Questions and Answers for Calmat 0-59 GPG Electronic Anti Scale and Rust Water Conditioner Treatment System Made in Germany for the Whole House

A:  It is better to install Calmat after the pressure tank, so the water in the pipes is better treated. In the pressure tank, the water stays for some time without any effect, preventing the nano crystals to grow. The longer it stays, the more efficiency gets lost, that is why we prefer to treat after the pressure tank, where the water is being consumed and circulating throughout the piping system. All the turbulences meanwhile let the crystals grow and the effect stabilizes more and more.

A:  The optimal condition for Calmat to work at full capacity is that your manganese content doesn't exceed more than 0.1 mg/l (0.1 ppm). If your manganese contents are higher than these numbers it is recommended to add a manganese filter before Calmat, so Calmat will work at full capacity. Note that over 0.1 mg/l is a very high value of manganese, not very common in most households.

A:  If the unit is installed on the pipe that supplies cold water, only the cold water in the home would be treated, as calmat works downstream. If you have zero access to the main water pipe at any point of the piping system, you may have to either install two units; one on the cold water pipe and one on the pipe that feeds into your hot water tank/system, or create access to the main water pipe anywhere before the cold/hot water split. For further assistance to figure out other possible options, you could reach out to us at info@spacioinnovations.com. Calmat works on all pipe materials equally well.

A:  Calmat has successfully treated cases with a water hardness of 1000 mg/L (~ 59 gpg) or more. There is no minimum hardness your water should be for the unit to be effective. Your water hardness of 8 GPG would be no problem for the Calmat unit.

A:  If you would be installing the Calmat unit on the copper pipe, you would use the Metal (copper) setting. The setup programs are to be selected based on the pipe material and diameter where the impulse cables are wrapped on.

A:  Garden irrigation with sprinklers becomes more reliable as the nozzles stay free of scale longer. Calmat treated water can be absorbed and processed better by plants. As there are less scale spots on the leaves your plants take up water and rainwater better and look healthier. When the Calmat treatment reduces scale, it also takes away rust from the piping system. The benefits of Calmat are: Reduction of scale deposits in the whole piping system and appliances (increasing lifespan), dismantles already existing deposits, corrosion protection, increased water pressure, minimizes rust, and minimizes bacterial growth in pipes.

A:  You can perfectly well use an extension cord.
