When water flows between the impulse band’s primary treatment zone, the sticky structure of untreated water scale crystals are broken into smooth rod-shaped mono-crystals preventing the hard water minerals from bonding to surfaces. The more rod-shaped crystals there are the stronger the scale-prevention effects. Billions of microscopic rod-shaped descaling crystals behave like brushes, interacting with existing mineral deposits, loosening them and removing the scale with the water flow.

Rust particles become embed in mineral scale causing metal corrosion and pipe pitting that can eventually cause pipes to burst and unseen water leaks behind closed walls. Bacteria and other pathogens present in water use mineral scaling buildup as a food source and breeding environment (bio-film). When you remove hard water scale from water pipes, mechanical equipment, heating elements, appliances, etc. you will also be removing rust particles and the bacteria growing in the scale. This process is gentle and the clean out time frame will vary depending on the descaler model installed and the thickness of your existing limescale buildup.

Residential homes and commercial structures with PEX, PVC and other plastic water pipes are still not resistant to the corrosive effects of hard water because of the extensive path water takes to reach your faucet. Oxidation occurs in all metal pipes through contact with hard water. These oxides seriously affect the pipe surfaces and leads to hidden corrosion. Vulcan’s Impulse Technology generates an electrophoresis effect resulting in a (iron, zinc, copper) metal-carbonate shield on metal surfaces; protecting metal surfaces rom harmful substances which could lead to additional corrosionCommercial Water Softener.
