How does WSNAC20 works?

Water contains two main types of hardness ions that cause scale. WSNAC20 resin treats both, the Cations, and the Anions in water. The scale-causing ions (dissolved limescale) pass through a bed of food-grade ceramic beads.

These ceramic beads convert the ions into non-scale causing crystals that flow harmlessly through your plumbing system and end up down the drain.

Scale into non-scale crystals

The crystals in the water are non-scale forming whilst also descaling, offering many benefits to the homeowner in its performance.

These special crystals once created (permanent), cannot form as hard scale on surfaces including heating coils and elements, fittings, or the inside of pipes etc.

In areas with high levels of water hardness, the crystals may show themselves as a white residue (soft scale) after water has evaporated. We recommend this harmless residue be simply wiped away before allowed to accumulate.

Additionally, a filtration of 10 microns is designed to significantly reduce any residue seen.

The chemical of WSNAC20

Once the amorphous particles reach the catalytic surface of WSNAC20 (2) they transform into carbonate crystals (1). Since the crystals are stable compared with amorphous particles, the process is not reversible, and crystals leave the FILTERSORB® WSNAC20 surface.

WSNAC20 formed crystals can sustain a temperature of up to 140°C, before a structural breakdown back to the calcite form. This property of the transformed hardness makes the treated water perfect for hot water applications and boilers.

During the flow, some of the micro-bubbles lose a small amount of CO2, which diffuses rapidly in water and interacts with surface scale, especially in closed spaces (pipes, boilers, etc). As a result, the scale which is already present on these surfaces is slowly softened and removed.

NAC via WSNAC20, is the only form of water treatment that can guarantee permanent crystal creation that will not revert back to the calcite form (scale creation). This together with its CBT ensures the longevity of the beads and performance.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF WSNAC20

NO TDS CHANGE: WSNAC20 doesn’t alter water content; no ion exchange changes TDS before/after treatment.

NO PH CHANGE: The consistent pH makes the treated water suitable for nearly corrosion-free use.

MINERALS PRESERVED: WSNAC20 preserves water’s natural Calcium and Magnesium, creating exceptionally healthy mineral water.

DE-SCALING: WSNAC20 water not only prevents scale but also removes existing scale through crystal abrasion during water flow.

BIOCIDES: The NAC process forms CO2 micro-bubbles that both prevent scaling and act as a biocide by destroying bacterial membranes, preventing Biofouling.

CERAMIC BEAD TECHNOLOGY: Unlike other treatments, NAC involves self-assembling durable crystals on bead surfaces. WSNAC20 beads have a dual glass coating (CBT) for protection and performance.
