How it Works
ScaleRID's coil produces an electric field using a complex modulating frequency wave form which produces an impulse that changes the electrical and physical properties of the scale-forming molecules. This causes the adhesive properties of the calcium carbonate and other minerals to repel rather than adhere to pipes and fixtures. The crystals remain in suspension and just go down the drain. The action stops any further build-up of scale and, because the solubility of the water is increased, existing scale is taken back into the water and gradually removed.
