AlkaViva EOS Anti-scale Inline Filter

Description

EOS Anti-scale Inline Filter 

 Protection for YourIonizer

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 levelsof magnesium or calcium in your water.  Thesame minerals can be problematic because under certain circumstances it createsscaling, or buildup, of in water ionizers, piping and other water appliances inyour home.

The formation of scale on a surface is caused bycrystallization of carbonate or sulfate ions, chiefly calcium or magnesium.Scale forms because oppositely charged surfaces of the scaling mineral ions areattracted to one another and “stick” or adhere together.  This is particularly prevalent when the wateris in contact with a metal surface and there is a heat source or electricalcharge.

The AlkaViva EOS Filter contains NSF certified media that ishighly effective at inhibiting scale formation. The EOS changes the chargedistribution on the scaling mineral ions, therefore reducing the attraction whichreduces the scaling effect. It doesn’t remove the calcium or magnesium, to yourbenefit, but rather makes it almost impossible to attract and bind together.

The EOS Filter can also help remove existing hard waterdeposits. As the surface charge is shifted ion by ion on existing scale, thebonds formed through attraction are broken. The scale slowly loosens and washesaway.  The formation of scale takesmonths and sometime years to form. Similarly, this softening or cleaning effectoccurs over a proportionately long period of time. Therefore it is recommendedthat the EOS filter be used on a clean system, when possible.

A convenient way to monitor the life of the EOS scale deviceis using your Water Ionizers filter counter. It is optimal to install your EOSinline 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 filtercounter and replace the filter when it reaches the same level.
