XScale Catalytic Water Conditioners & Treatment Units

Ends "hard water" scaling problems...forever!  No supplies or maintenance needed!

 

Want an end to your "Hard Water" Problems?
Install an XScale catalytic unit on your water supply main or other water supply line to enjoy maintenance-free, scale-free water today. 

Our patented, one-of-a-kind XScale catalytic water treatment device is designed to both dissolve pre-existing calcium scale deposits, and prevent future deposits.  XScale therefore protects plumbing, appliances, and equipment from damaging hard water deposits...forever! 

The XScale product line is easily installed in-line on the water main of your commercial or home water supply, or on smaller water supply lines to protect icemakers, coffeemakers, mist cooling systems, etc.

It's fully self-contained and maintenance-free!

Never needs salt, supplies, filters, or electricity!

XScale units come in various sizes to meet the needs for our residential and commercial customers.
An XScale Selection Guide is available (see below).

THE PROBLEM...

RIGHT NOW, scale and corrosion are working to destroy the water-using equipment in your home or business every time you turn on a faucet. You must continually clean and eventually replace faucets, ice machines, shower heads, water heaters, and pipes that work inefficiently and corrode due to this lime scale buildup.

   Lime Scale Buildup in a Water Heater

RIGHT NOW, chemicals are polluting the water supply. As part of the "hard water cleaning process," phosphates and other harsh acids are being poured down the drain. As part of the "water softening process," tons of sodium chloride (salt) is added to our water, creating a hazard both to the environment and to human health.

THE SOLUTION...

Simply install a state-of-the-art XScale catalytic Water Conditioner and benefit from the following:

PREVENTS SCALE DEPOSITS:  XScale water conditioners suspend the calcium in water so it will not scale up or "stick" to your pipes and appliances. This extends the life and efficiency of hot water heaters, ice machines, dishwashers, shower heads, and other water-using equipment.

REMOVES EXISTING SCALE:  Existing scale deposits in your plumbing, water heater, and fixtures are softened and eventually removed by XScale. Heating systems again work at peak efficiency, saving fuel costs.

REQUIRES NO CHEMICALS... SAVES MONEY:  XScale eliminates the need for treatment chemicals, thereby extending the life of your equipment while saving you money. Choosing XScale will save the purchase price of the water softener (between $800 and $2500, based on a two-tank system), and also save ongoing costs of salt supply and maintenance .

SIMPLIFIES CLEANING:  XScale increases the efficiency of soaps and cleansers while decreasing the time required to scour off unsightly grit, lime spots, and calcium deposits from fixtures, tubs, shower doors, glasses, dishes, windows, and cars. Minerals in XScale-treated water are converted into a fine powder, which can be easily wiped off surfaces without the need for caustic "lime removers" and other harsh cleaning products.

PROMOTES PLANT GROWTH:  Farmers and specialty growers use catalytic conditioners in greenhouse, hydroponics, and field cultivation. Golf course groundskeepers use catalytic conditioners and misting fans to promote healthy greens and fairways. With repeated irrigation, calcium carbonate seals the ground, causing mineral buildup and hardening of the soil surface, which prevents adequate water penetration to plant roots.

XScale-treated water helps dissolve this mineral buildup in the root zone, thus allowing for proper irrigation and drainage, even when using mineral-laden reclaimed water. If included in misting systems, catalytic water conditioners also eliminate scaling of sprinkler heads and provide substantial savings on equipment replacement and maintenance. Likewise, the need to frequently "aerate" soils with spiked lawn equipment is reduced or eliminated.

FIGHTS WATER POLLUTION:  With XScale, you take part in the fight against water and soil pollution by decreasing the amount of salt, phosphates, and other chemicals introduced into lakes, streams and aquifers.

How Does XScale Work?
 

Step A: 

XScale extracts harmful dissolved lime from water via catalytic epitaxial crystallization. 

> XScale devices are in-line "catalytic water conditioners" because they accelerate the natural tendency of dissolved lime to crystallize, but do so before lime can deposit on pipes/surfaces further downstream.

The proprietary composition of the XScale core mimics that of calcium carbonate crystals, allowing the dissolved lime in hard water to form microscopic crystals of "activated lime" on the core surface via the process of "epitaxial nucleation."

 

Step B:

XScale returns lime to the water as stabilized crystals of "activated lime". 

> Once the microscopic crystals of activated lime grow large enough, they are freed from the XScale core surface by shear forces of water flow. This makes room for generation of new activated lime crystals.

These activated lime crystals are "stabilized," and will not cause pipe scaling or stubborn lime deposits on surfaces.

When XScale-treated water dries on surfaces, these crystals form a fine, dusty residue that is easily wiped off without cleansers.

Step C: 

XScale's "activated lime" crystals then remove pre-existing scale and prevent new scale formation. 

> Calcium carbonate in pre-existing scale will slowly "redistribute" itself from the low-surface area of pipe surfaces and plumbing to the high surface area of all the crystals in solution.

The trillions of microscopic crystals of activated lime provide an incredibly high total surface area for further epitaxial crystallization.

The net result is removal of pre-existing lime scale from plumbing, keeping pipes and appliances lime-free!

XScale Customer Praises

This letter is from one of Aquality's many satisfied residential customers:

 

"XScale was installed in our new home approximately one year ago. As a result, we have not experienced the buildup of lime deposits in the bathrooms or in the kitchen that normally would have accumulated by now."

 

"Before moving to Bulverde, we lived in San Antonio where there were constant problems with residue around bathroom and kitchen faucets, in the appliances, and hot water heater. Our coffee-maker had to be flushed out at least every two months, just to keep it running."

 

"I know that our well water here has an even higher content of calcium and other minerals than San Antonio's water, so we would have been plagued with more unsightly lime residue and corrosion were it not for the benefits of XScale. Our coffee-maker has not required flushing for an entire year! We feel confident that the outward results we are seeing are indicative of what is happening simultaneously in our plumbing, hot water heater, and cooling system."

 

"We are extremely pleased with XScale and will continue to recommend it to our friends and neighbors."

 

Sincerely,

 

R.F. Bulverde, TX

 

 

This letter is from one of Aquality's many satisfied commercial customers:

 

"Dear Mr. Davie, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for introducing your XScale water conditioner to the San Antonio Housing Authority."

 

"As you are aware that in May 1995, when you first introduced your product, we were experiencing heavy scale problems at two of our apartment complexes. The XScale water conditioner produced excellent results at Woodhill Apartments after only 30 days of use. We currently inspect our boilers equipped with the XScale water conditioner on a monthly basis and see that the majority of calcium and minerals in the water are turning to powder form and not adhering to the piping, thus saving us maintenance time. We also experienced excellent water flow and clean pipes, without the use of chemicals. Thanks for working with us to solve our hard water problems."

 

Sincerely,

 

Noe Rodriguez

HVAC Supervisor, San Antonio Housing Authority
