-alternative)

FEATURES

Extremely efficient – 5 second contact time regardless of hardness level. Conventional Ion Exchange resin requires 90 seconds. No salt or other chemical regenerants required. No backwash waste. Can be used in areas where water softeners are banned. Protects the environment and reduces water usage. Long lasting media-not consumed by the reaction. No control valves or electricity required. Media can be used in both conventional mineral tanks or POU cartridge form. Media operates in up flow condition. 

APPLICATIONS

Next-Scale Stop has proven itself in a variety of applications as an alternative to ion exchange softening or other conventional water treatment methods. The maintenance-free characteristics make it especially suited for foodservice and commercial applications where equipment maintenance is often overlooked.
