Scale???
The chemistry of "hard water" starts with the original water source. Groundwater seeps, percolates, and flows over mineral deposits containing limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. Precipitation of this chemical reaction from our water supply is the scale that we see in our kettles, shower heads, and in the water we ingest from an unfiltered tap. In the U.S. map below, the red and white areas identify trouble spots for calcium carbonate, one of two "hardness" indicators (the other is magnesium).
When water is removed from it's source, the more circuitous the piping system from POE to POU, the more opportunity exists for scale to:
- Narrow pipes and cause corrosion
- Create undue pressure on the delivery system
- Trap further contaminants within the system
The aesthetic concerns about hard water -- especially water used in beverage service -- affecting business owners and customers alike.
Real and costly damage can be done to commercial entities and public infrastructure -- again affecting business owners and taxpayers alike.
Let Paragon Water Systems attack the scale issue with its unique filtration solutions. We are uniquely adept at designing and manufacturing water treatment media to keep scale buildup from ruining the delivery system as well as snag contaminants in the water flow.
