iXA Anti Scale water filter System
A special high-quality food and anti allergenic
ion-exchange resin developed which inhibits (prevents) the growth of hard lime
scale crystals on heating elements, pipework and fittings.
In addition, the iXA Anti Scale filter reduces the
content of heavy metals, chlorine and hydrogen sulphide in the water,
preventing clogging of narrow ducts in shower and plumbing systems. Thanks to
the special properties of this filter media, in the filtered water the calcium
hardness salts Ca2 + and magnesium Mg2 + lose their property of being
"fixed" to the contacting surfaces, thereby preventing the formation
of white deposits and hard limescale on the heating elements and prolonging
their service life. As a result of using the filter with the iXA Anti Scale
media, the scale on the heat exchanger
and pipework does not form, the surface is less exposed to corrosive water,
which increases the service life of the water heating equipment pipework and
sanitary ware, and also reduces gas and electricity costs.
Virtually complete absence of scale on heating elements
Reduction in iron, chlorine, hydrogen sulphide in water
Increase the life of household appliances and water heating equipment
Saving of electricity, Gas and detergents
Delicately removal of pre formed scale deposits
Excellent lifespan and treatable water volume of filter cartridge
Temperature of treated water up to 105c
Effective with the hardness up to 34
Operation principle of the iXA Anti Scale filter.
If no scale is allowed to crystallise (inhibit the growth
of crystals), the hard lime scale remains in a dissolved state and does not form
solid deposits. It is this principle of operation that is embedded in the
filler cartridge. The active ingredient is a food-grade anti-scale reagent,
"planted" inside the anion exchange resin according to the developed
and patented technology by the scientists of the Research and Design Institute, Europe, which prevents the formation
of scale on the heating elements of heating and sanitary equipment.
Hard water significantly reduces the life of household
equipment (boilers, showers, washing
machines, dishwashers) Hard limescale also reduces the effectiveness of soaps
and detergents, the appearance of scale on the dishes, scale and scum on tea
and coffee, deterioration of the taste of cooked food. iXA Anti Scale filter system relieves the hardness of water.
Save money on your Electricity and Gas costs.
The well-known fact that the presence of even a small
layer of scale on the walls of heating equipment significantly worsens the heat
transfer, leads to a surplus of energy resources. Scientific tests have shown
that 1 mm of scale increases the gas or electricity consumption by 10%, and if
the layer of deposits grows to 10 mm, then the additional costs are increased
by half!
This is due to the fact that the scale significantly
reduces the thermal conductivity of the metal. Consequently, the time for
heating the water increases (both due to a slowdown in heat transfer at the
initial stage, and due to a constant reduction in power in the operating mode).
The thermal conductivity of scales in tens, and often in hundreds, times less
than the thermal conductivity of steel, from which heat exchangers are made.
Therefore, even the thinnest layer of scale creates a great thermal resistance
and can lead to such overheating of the pipes of boilers and heat exchangers,
often causing the rupture of pipes. The formation of the scale layer is quite
possible even within 6-12 months of operation, depending on the hardness, the
amount of water consumed and the temperature of heating. Another danger that
lurks behind a layer of salt deposits is that, that the scale is formed unevenly.
This leads to the fact that the heater is heated differently in different
places, which significantly increases its wear and tear and leads to
breakdowns. The solution to this problem is the use of prepared water that will
not form scale.

or apartments, small homes with one bathroom upto two people households
Operating temperature:
+3 - + 43 ° C
Filter material:
food grade ion-exchange resin ( anion exchange )

Recommendations:
After replacing the cartridge, it is necessary to flush
it from process dust and particles approx. 10-20 litres
Do not use the filter longer irrespective of the volume
of water used, cartridge must be changed at least once every 12 months.
Do not exceed the recommended water filtration rate
of 15 l / min - this can cause a deterioration in the
quality and effectiveness of the filter.
