Solved the Evaporative Air Cooler Problems - How ScaleBlaster Solved the Evaporative Air Cooler Problems at a Postal Distribution Center

Our previous article discussed how the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is one of the most affordable and effective hard water treatment options for homeowners and businesses dealing with scale buildup on their evaporative air coolers.  Today, we will take a closer look at a commercial operation that invested in ScaleBlaster to resolve the issues scale was causing on their evaporative air coolers.

The Phoenix Postal Distribution Center handles mail for the entire state of Arizona, distributing it to hundreds of post offices throughout the state. The building has 50 evaporative air coolers located on the roof.  These air coolers are a lifeline for workers, especially during the extreme heat of summer.  However, the cooler pads would rapidly accumulate scale, requiring time-consuming and costly maintenance to clean and replace the pads.

A ScaleBlaster SB-MAX was installed to help address the issue. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler not only prevents new scale from forming, but it is also effective at water scale removal/pipe scale removal.  Management reported that within weeks, the deposits had noticeably washed away.  After a few months, the limescale buildup on the cooler pads was resolved and there was no longer a need to clean and replace them as frequently, thus resulting in a significant time and costs savings.

If you are exploring hard water treatment options, we encourage you to give ScaleBlaster a try. It is an effective limescale eliminator and prevents new scale from forming, which is why so many businesses have installed this affordable, cost-saving solution. Industrial operations that rely on cooling tower biocide also benefit from reduced chemicals and maintenance costs.  Want to learn more about how the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler can benefit your commercial or industrial operation?  If so, contact the commercial/industrial specialist nearest to you or e-mail us at sales@scaleblaster.com.

Evaporative air coolers are commonly found in the western United States.  Hard water wreaks havoc on these systems by causing severe scaling that requires constant maintenance and replacement of the filter pads.  Clogged pads must be addressed because the resulting air flow reduction increases humidity and adversely affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the evaporative air cooler.  The corrosion rate also increases as scale builds, causing considerable depreciation of parts such as brackets, blowers, and pumps.

Homeowners with evaporative air coolers can benefit from installing a ScaleBlaster residential hard water solution.  Businesses seeking hard water treatment options also should consider the commercial/industrial ScaleBlaster models.  This electronic water descaler not only handles water scale removal / pipe scale removal but also prevents new scale from forming, thus resulting in less maintenance and improved overall performance of evaporative air cooler systems.

There are numerous benefits of installing a ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler to solve issues caused by scale buildup on your evaporative air cooler.

  1. Because ScaleBlaster is a limescale eliminator, you no longer have to climb on your roof every month to clean or change filter pads.
  1. The ScaleBlaster is one of the most effective hard water treatment options on the market today, saving homeowners and businesses thousands of dollars on maintenance services, cooler parts, filter pads, etc.
  1. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler helps prevent the bleed line from clogging which causes higher TDS levels and an increased amount of scale.
  1. Best of all, ScaleBlaster allows the air cooler to function at its maximum potential, providing cool, maintenance-free air!

If your home or business has an evaporative air cooler, then ScaleBlaster is the most affordable and effective commercial/residential hard water solution to consider.  Clearwater Enviro Technologies first introduced the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler in 1991 and the product has become one of the most sought after hard water treatment options on the market.

(part one)

Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City, Oklahoma is located in an area of the United States with extremely hard water.  The base needed to address their hard water issues, especially in their barracks and cafeteria.  They initially implemented one of the most costly hard water treatment options on the market – water softeners.  Not only are water softeners expensive to purchase, but they also cost a lot to operate.

Officials at Tinker began searching for an alternative to expensive water softeners.  After researching many hard water treatment options, they decided to have dozens of commercial ScaleBlaster units installed in their barracks and cafeteria areas.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler worked so well, they installed more throughout the base.  Best of all, it saved them money:

Chemical Free

Water softeners are expensive to maintain and require salt to operate.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is one of the most environmentally-friendly hard water treatment options available since it does not require chemicals or undergo a backwash process that pollutes the environment. This made it especially attractive since the base had implemented a green initiative.

Conserving Water

Water softeners waste water and, as mentioned above, require a backwash process.  Conserving water is not only responsible, but also saves money.

Our next article will look at another military base that has saved money by implementing the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler.

ScaleBlaster has become the commercial, industrial, and residential hard water solution of choice.  Not only is it a limescale eliminator that is effective at pipe scale removal / water scale removal, but it also prevents new scale from forming.

