Crystal Quest® Saltless Water Conditioner is a new technology that transforms the calcium (hardness) of the water into mechanically stable and heat-resistant calcite crystals (nanometer size) that no longer cause lime deposits. The calcium is simply rinsed away.
Calcium (hardness) creates scale in pipes, appliances, and other plumbing surfaces. This leads to higher heating and energy costs and expensive repairs to appliances. The scale can also be a source for bacteria to grow, which can be a health concern in drinking water applications. It also removes the already existing scale from pipes and heat exchanger surfaces (descaling effect) and further protects the system from the future formation of scale (scale protection effect).
The calcium crystals that are rinsed away by the water cannot attach to any surfaces but, due to the nanostructure of the crystals, they have a function similar to the Crystal Quest® Eagle® Anti-Scale Media. It binds additional calcium to itself and therefore breaks the grid binding structure of the calcium deposits. The result is that even after a short time large pieces of deposits are removed. This process continues until the surface is free from deposits.
After the old calcium deposits are removed, a 30- to 80-micron thick corrosion-preventing layer is formed. This layer forms because of the reaction of the nano surface of the crystals and the metallic surface of the pipes. This is comparable to the green layer of verdigris on a copper roof. As soon as the protective layer is formed it can no longer grow bigger, but it creates complete protection.
