What is the life expectancy of the Descal-A-Matic Unit?

If the Units are serviced according to our written instructions, they will last literally forever. We have been in business since 1970 and we have clients with Units still functioning at full efficiency after 35 plus years.

What kind of power source is required?

No power source is required. The Units are self-powered by a permanent magnetic core.

What is the frequency of inspection and cleaning?

Once every 12 months after initial start-up.

Does it treat iron in the water?

Our treatment sequesters iron as Fe2O3 up to 0.5ppm.

Can I replace my conventional water softener or use as an alternative?

Yes

Will it replace reverse osmosis units?

YES, in the majority of cases. Depending on the specific application.

What is the payback period (ROI) as opposed to chemical water treatment?

Typical payback time is 12 months. After that there are NO further costs.

Does Descal-A-Matic conform to EPA and OSHA regulations?

Our clients never have issues with conforming to either EPA or OSHA regulations, because our treatment is a passive physical one based on the laws of physics. Nothing is added to the water and nothing is taken out of the water.

How close to the application does the unit need to be installed?

It depends on the application. We have Units in underground applications in coal mines for example that are 2 miles upstream from the application. However, the typical distance is within 10 feet of the application.

Can ionization be used in place of chlorine, bromine, ozone and other oxidents?

Yes

What is the maximum hardness of water that can be treated?

Our experiences during the past 46 years have been with water hardnesses up to a maximum of 800ppm.
