EOS Anti-scale Inline Filter
Protection for Your
Ionizer
The new and improved EOS filter helps prevent damaging buildup from mineral scale in areas with hardness 51 - 250ppm. The EOS is easy to install, with quick-connect fittings that attach right into the cold water line of your ionizer. Hard water can be both beneficial and problematic. The benefit is you usually get higher levels
of magnesium or calcium in your water. The
same minerals can be problematic because under certain circumstances it creates
scaling, or buildup, of in water ionizers, piping and other water appliances in
your home.
The formation of scale on a surface is caused by
crystallization of carbonate or sulfate ions, chiefly calcium or magnesium.
Scale forms because oppositely charged surfaces of the scaling mineral ions are
attracted to one another and "stick" or adhere together. This is particularly prevalent when the water
is in contact with a metal surface and there is a heat source or electrical
charge.
The AlkaViva EOS Filter contains NSF certified media that is
highly effective at inhibiting scale formation. The EOS changes the charge
distribution on the scaling mineral ions, therefore reducing the attraction which
reduces the scaling effect. It doesn't remove the calcium or magnesium, to your
benefit, but rather makes it almost impossible to attract and bind together.
The EOS Filter can also help remove existing hard water
deposits. As the surface charge is shifted ion by ion on existing scale, the
bonds formed through attraction are broken. The scale slowly loosens and washes
away. The formation of scale takes
months and sometime years to form. Similarly, this softening or cleaning effect
occurs over a proportionately long period of time. Therefore it is recommended
that the EOS filter be used on a clean system, when possible.
A convenient way to monitor the life of the EOS scale device
is using your Water Ionizers filter counter. It is optimal to install your EOS
inline filter with your new UltraWater or BioStone filter. When you replace the filters at the same time,
keeping track is easy. Alternately you can note the level on your filter
counter and replace the filter when it reaches the same level.
