E. Wrapping the Signal Cable (continued)
7. Once the first layer of wrapping is completed, strap on a second cable tie at
the end of the wrappings, securing the signal cable tightly and in place on the
pipe. Never overwrap the amount of wrappings required.
8. Continue the wrapping around the pipe and go right over the top of the first
layer - continuing in the same direction around the pipe as the first layer –
clockwise or counterclockwise. This second layer must also be tight and
touching the prior wrap. The total number of wraps would be DOUBLE the
amount shown on the chart. ** For example, if the number of required
wrappings is “Double 50 wraps”, there would be a total of 100 wraps.
9. If a second wrapping of signal cable was installed, a third cable tie will be
needed to be strapped on to secure the additional wrap of signal cable added
on. This can go alongside the first cable tie.
10. Route the loose end of the signal cable back to the power box. Trim excess
cable to length.
11. Carefully strip the outer plastic shield from the end of the signal cable
leaving 1/4” to 3/8” of bare cable. Twist the bare cable and insert the end on
the other terminal block hole located on the bottom of the power unit. Then
gently tug the wire to insure it is locked into place.
12. Try to keep the incoming and outgoing signal cable wires that are going
from the power box to the pipe from touching each other as much as
possible.
Note: To remove the wire from the power unit, push the button below the wire
with a finger or small screwdriver and pull the wire out of the terminal hole.

I left for the holidays and came back and
noticed my water did not feel the same as
before. Did I do something wrong?
ScaleBlaster will hold a charge to the water for about
110-hours. Once you use up the existing water in the
water heater, you will be back to normal. This will not
affect the preventative maintenance of ScaleBlaster.
How much electricity does ScaleBlaster use
a year?
ScaleBlaster will use about 15 watts of electricity –
about that of a nightlight. Depending on the cost per
KWh, the average house would use about $8.76 a
year in electricity.
Does ScaleBlaster help with rust stains?
We get many people who claim ScaleBlaster helps out
on rust stains, but have no scientific proof that it does. If
the stain is part of a calcium/magnesium deposit, it will
go away when the calcium/magnesium is dissolved.
Does ScaleBlaster work with high iron or
sulfur content? Will it get rid of the “rotten
egg” smell?
ScaleBlaster will not affect iron or sulfur in the water, nor
will levels of iron or sulfur affect the unit from working. It
will not remove iron or sulfur from the water. While we
get many people who claim it got rid of their “rotten egg”
smell, we have no scientific proof of this.
Does ScaleBlaster remove or kill bacteria?
ScaleBlaster does not kill bacteria, but it does remove
the main breeding ground for bacteria – limescale
formation in the pipes. When the scale is removed,
so is the breeding ground for bacteria.
Does ScaleBlaster affect the taste of water?
ScaleBlaster will not remove anything from the water.
We only affect the calcium and magnesium
molecules. ScaleBlaster will not remove chlorine from
the water. We do however, get many complements
that the water taste better – perhaps from the
breeding ground of bacteria being removed. Again,
there is no scientific proof of this.
When wrapping on copper pipe, make sure the coils are always
wrapped around the pipe in the same direction.
