Say Goodbye to Hard Water Headaches

Say Goodbye to Hard Water Headaches

Say Goodbye to Hard Water Headaches

Hard water is an issue that many homeowners face across the country and can cause significant damage to your home appliances, fixtures, and plumbing system. Today, we will discuss the benefits of using an electronic descaling system to combat hard water, and how this ecofriendly water softener alternative will improve the overall quality of your home’s water supply.

Hard water contains high amounts of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. This causes the water to create scaly buildup on your appliances, reduces your water pressure, and can damage your plumbing system over time. Hard water is a common issue throughout many areas of the country and can be very frustrating for homeowners.

If you are a homeowner who is tired of dealing with the negative effects of hard water, an electronic water descaler could be the perfect solution for you. The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system safely and effectively addresses the minerals that cause hard water. It is a reliable and proven limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming.

The ScaleBlaster hard water descaler is installed on the incoming waterline of your home. It works by emitting an oscillating electronic field using a unique and complex modulating frequency wave form that changes the physical shape, size and charge of the calcium molecules (the cause of hard water and limescale formation). This process changes the composition of the minerals in the water, causing them to break down and dissolve. As a result, the minerals will no longer cause scale buildup on your appliances and your plumbing system won’t be at risk for hard water damage. Best of all, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is safe, effective, inexpensive, and easy to install.

If you are ready to say goodbye to hard water headaches, look no further. The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is an ecofriendly water softener alternative that you can buy and install today. Residential models of the ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system can be purchased in-store at Home Depot and online at Lowes and Home Depot. We invite you to give it a try. We promise you will not be disappointed!

Removing Hard Water Stains on Your Sinks and Bathtubs

Removing Hard Water Stains on Your Sinks and Bathtubs

Removing Hard Water Stains on Your Sinks and Bathtubs

The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is a limescale eliminator and hard water descaler that addresses existing pipe scale and prevents new scale from forming. However, if you have hard water stains in your sinks and bathtubs prior to installing an electronic water descaler, you will need to address those. Once hard water stains are removed, a hard water descaler will prevent new stains from forming.

Let’s explore some ways to remove hard water stains from your bathtub.

Method 1: Vinegar and Baking Soda

One way to remove hard water stains from your bathtub is to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. You will need to mix equal parts of each ingredient in a bowl and then apply the mixture to the affected area with a sponge or cloth. You should let the mixture sit on the stains for at least 15 minutes before scrubbing with a brush or sponge. Once you have scrubbed the area, you can rinse it off with clean water.

Method 2: Lemons

Another effective way to remove hard water stains from your bathtub is to use lemons. You will need to cut a lemon in half and then rub it over the affected area. You should let the lemon juice sit on the stains for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it off with clean water. If necessary, you can also use a brush or sponge to scrub the area before rinsing it off.

Method 3: Commercial Cleaners

There are many commercial cleaners that are designed specifically for removing hard water stains from bathtubs and other surfaces. You can find these cleaners at most hardware and home improvement stores. Be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner carefully, as some may require you to leave them on for an extended period of time before rinsing.

Once you install the ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system, it will go to work on your water pipes immediately, as it is a limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming. This ecofriendly water softener alternative will also help prevent future hard water stains on your bathtubs and sinks. ScaleBlaster also has commercial/industrial hard water descaling models.

Addressing Hard Water Stains on Your Bathtubs and Sinks

If you’ve ever noticed unsightly brown or white spots on your bathtubs and/or sinks, then you’ve probably got hard water stains. Although they may not be harmful, these stains are ugly and difficult to remove. The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is a hard water descaler that works as a limescale eliminator while preventing new scale from forming. While an electronic water descaler can be used to prevent future hard water stains, you will still need to address existing stains. Our next series of articles will discuss hard water stains and how to get rid of them.

Hard Water Stains: What Are They and Why Do They Form?

Hard water contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can cause staining on surfaces like bathtubs and sinks. Hard water stains are usually white or gray in color and can be difficult to remove.

There are a few reasons why hard water causes stains. First, the minerals in hard water can build up on surfaces over time. This buildup can create a barrier that prevents soap and other cleaners from working effectively. Second, the high mineral content of hard water can actually etch into some surfaces, causing permanent damage. Minerals in hard water can sometimes even react with cleaning products to create new stains.

If you already have hard water stains in your tubs and sinks, there are a few things you can do to prevent them from getting worse:

  • Avoid using harsh cleaners or scrubbing pads that could scratch the surface of your tub.
  • Wipe up any spills as soon as possible so they don’t have a chance to set in and stain the surface.
  • Make sure you rinse off your tub after each use so that soap residue doesn’t have a chance to build up and cause more staining.

Our next article will cover various ways to remove hard water stains from your bathtub.

Water Softeners: The Hidden Hazards

Water Softeners: The Hidden Hazards

Water Softeners: The Hidden Hazards

More and more homeowners are seeking an ecofriendly water softener alternative to combat their hard water problems. This shift comes as people recognize the benefits of an electronic descaling system, which is an effective limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming.

We are continuing our series of articles covering some of the hidden health hazards of water softeners. Our previous article discussed how water softeners are not heart healthy and can also be inefficient, especially when compared to a hard water descaler. Today, we will explore more hidden hazards of water softeners.

Bacterial Growth

Another potential health risk associated with water softeners is bacterial growth in the brine tank. The brine tank is where salt is stored for use in the ion exchange process. If it is not properly maintained, bacteria can grow in the high-concentration salt solution and contaminate your drinking water when the unit regenerates (cleans itself). An electronic descaling system does not have a brine tank and does not require ongoing maintenance.

