Scale and Corrosion Inhibitor Housing
The JoJo Scale and Corrosion Inhibitor can be used at a single point-of-entry (for example, under a sink) or it can be connected to the main water supply line to treat water used throughout the home.
Simple to install, this unit is ideal for water of low to medium hardness and can be used to protect a wide range of appliances and systems such as solar devices, air-conditioners, heat exchangers and more.
Important!
The water treated by the Scale and Corrosion Inhibitor is not safe for consumption and should be filtered by one of our other Disruptor™ Filtration Products before drinking.
This unit makes use of phosphorus silicon crystals that have to be placed inside the housing and are sold as a separate item.
Product Features & Benefits:
- Ideal for water of low to medium hardness
- BPA-free, food-grade material
- Protects pipework
- Prevents corrosion
- Reduces energy consumption
- Environmentally friendly
Helpful Tips:
- Do NOT use hot water (this system can only filter water between 2-45 ˚C)
- This system can operate between water pressures of 100-400kPa
- Installation must comply with local plumbing codes
- Do not install this system using copper solder fittings, as the heat from the soldering will damage the unit
- Use PTFE thread tape at all threaded joints
- It is advised to clean the housing at least once a month, or when replacing the crystals
- In order to obtain optimum filtration, it is recommended to replace the crystals before they are completely finished, it is advised to monitor the levels on a monthly basis.
PVC Threaded and Glue Fittings
PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) fittings are used to connect sections of pipes or tubes, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and controlling the flow of water. There are two predominant types of PVC fittings namely PVC Glue Fittings and PVC Threaded Fittings. The difference between the two is that PVC Glue Fittings result in permanent joints and PVC Threaded Fittings are semi-permanent and can be replaced. PVC Glue fittings are joined with primer and cement- a chemical solvent that melts the surface of the PVC and then quickly re-hardens to fuse the pieces together. This results in an airtight, leak-proof bond similar to what you get with welding metal. An example of such a fitting is a PVC Glue Reducing Socket which is used to join together two pieces of PVC pipes with different diameters. Another example would be a 90 Degree Elbow which is used to connect two pipes of the same diameter at an angle of 90 degrees.PVC Threaded fittings utilise a simple threaded connection whereby replaceable 'male threaded' are screwed into 'female threaded'.Male threads have a thread on the outside of the fitting and female threads have a thread on the inside. When you thread the fitting in, it compresses against the other threads.PTFE tape is used to thread these together and the proper way to assemble threaded fittings is to finger tighten, then add one to two turns but no more. An example of a threaded fitting is a Reducing Nipple Male Threaded which is used to connect between two female threads of different diameters.