How Do I Know If I Have a Hard Water Problem?

How Do I Know If I Have a Hard Water Problem?

Have a Hard Water Problem - How Do I Know If I Have a Hard Water Problem?

It can be difficult to know if you have a hard water problem, especially when you move into a new home.  Testing your water and/or obtaining water reports from your municipal water provider is a good place to start.  If your home is new and you have hard water, it is advisable to install a residential hard water solution before you begin to have problems.  Let’s take a look at some common signs of hard water.  If you are experiencing any of these, you should consider installing the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler right away to prevent hard water issues from escalating.

Crusty Buildup

If you notice a crusty buildup in faucets, showerheads, drains and any fixtures exposed to water, then you need to start considering hard water treatment options. This crusty buildup is lime scale, and it is caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium found in hard water. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler prevents calcium carbonate from adhering to pipes and fixtures, thus keeping new scale from forming. ScaleBlaster is an effective lime scale remover as well.

Appliances Not Working Efficiently

Lime scale buildup can cause appliances that come into contact with water (i.e. washer, dishwasher, coffee maker, etc.) to be less efficient.  Less efficient appliances have to work harder and often require more electricity to operate. The ScaleBlaster residential hard water solution is an effective lime scale remover. It will address existing pipe scale and keep new scale from forming.

Water Flow Issues

If you notice issues with your water flow, this could be a result of lime scale buildup in your pipes. ScaleBlaster is an effective lime scale remover that is safe, eco-friendly and does not require the use of chemicals. Once installed, it not only handles pipe scale removal, but it prevents new scale from forming, which is why ScaleBlaster has become such a popular residential hard water solution.

When it comes to hard water treatment options, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is the preferred choice among homeowners.  They choose ScaleBlaster because it is affordable, effective, easy to install and requires no chemicals, salt or maintenance. If you are seeking a residential hard water solution, look no further. ScaleBlaster is available at Home Depot (in-store and online) or online at Lowe’s and Costco.  Consider picking one up today!

Residential Hard Water Solution

Do I Really Need a Residential Hard Water Solution?

Residential Hard Water Solution - Do I Really Need a Residential Hard Water Solution?

Part One

Many homeowners contemplate whether or not they need a residential hard water solution.  Some are hesitant because many hard water treatment options can be costly. Fortunately, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is a residential hard water solution that is affordable and effective in water scale removal and prevention.

Our next series of articles will examine some of the primary reasons why homeowners should consider hard water treatment options.

Appliances

Over time, appliances that come in contact with hard water (i.e. coffeemaker, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) operate less efficiently due to limescale buildup.  The ScaleBlaster residential hard water solution is effective in both water scale removal and prevention.  Therefore, once ScaleBlaster is installed, your appliances will begin to operate more efficiently thus improving their life expectancy.

Showerheads and Faucets

Showerheads, faucets and other fixtures that come into contact with hard water are subject to limescale buildup. Once the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is installed, water scale removal begins.  Over time, you will notice your showers and faucets operating more efficiently and there will be no more “white” buildup and soap scum to scrub and clean.

Poor Water Pressure

Poor water pressure is caused by limescale buildup.  Homeowners often choose ScaleBlaster over other hard water treatment options because it is effective in both pipe scale removal and prevention.

Our next article will cover additional reasons why homeowners should consider a residential hard water solution.

As you can see, when it comes to hard water treatment options, ScaleBlaster has tremendous benefits.  Additionally, it is eco-friendly, requires no maintenance, and does not use any chemicals. If you are ready to implement a residential hard water solution, then give the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler a try.  It is available at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco.

Hard Water Treatment

Consequences of Hard Water

We are continuing our series on problems caused by hard water.  Many homeowners turn to water decalcification systems to help resolve their hard water issues.  However, not all hard water treatment options are equal.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is a residential hard water solution that is extremely effective for both water scale removal and prevention.  Pipe scale removal is important because it resolves some of the issues we are discussing in this series including clogged pipes and issues with appliances.

Let’s take a look at a few more consequences of hard water and reasons why homeowners often seek a residential hard water solution:

Clothes Not Getting Clean/Fading

Hard water has a negative impact on clothes for many reasons.  One, the calcium and magnesium content of hard water can cause laundry to gray or yellow.  High mineral content can also inhibit the water from effectively mixing with detergents.  Additional issues are caused when the washing machine is not operating at peak performance thanks to limescale buildup.  This is why pipe scale removal / water scale removal is so important.

