This revolutionary product works without chemicals, salt or plumbing to help reduct scale buildup and prevent scale formation. The ClearWave-HD works on all types of pipe including cooper, PVC, galvanized and stainless steel. If iron is present in your water supply, we recommend the use of an iron filter prior to the ClearWave-HD.
The ClearWave is the most advanced hi-tech computerized anti-scale device available today. It operates by using a programmed 'chip' to constantly cycle through and induce over 200 different electro-magnetic low frequency wave pulses into the water. These wave pulses produce water with remarkable anti-scale properties, without adding salts or chemicals, at an operating cost for electricity of approximately $5.00 per year.
How it Works
Pure water contains nothing but H20. but water, as it comes out of the ground, is rich in a multitude of minerals. Minerals such as calcium and magnesium are the main components of hard water, and the cause of scale formation and other problems. There are three basic methods used to control the problem of hardness and specifically scale formation.
Chemical Additional
A second method used to control hard water scale is the addition of chemicals (such as phosphates) to water. These material chemically alter the scaling characteristics of the calcium or magnesium ions. this lowers the concentration of the minerals that cause scale and therefore inhibits scale formation.
Both of the above methods require the use of consumable materials to change the makeup of the water. For these devices to function properly, the homeowner must continuously replenish the salt or chemicals as well as perform periodic maintenance on the equipment. In addition to these inconveniences, the chemicals and salts discharge into the effluent water present problems downstream to the municipal water treatment facility and the enviroment. Many U.S. cities have been enactiing and /or evaluating enviromental legislation to limit or reduce the levels of chemicals or salts that result from these types of water treatment methods.
Electric Potential
A third method used to treat hard water problems associated with scale utilizes changes in electrical potential in the water to produce the affects of chemical addition. The electric potential applied changes the scaling characteristics of the calcium or magnesium without the removal of these ions or the addition of chemicals.
