proper model
How can I test my water hardness level?
A simple calcium hardness water test will give the
Q & A
reading instantly. All pool stores will do this free of
charge.
I just installed ScaleBlaster and was
wondering when I can expect results?
To realize the full benefits of ScaleBlaster, please
allow up to a couple months. The descaling process
does not happen overnight. This is why we offer a full
90-day money-back guarantee. If you ever have any
questions on the installation, please do not hesitate to
contact our customer service department. You can
email us photos of the installation for analysis if you
have any questions. Depending on the

automatically. If
230VAC is desired,
replace plug. This
unit comes with a 5
foot power cord.
All types of PVC Pipe
Galvanized pipe:
If you have galvanized pipe (with magnetic characteristics) on the area you intend on wrapping the coil at, you
will need to replace a small section of the pipe with PVC or copper. Simply cut out about 12 inches of pipe and
replace it with the PVC or copper. This will be on the incoming line entering the house. You do not have to
worry about replacing the rest of the pipe in the house – only replace the galvanized pipe in the area of where the
signal cable will get wrapped. The descaling process will work at this point forward and the galvanized pipe will
get descaled downstream.
The SB-MAX Pro Series is designed for indoor or outdoor installation
There are two other main items to consider when sizing the proper ScaleBlaster model:
a. Water hardness level - The SB-MAX Pro Series

b. Size of house - The SB-MAX Pro Series
homes with pressure tanks. For homes over 5,000 sq. ft., an additional unit may be required. Contact your
dealer for more details
circumstances, you may notice more soap lather, a
softer feeling on your skin and hair, increased water
pressure and "hotter" water. This means your water
heater will be working much more efficiently now.
Will ScaleBlaster lower the water harness
level and the total dissolved solids (TDS) in
the water?
No, the water hardness level and TDS will remain the
same. ScaleBlaster is a water conditioner –not a water
softener. Water softeners remove calcium from the
water, ScaleBlaster does not. Calcium is good for our
metabolism, so why remove it?

Where does the scale go when it is
removed?
ScaleBlaster dissolves the scale - molecule by
molecule right back into the water – where it used to
be, so the process is gradual. In a worst case
scenario, your aerators may clog up a little in the
showerhead or faucets. Simply clean them out and it
should not be a reoccurring problem.
Will ScaleBlaster remove scale buildup in
the pipe that is already there?
Yes, over time it will. Depending on how much water
the household uses and how bad the scaling is, the
process takes about 3 months to fully descale the
pipes.
