Calcite buildup in 8" pipes - anyone know if electronic scale treatment works?
Calcite buildup in 8" pipes - anyone know if electronic scale treatment works?
(OP)
We are looking at this type of unit (https://www.aquagenesisusa.com/commercial/industri...) for electronic treatment of effluent water from one of our processes.
The 8" piping gets about a 1/2" of hard calcite buildup within a week. Anyone have any comment on the electronic treatment or another recommendation?
We are also looking into water softeners and water PH neutralizers but those are expensive setup and yearly costs.
Thanks
See attached pic of buildup.

That way you can choose where in your system you prevent it from forming, and where you allow it to form and come out of your water (in a place that it does not cause damage).
Yes this will be an ongoing operations cost, but the gain in efficiency and reductions in maintenance will be significant.
