IMPORTANT NOTES

Clean aerator screens:

During the descaling period, some deposits may collect inside the nozzles

or aerator screens. Make sure to inspect those places regularly during the

initial three months until no more loose scale appears: unscrew, shake

loose scale, reinstall.

Drain your water heater:

It is recommended to drain the water heater for best results. Drain about 5 gallons (22

liters) of water from the water heater. Do this by connecting a hose to the valve at the

bottom and drain into a bucket. Perform this operation once a month for 90 days or until

water comes out clear.

Older buildings

In older buildings with existing scale, for some time after installation, the unit will be

descaling your water system. This often results in the water appearing to be harder and

loose scale particles appearing in places like showerheads and aerator screens. Once

interior descaling is complete, your water system will be scale-free and the

Scalewatcher Nano will deliver the best results.

Evaporation

The calcium hardness previously in solution is now in SUSPENSION in form of a fine

invisible powder which flows to the drain. As water evaporates on dishes or sinks, some

white spots may become visible in a form of a fine and innocuous powder, which will

easily wipe away leaving no marks or spotting.

Water softeners

Water Softeners often leave deposits inside a water system. Therefore, if a softener is

in use, you may want to allow the Scalewatcher Nano System to remove the deposits

before the softener is switched off. In that case, it is strongly recommended to leave the

softener and the Scalewatcher Nano System on, together during four to eight weeks

(depending on water usage and amount of existing deposits). You will notice your

softener working more efficiently and using less salt.

Tankless water heaters

Tankless water heaters and radiant heating applications: periodically inspect and clean

the sediment filtering screens until no more scale particles are visible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How will you know that the Scalewatcher Nano system is working?

The amount of time required before you experience the effects of the system varies

depending on the amount of water used. Generally, signs of aggressive descaling are

seen within one to two weeks.

Note: The system may initially seem to be less than fully effective at times. This is due

to the removal of the existing scale, which is brought back into solution briefly creating

the effect of increased water hardness. Once the pre existing scale has been removed

from the pipes, the full effectiveness of the system will be experienced.
