Water contains many different types of hardness ions that cause scale. The scale-causing ions (dissolved limescale) pass through a bed of food grade ceramic beads within the unit and are transformed into non-scale causing crystals. The crystals attach themselves to the beads. When they reach a certain size, they release themselves from the beads back into the water, where they pass through the post filter.
As a result of this permanent physical change, scale no longer has the possibility of forming on surfaces including heating coils and elements, fittings, or the inside of pipes etc. The water becomes both non-scale forming and also descaling, offering many benefits in its performance. Crystals (a by-product of Scaleout operation) are reduced by the post filter.
However in areas with high levels of water hardness, they may sometimes show themselves after tap water has evaporated. We recommend this harmless white residue is simply wiped away before it accumulates.
Note: Monarch’s CBT resin is the only one that treats scale-forming cations and anions in the water. Additionally, Monarch’s unique CBT ensures pH stability and corrosion control in all types of water. It is the only one available to give this guarantee.
