nextScaleStop Residential Systems Brochure

High performance scale prevention, (softener-alternative) media.Introductionnext-ScaleStop is the embodiment of a new technology, Template As-sisted Crystallization (TAC). Atomic level Templates on the surface of small specially treated polymer spheres transform dissolved CaCO3 to a crystalline form. The crystals are relatively insoluble, effectively isolating the CaCO3 from the water chemistry and anything the water contacts.Features• Extremely efficient - 5 seconds contact time regardless of hard-ness level. Conventional Ion Exchange resin requires 90 seconds.• No salt or other chemical regenerants required.• No backwash waste. Can be used in areas where water softeners are banned. Protects the environment and reduces water usage.• Long lasting media-not consumed by the reactions.• No control valve or electricity required.• Media can be used in both conventional mineral tanks or POU cartridge form.• Media operates in upflow condition.Applicationsnext-ScaleStop has proven itself in a variety of applications as an alternative to ion exchange softening or other conventional water treatment methods. The maintenance-free characteristics make it especially suited for Foodservice and Commercial applications where equipment maintenance is often overlooked.Foodservice• Coffee & Tea Brewers • Espresso Machines• Boiler based Steamers • Proofer Ovens• Steam Tables • Mist Cooling SystemsCommercial/Industrial• Car Washes • Evaporative Cooling• Hotels • BoilersResidential• Water Heater • Laundry• Dishwasher • Bath and ShowerSoftTMSCALESTOPApplicationsEfficiency and EconomyIonExchange 1 ft3SoftTMSCALESTOPMedia Volume Required0.07 ft3Backwash Volume IonExchange 50SoftTMSCALESTOP 0(gal/ backwash/ft3)Regenerant Volume (per regeneration)IonExchange 7 #/ft3SoftTMSCALESTOP 0Service FrequencyIonExchange(monthly)SoftTMSCALESTOP None RequiredFrom residential to commercial to industrial, nextScaleStop delivers extraordinary performance and value.Copyright © 2005-2010, next filtration technologies, inc.
