The document discusses options for preventing hard scale buildup in commercial water systems, including water softening and physical water conditioning. Water softening uses salt to exchange calcium ions, but wastes water and salt during regeneration and increases costs and environmental impact. Physical water conditioners promise complete protection without chemicals, but previous technologies have not delivered expected results. The document introduces Contra Calc, an advanced physical water conditioner that exceeds expectations by converting calcium ions into a non-scaling form using an energy field, without chemicals or waste. It provides complete site protection with low maintenance.

It exchanges calcium for sodium to generate soft water but also salt water during regeneration that may harm the environment upon discharge. The regeneration cycle, which can be daily, also wastes considerable amounts of water. Servicing and delivery of salt bags can make softening an expensive process as well as increasing the carbon footprint. Water softening is rarely used in drinking water due to health concerns and this prevents water softening from providing complete site protection. Physical water conditioning This is the modern approach. It promises complete site protection against hard scale without adding chemicals to the water or stripping it of minerals. It doesn’t waste water and has minimal maintenance costs. Until now, the results from physical water conditioners have often not matched expectation. Now an advanced technology is available that exceeds expectation. Complete site protection is available from a single unit installed in the incoming mains cold supply. Contra Calc incorporates the latest advances in physical water conditioning. This includes: The dedicated energy field generated by Contra Calc separates calcium from its molecular state and converts it to a small, amorphous and neutrally charged form that will not adhere to surfaces as hard scale. Pre-existing hard scale is gradually and safely dissolved through the action of natural elements that are liberated during the calcium conversion process. It works every time, under all conditions and up to near boiling point. (100°Celsius) Contra Calc is clean technology that uses no chemicals and requires no servicing. Every Contra Calc is supplied with an automatic 24/7 water leak KEY BENEFITS Stop hard scale forming Remove existing hard scale Safe for drinking water use Effective with one unit per site No servicing required Save water and costs of water softening TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Multiple sizes for variable water flow rates Effective in water up to 100°Celsius Electro-dynamic operating principle In-line particle filter with cleaning function Water leak detection alarm Fig1. ScalecrystalsBEFOREtreatmentmagnifiedx1300 Fig2.ScalecrystalsAFTERtreatmentmagnifiedx1300 l In-flow electrode design ensures the energy field is applied at the required alignment angle to effect water molecules l Variable electrical frequencies applied by optimal sequencing can treat variable flow conditions and is the result of decades of research and testing detection feature that could save thousands of litres in undetected water leaks and is completed by an integral particle filter to stop large particles such as rust from entering the building. The particle filter has a unique back flush facility that clears the filter either manually or automatically via a solenoid and timer. Contra Calc is an indispensable and ‘must have’ technology for complete site protection against hard scale, large particles and water leaks. It will save maintenance costs and lower your carbon footprint at the same time. Part G of Building Regulations recommends that commercial sites in hard water areas take measures to reduce hard scale. The current options for commercial sites are water softening or the physical conditioning of water.
