Requirements For Installing
To ensure proper operation, the Scale Prep System should be the last form of water treatment equipment installed, with the exception of an RO unit or POU filter. It is recommended to use a carbon pre-filter for municipal applications, as it reduces the negative effects of high chlorine on the media and lowers levels of iron. Note that you must change your carbon filter regularly to maintain proper flow rates.
Avoid applying phosphates or any other anti-scalents before or after the Scale Prep System. These systems should also have an adequate freeboard and use a Spider Flexible Hub and Lateral for proper fluidization. Scale Prep Systems operate in UPFLOW mode only, with tank connections typically opposite from the standard downflow configuration. Lastly, ensure you use a flow restrictor sized correctly for the tank and water flow.
