SCALEWATCHER™ PERFORMANCE GUIDE
The SCALEWATCHER™ hard water conditioner system treats all incoming water as it
passes the coil and alters the scaling properties of the dissolved minerals so that it does
not adhere to surfaces and form hard scale.
Your SCALEWATCHER™ System will:
1. Prevent any further hard-scale buildup
2. Remove the existing scale that is inside your water system
3. Soften the existing hard scale around taps, basins, toilets, etc.
4. Reduce soap scum and improve the lather of soap
5. Make the water feel softer
6. Reduce the harsh effects of hard water on skin and clothes.
IMPORTANT NOTES

CLEAN AERATOR SCREENS

During the descaling period, some deposits may collect inside the nozzles
or aerator screens. Make sure to inspect those places regularly during the
initial three months until no more loose scale appears: unscrew, shake
loose scale, reinstall.

DRAIN YOUR WATER HEATER

It is recommended to drain the water heater for best results. Drain about 5 gallons (22
liters) of water from the water heater. Do this by connecting a hose to the valve at the
bottom and drain into a bucket. Perform this operation once a month for 90 days or until
water comes out clear.

OLDER BUILDINGS

In older buildings with existing scale, for some time after installation, the unit will be
descaling your water system. This often results in the water appearing to be harder and
loose scale particles appearing in places like showerheads and aerator screens. Once
interior descaling is complete, your water system will be scale-free and the
SCALEWATCHER™ will deliver the best results.
EVAPORATION EFFECT OF TREATED WATER
The calcium hardness previously in solution is now in SUSPENSION in form of a fine
invisible powder which flows to the drain. As water evaporates on dishes or sinks, some
white spots may become visible in a form of a fine and innocuous powder which will
easily wipe away leaving no marks or spotting.

WATER SOFTENERS

\Water Softeners often leave deposits inside a water system. Therefore, if a softener is
in use, you may want to allow the SCALEWATCHER™ System to remove the deposits
before the softener is switched off. In that case, it is strongly recommended to leave the
softener and the SCALEWATCHER™ System on, together during four to eight weeks