Difficulties Lathering Soap

Hard water makes it more difficult for soap to lather. Once you install an electronic water descaler, you will begin to notice that your soap lathers more, your skin feels smoother and hair is more manageable.  Once pipe scale removal / water scale removal is complete, you will even notice that your shower heads and faucets no longer clog with limescale.

Spots on Dishes

The minerals in hard water often leave dishes looking dirty and spotty, even when they come fresh out of the dishwasher.  Once you install the ScaleBlaster residential hard water solution you will notice that your dishes appear much cleaner.

Are you experiencing some of these consequences of hard water and interested in learning more about water decalcification systems and hard water treatment options?  If so, we can help. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is an effective and affordable residential hard water solution.  Best of all, it’s easy to install and requires no maintenance.  ScaleBlaster is available in-store and online at Home Depot and online at Lowe’s and Costco.  What are you waiting for?  Pick one up today!

Electronic Water Descaler

Advantages of Installing an Electronic Water Descaler Instead of a Water Softener

Advantages of Installing an Electronic Water Descaler - Advantages of Installing an Electronic Water Descaler Instead of a Water Softener

Part Two

When it comes to shopping for a hard water scale remover and limescale prevention solution, the two main choices for homeowners are an electronic water descaler and a water softener.  We are continuing our two-part series on the advantages of installing an electronic water descaler.

Eco-Friendly

The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler requires no salt or chemicals to be effective as a hard water scale remover and limescale prevention solution. Water softeners, on the otherhand, use salt and chemicals that are discharged into the waste stream and unable to be removed by wastewater treatment facilities.  ScaleBlaster is an eco-friendly water softener alternative.

Overall Effects on the Water

Water softeners make skin feel dry.  The water also feels slippery and soap suds are difficult to remove.  Once you install ScaleBlaster, the pipe scale removal process begins. You will gradually start to notice that your skin feels softer, the water feels silkier and soap suds easily wash away.  The full benefits of ScaleBlaster will be apparent after a few months.

Healthy

Water softeners add salt to the water. Added salt in drinking water is not recommended for people on salt restricted diets or pets. Water softeners also remove all calcium from the water.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler does not require chemicals to be an effective limescale remover.  It also does an excellent job in preventing new scale from forming.

Cost Savings

ScaleBlaster is a residential hard water solution that is much more cost effective than purchasing a water softener system.  Furthermore, ScaleBlaster is a one-time investment that is not only effective in pipe scale removal / water scale removal, but also prevents new scale from forming all together.  Another advantage an electronic water descaler has over water softeners is that it requires no additional water to operate and does not use filters.  The water savings alone makes an electronic water descaler a sound investment.

Residential Hard Water Solution

Why is ScaleBlaster the Preferred Residential Hard Water Solution?

Residential Hard Water Solution - Why is ScaleBlaster the Preferred Residential Hard Water Solution?

ScaleBlaster was first released in 1995 and became the first and only electronic water descaler to be successful in the residential, commercial and industrial markets. Since then, there have been competitors emerge onto the scene with inferior electronic water descaler models that don’t hold a candle to the water scale removal and prevention qualities of ScaleBlaster.

ScaleBlaster underwent several years of testing and development before being released.  We knew that there were many electronic water descaler products on the market with questionable reputations.  This was something we had to overcome and we did so by first developing an effective and reliable hard water scale removal and prevention product and then building a worldwide network of dealers and major retailers that believed in ScaleBlaster.

When it comes to a residential hard water solution, ScaleBlaster is considered the industry gold standard.  Let’s take a look at some aspects that make it so appealing to homeowners.

Easy to Install

ScaleBlaster can be easily installed by homeowners and requires no additional plumbing in most cases.  Just install it on the incoming water line and it is good to go!

Maintenance Free

Water softeners require ongoing maintenance.  Any chemical limescale remover requires continual use. ScaleBlaster is completely maintenance free.

Eco-Friendly

The traditional limescale remover uses harsh chemicals that are not favorable for humans or the environment.  Water softeners also require salt which is not only harmful to pets and people on salt restricted diets but also very negative for the environment.

The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is an effective hard water scale remover and also prevents new scale from forming without using chemicals or salt.

If you have hard water scale removal on your mind, then ScaleBlaster is the solution. Our residential models can be purchased at Lowe’s (online) and Home Depot (in-store and online).  We are also available to answer any questions you have.  Give ScaleBlaster a try today. It will not disappoint!
