BACKGROUND The Scalesweeper product is an electro-magnetic device tested by The Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Quebec Canada. The INRS is an independent research-oriented branch of the ten provincially run public universities in Quebec, Canada. INRS conducts research in these sectors: water, earth and the environment. Professor Patrick Drogui (Ph.D) led the team verifying the performance of the Scalesweeper product. Dr.

With Scalesweeper turned off (the red line) shows total hardness measured in the recirculated water reduces dramatically.

Appendix: Calcium and magnesium ions present as sulfates, chlorides, carbonates and bicarbonates cause water to be hard. Water chemists measure water impurities in parts per million (ppm). For understandability, hardness ordinarily is expressed in grains of hardness per gallon of water (gpg). The two systems can be converted mathematically.
