REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS

The SCALEWATCHER™ System will gradually clean up scale deposits clogging the
Reverse Osmosis membrane resulting in longer lifetime and more efficient drinking
water production.

REPLACING A SALT BASED WATER SOFTENER

If you have replaced a salt water softener, you may notice the water becoming harder
as the scale begins dissolving. You may wonder, "What have I done here?" Do not
worry. This is a consequence of descaling, and the condition will improve daily as the
scale is removed. Your plumbing took years to get full of scale. However, it only takes a
short time to clean it up. This period may be brief for a newer home, or take several
months for older homes with low water usage. We recommend draining your water
heater regularly to shorten the descaling process. (The suspended hardness and
loosened scale tend to settle down at the bottom and should be removed by draining)
ESPRESSO MACHINES, ELECTRIC KETTLES AND OTHER APPLIANCES WHERE
WATER DOES NOT CIRCULATE
SCALEWATCHER™ treated water will show a significant improvement in the scale
condition of these appliances as compared with untreated water. However, if compared
with salt softened water the results will not be as good, yet, health experts strongly
discouraged to drink salt softened water for obvious health reasons.

DISHWASHER

If you use a dishwasher and had pre existing scale, you may notice increased spotting
or a white film. This situation will diminish when the descaling of pre existing deposits is
completed. If you experience this problem, you can easily solve it with the use of a great
product: Lemishine, found at your local Target or Wal-Mart, or from
www.lemishine.com . You will get sparkling glasses every time, guaranteed. Some
people recommend to use one tablespoon of Lemi Shine along with your regular
Dishwasher soap or with Cascade Complete (Granular) for picture perfect results.

BATHROOM FIXTURES

You should notice that spots on chrome or stainless fixtures, the toilet bowl, tub, and
glass shower stall come off easier with normal cleaning after the first several weeks of
use. Another benefit of the SCALEWATCHER™ system is that the naturally present
microorganisms causing black mold in the bath area will diminish and then disappear
completely.

SCALE IN TOILET BOWLS

To remove pre existent scale, use a pumice stone (found at any hardware store) to
easily remove white or rust (brown) scale. Work it with confidence; it will not scratch the
ceramic.

BACK SPLASHING STAINS

One common problem is existing scale buildup caused by back splashing on faucets
and tub/shower enclosures. Since there is not direct water flow across these surfaces,
