System includes a 2-stage 20" Big Blue filter: 5 Micron Sediment Filter - removes sand, dirt, and sediment Carbon Filter - removes chlorine, tastes, odors, and chemicals from the water, improving the quality and taste --The MagnaZone® Anti-Scaling Device (ASD) Filtration System works on plumbing up to 1" in size and treats up to 20 GPM. --Filtration System includes MagnaZone® anti-scaling device (ASD), 2-stage Big Blue filter on a mounting bracket, 1" PVC ball valve, a 1" PVC closed nipple, filter housing wrench, and instructions. --The anti-scaling device doesn't require any back-washing, so you have no wasted water. The system also requires no electricity, so the system can be installed in a location that is the most convenient for you. --The anti-scaling device works to suspend the calcium in the water as it passes through, -- Hard water entering the anti-scaling device inlet flows across the catalyst element. The surface of the catalyst element consists of millions of bi-and trimetallic junctions similar in geometry to calcium carbonate (CaCO3), the dissolved mineral that makes hard water. Through a phenomenon called lattice matching, minerals attach to each other and form crystals. Minerals in solutions can also be made to attach to other surfaces with similar lattice patterns. Calcium carbonate collects onto these catalysts element junctions. These deposits form microscopic crystals that are less stable, but still attractive to the calcium carbonate in the solution. This process is called nucleation and is familiar to those scientists who work in the areas of semiconductors, physical chemistry and metallurgy. These crystals grow to a size believed to be between .0000004" and .000004", which is too small to be seen with an optical microscope, before they are flushed off the catalyst surface due to combination of crystal instability and the shearing force of the flowing water.