Can Be Harmful to Aquatic Life

Salt-based water softening systems are the most common type of system, and they work by exchanging sodium ions for hardness minerals in the water. While this is an effective way to soften water, it can also have a negative impact on the environment. The sodium that is added to the water can eventually end up in rivers and lakes, where it can be harmful to aquatic life. In addition, salt-based systems require a lot of energy to operate, which can contribute to climate change. A hard water descaler such as ScaleBlaster is an ecofriendly water softener alternative that is not harmful to either humans or wildlife.

If you have hard water issues, then a hard water descaler is hands down the most effective, cost-friendly, and efficient ecofriendly water softener alternative to consider. Not only is an electronic descaling system a limescale eliminator, but it prevents new scale from forming.  Homeowner models of the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler are available in-store at Home Depot and online at Home Depot and Lowe’s.

If you manage a commercial or industrial operation, we have commercial/industrial hard water descaling models available as well. Contact the commercial / industrial ScaleBlaster dealer nearest to you or e-mail sales@scaleblaster.com today!

Hidden Health Hazards of Water Softeners

Hidden Health Hazards of Water Softeners

Hidden Health Hazards of Water Softeners

When searching for a solution for hard water issues, many homeowners assume that water softeners provide their only option to combat their problems. Many are unaware that there is an ecofriendly water softener alternative that is an effective limescale eliminator which also prevents new scale from forming. An electronic water descaler is safe and, unlike water softeners, does not pose any health risks to your family or pets. Our next series of articles will cover some of the hidden health hazards of water softeners.

We begin by noting that water softeners work by exchanging the magnesium and calcium ions in hard water for sodium ions. This process is known as ion exchange. As a result, water softener systems can increase the sodium content of your water, which in itself comes with some hidden hazards.

Not Heart Healthy

If you are on a low-sodium diet or have certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, this can be a concern. People on a low-sodium diet must limit their sodium intake. One cup of softened water can contain up half of the recommended intake. An electronic descaling system, on the otherhand, does not add sodium to your water.

Inefficient Softening

Ion exchange via a water softener is not 100% effective. Some magnesium and calcium ions will remain in the softened water. Additionally, the exchange resin beads in the softener tank can become fouled with iron and other minerals over time, reducing their efficiency. As a result, you may still experience some hard water problems even after installing a water softener system. An electronic water descaler is an efficient, ecofriendly water softener alternative that does not use any chemicals or resin and requires no ongoing maintenance.

Our next article will cover more hidden hazards of water softeners.

If you are seeking an effective, healthy, and affordable ecofriendly water softener alternative, look no further. ScaleBlaster is a hard water descaler that does not add chemicals to your water supply and is easy to install. Best of all, this electronic water descaler is an extremely effective limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming. Homeowners can purchase residential models in-store at Home Depot and online at Home Depot and Lowe’s.

Reducing Risks Associated with Cooling Tower Biocide

Reducing Risks Associated with Cooling Tower Biocide

Reducing Risks Associated with Cooling Tower Biocide

The first step to reducing the risks associated with cooling tower biocide is to understand what biocides are and how they work. Biocides are chemicals that are used to kill or control living organisms. While biocides are effective at killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, they can be harmful to humans if they are not used properly. When using a cooling tower biocide, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to avoid potential health hazards.

Here are some known risks involving various types of chemicals associated with cooling tower biocide:

Chlorine-Based Disinfectants

Skin irritation, respiratory distress, and chemical burns

Chlorine dioxide

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested

Hydrogen Peroxide

Skin irritation and stomach upset if ingested

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate

Stomach upset if ingested in large quantities

Silver Nitrate

Skin irritation and stomach upset if ingested in large quantities

Glutaraldehyde

Skin irritation, respiratory distress, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting

The dangers of cooling tower biocide is real and should not be ignored. One way to reduce the risks associated with cooling tower biocide is to implement an industrial hard water descaler into your system. An electronic water descaler is easy to install and once installed, water scale removal begins. Not only does an electronic water descaler prevent new scale from forming, but it also reduces the corrosive properties of the water, which, in turn, controls bacteria and algae. Best of all, an industrial hard water descaler reduces maintenance costs and helps preserve the integrity of cooling tower equipment.

Cooling Tower Limescale Removal Options

Cooling Tower Limescale Removal Options

Cooling Tower Limescale Removal Options

Cooling tower limescale removal can be quite a challenge. Limescale causes a plethora of problems, wreaking havoc on the entire cooling tower system. Today, we will explore two of the most popular cooling tower limescale removal options to consider.

Cooling Tower Biocide

Biocides are chemical substances used to kill or control living organisms. They are effective on limescale, bacteria, algae, and corrosion. Many are harmful to humans if inhaled, spilled, or if they come in contact with the eyes or skin. They can also slowly degrade pumps and other vital equipment, causing the need to replace them more frequently. Cooling tower biocide can either be oxidizing or non-oxidizing. Oxidizing cooling tower biocide kills microorganisms; non-oxidizing prevents growth.

Electronic Descaling System

An electronic descaling system is an effective method of industrial hard water descaling because not only is it effective at water scale removal, but it also prevents new scale from forming. Additionally, an electronic descaling system controls algae and bacteria by reducing the corrosive properties of the water. This type of industrial hard water descaling system utilizes no chemicals, reduces maintenance costs, preserves the life of equipment, and is environmentally safe.

ScaleBlaster is a renowned electronic descaling system used by industrial facilities throughout the world. If you want an effective cooling tower limescale remover, then ScaleBlaster is definitely the product to consider. It is affordable and a game-changer when it comes to helping your plant operate more efficiently while reducing overall maintenance costs.
