Can Water be Treated for Scale yet Retain Essential Minerals?
Good question! Recently there have been many concerns, based on research by the World Health Organization and others, over articles written on the potentially detrimental effects of drinking water which has been completely stripped of naturally occurring minerals.
We want every consumer to be as educated on this subject as they feel they need to be, and we therefore will make no effort to either convince or disparage the benefits of pH balanced water or mineral water. Everyone’s body has different needs, and the treatment of health issues should always be determined with the help and oversight of a qualified professional.
What we will do, however, is offer the most comprehensive education to the consumer on the innovative technology in the WaterCrest whole house physical water processing system which treats for scaling without removing minerals naturally occurring in the water. We WANT an educated consumer because we know that an educated consumer is our best customer and our best advocate.
The advanced technology in the WaterCrest which accomplishes this very objective is called “Scaleinhibitor.” The Scaleinhibitor media allows the essential naturally occurring minerals in the water to remain, and yet not bond (scaling) with hard surfaces or metals in you fixtures.
When calcium and magnesium ions come in contact with the ScaleInhibitor media, an ionic change takes place that neutralizes the ions in the water from their natural state to an inert state. As a result, the calcium and magnesium ions will not bind with the carbonate anions in the water. So there is no formation of scale. This technology will not remove the calcium and magnesium ions from the water, but instead changes their chemistry so that they can remain in the water but not negatively affect hard surfaces that they come in contact with, such as your plumbing, hot water heater, fixtures, dish washer, washing machine, shower, tub, or any other water using appliances. If the hardness is tested before and after the installed WaterCrest-10, the hardness level will be the same. Since the media inside of the ScaleInhibitor cartridge is insoluble in water, it does not add any unwanted chemicals into your working, bathing and drinking water.
The finished product is clean, clear, great tasting water at every tap in our home with all of the naturally occurring minerals left in for your benefit.
