There are a few factors to consider when you determine what ScaleBlaster unit you
should get:
Water hardness level
Refer to the map on the right to determine your water hardness level. Of course,
this is a general inductor of what your actual water hardness is. If you have
a well, your water hardness readings will actually be much higher than shown on
this chart. City water will differ from well water. For reference:
gpg= grains per gallon. ppm= parts per million and is the same a mg/L
Size of house/incoming pipe size
The size of the incoming water supply line going to your house is critical in determining
the proper unit. The larger the pipe, the more powerful unit you will need.
All ScaleBlaster units will work on COPPER, PVC or PEX pipe with no problem. We
have a special unit for ferrous based pipe (galvanized, steel, iron) that has “magnetic
characteristics”.
Type of pipe
* In most circumstances, installations can be done by the homeowner. No plumbing
work is required!
