Use periodic antiscalant water treatment to extend the time between major filter cleaning

If you have relatively clean water already, or your filtration requirements are less stringent, build in an antiscalant treatment period between cleaning or replacement. This can lower costs by extending the overall life span of the filters, and lower amount of time spent cleaning the filters when the formal maintenance period comes up.

I recommend: BWA Water Additives supplies antiscalant for commercial building and heavy industry cooling systems, oilfield applications, industrial and institutional cleaning and water processes, mining and sugar processing. Accepta manufactures 20 different kinds of antiscalant for wastewater treatment.

Prevent buildup with a steady product flow from antiscalant suppliers

For systems that either must meet more stringent codes, such as drinking water, or must filter harder water to begin with, head off costly filtration system teardowns with a continuous treatment of antiscalant.

I recommend: Koch Membrane Systems manufactures pretreatment antiscalants developed to prevent, rather than remove, scaling. Nalco produces traceable antiscalants to monitor concentration levels. Adding a controller they provide, allows you to maintain a constant level of antiscalant in your system.

Upgrade your filtration structure with antiscalant water systems

If you have an older or less efficient water filtration system, contact an antiscalant chemical manufacturer for a complete system to ensure compatibility between the filters used to clean the water and the antiscalants used to clean the filters.

I recommend: Daico Water Management produces a variety of water filtration systems including reverse osmosis, mineral tank, carbon, ozone and electrodeionization. Operating since 1969, Mar Cor Purification manufactures high-purity water systems for life science, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and industrial applications. Request a catalog for more information.
