Carbon Power & Light members now have access to a low-cost water treatment system that can combat the adverse effects of water corrosion, iron deposits, mineral scale and staining—whether you live in town or have your own well.
The compact Scaltrol water treatment system uses a patented process found to be more effective than water softening products in treating mineral scaling, corrosion and staining.
The Scaltrol system injects measured micro-amounts of phosphate (safe for the environment and people) into your water, preventing mineral molecules in your water from joining together to form scale. This same concept is used on a much larger scale by more than 150 American cities to combat the effects of water corrosion.
Surveys of Scaltrol users show a high rate of satisfaction with the product. Problems such as water spotting, clogged faucets or shower fixtures, water discoloration, staining, dry irritated skin and frequent appliance maintenance were dramatically reduced.
A three-month pilot program with three CPL members also produced positive results. One woman had never been able to do her laundry at home. The high iron content in the water would leave her laundry with an orange hue.
A phone call the day after her Scaltrol was installed found her to be an extremely “happy camper” with a freshly laundered load of whites that were white. She has not been back to the Laundromat. The other two pilot participants were also happy with their Scaltrol systems.
A Scaltrol system is economical to buy and operate. It is non-electrical and non-mechanical and can be easily installed by an experienced do-it-yourselfer or plumber, or you can choose to have it installed by a Carbon Power & Light technician or electrical partner. And it is easy to maintain—simply replace a cartridge about once a year (depending on the water you use).
Scaltrol can actually save you money! Manufacturers of water-using appliances report that 80 percent of service calls are a result of poor water quality. Scaltrol, with phosphates, will loosen and flush scale from your waterlines, leaving a protective microfilm to prevent corrosion and allow water to flow more freely. By reducing mineral deposits, you can prolong the life of your water heater and other water-using appliances and save on costly repairs.
