Protect Your Ionizer From Damaging Scale Buildup Caused By Hard Water

IonWays and AlkaViva has always made available to its customers a solution for hard water areas, to help protect the machines from scale build-up.  First, there was an inline pre-filter cartridge and housing that was costly and slightly difficult to install for some.  Then, there was the EOS Conditioner which was much easier to install, but still a little pricey.  Both solutions required "in-line" installtions between the water source and the ionizer.

Now, the solution to hard water and scale buildp is both easy to install AND more affrodable.  The new Scale Guard Inserts by AlkaViva.  Easy, affordable and effective!

Features
The Scale Guard inserts are designed to be used in any model of water ionizer that has an optional mineral port and come in the same "basket" type of dispenser as the Calcium Cartridge Inserts available for those models.

These inserts are sold in packs of two for just under $30 and will last about as long as your water ionizer filter(s). A huge savings over the cost of the old EOS Mark II inline filter.

Each individual insert will last about half of your filter's lifespan (about 500 gallons or 6 months) - so ordering the set of two Scale Guard Inserts when you order your replacement filter will ensure you're fully protected from one filter change to the next.

Pack of two inserts

How do the Scale Guard Inserts work? The Scale Guard Inserts use a type of resin that applies a protective coating on the inner tubing and ionizing chamber which prevents calcium from "sticking" to the inside of your machine. It doesn't remove calcium, per say... but merely prevents the buildup from occurring to begin with. I already have some scale buildup in my ionizer. Can I still use these inserts? Yes, the Scale Guard Inserts have been shown to reduce pre-existing scale buildup from the inside of the ionizer. So, using the inserts when you already have some scale buildup in your ionizer is exactly what you want to do. How do I know when to change the inserts? One way is to simply watch the ionizer's filter counter and replace the insert at the halfway point. Depending on which model ionizer you own, you'll need to change the insert at either 2 bars or when the filter counter reaches 5,000. If you don't get the timing of the insert change right away, there's no need to worry. The Scale Guard Inserts have a cumulative effect in your ionizer - as long as you change the insert near the halfway point, you are still protected. It's important to note that when changing inserts, it's normal to see residual media inside the insert baskets - although the media will not dissolve completely, it will start to lose its effectiveness. Who can benefit from the new Scale Guard Inserts? AlkaViva is now including an easy-to-use test strip with every ionizer being sold. These test strips test for levels of CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), the mineral responsible for hard water scale. If your level is between 51 and 120 ppm, a BioStone Plus is all you should need. If your levels are between 121 and 180 ppm, you should take advantage of Scale Guard Inserts to better protect your ionizer. If your levels are over 181 ppm, there are other means of scale prevention that would better suit your needs. Call us at 1-877-356-2508 to find out about other options. How do I use the Scale Guard Inserts? The inserts are easy to use. All you need to do is open the mineral port cap at the top of your ionizer, remove the clear plastic cap on the Scale Guard Insert basket, place it inside of the mineral port cap, and insert it back into your ionizer. Your ionizer is then protected!

Because they do not have a mineral port, there are several models of water ionizers that cannot use the Scale Guard system. If you have very hard water, and don't own a model of ionizer that has a mineral port or have any concerns about using your ionizer with hard water, please call us for treatment suggestions. 1-877-356-2508.
