Water Defender Water Conditioner
Water Defender offers a Green solution to the day-to-day water problems.
Imagine having water that works for you .
Water Defender the Green alternative to conditioning hard water. The Water
Defender does what your water softener can do but WITHOUT sodium ions. Clean
water minus the salt! The Water Defender is an environmentally friendly device
which requires no maintenance, no salt, no chemicals, and no filters! Scale
build up is damaging to skin and hair, and reduces life span on plumbing
fixtures, appliances and water heaters. The Water Defender is a maintenance free
water treatment system that will prevent the formation of scale, remove existing
scale, and reduce maintenance while saving you money!
Did you know that there could be calcium carbonate deposits in your water
softener? You save by not wasting water and electricity. Salt-based systems can
waste 200 gallons of water when regenerating. The Water Defender will help you
save money and energy! Scale is a coating or precipitate deposited on surfaces
that are in contact with hard water. The most common form of scale is calcium
carbonate. When hard water is heated and evaporation takes place, the problems
are increased tremendously. Scale can be found inside hot water pipes, inside
water heaters, on shower and bath surfaces, around faucets, water fixtures,
humidifiers, and around appliances.

WATER DEFENDER
The water defender is an electronic device that produces a low frequency
signal which causes calcium carbonate to break down in solution. It reduces the
hardness of water. So, how does a water softener in the average household work?
Calcium and magnesium ions in the water are replaced with sodium ions. Sodium
ions are essential to good, soft water; however, in order for a water softener
to convert hard water into soft water, an ion replacement needs to take place.
Water runs through a chemical matrix called zeolite. This matrix consists of
little plastic beads covered in sodium ions. The sodium ions switch places with
the calcium and magnesium ions, as the water flows through the matrix,
converting the hard water into soft water. Unfortunately, as this process ends,
the little plastic beads which once contained sodium ions will eventually
contain only calcium and magnesium. This is the point at which the water
softener must regenerate the beads and start the process all over, once again
converting hard water into soft water.
The average homeowner will save a percentage of their hot water heating cost
due to the removal of scale build up using the Water Defender. Water will clean
better, soap will lather better, and hair will feel cleaner. Scale can form on
the inside of pipes, water heaters, and kitchen appliances by way of hard water.
The most common form of scale found in residential areas is calcium carbonate.
Calcium doesn’t conduct heat well which can reduce water flow, and calcium
deposits also destroy your home appliances. With scale build up in your water
lines and water heater, you are creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Some
counties in the United States have made salt-based water softeners illegal due
to the environmental damages caused by these units. Hard water contains calcium
and magnesium which causes many problems. Scale accumulates in the pipelines
which causes water flow restrictions. These restrictions reduce the water
pressure which can lead to lower efficiency and can cause heating elements to
work harder. Thus requiring more energy! Water softeners not only add unwanted
chemicals to your water supply, but remove the healthy nutrients from your
water.
The Water Defender product includes two principal components: (1) a control
unit containing a microprocessor that sends out a square-wave current that
rapidly sweeps back and forth across a broad range of select frequencies; and
(2) signal coils that carry this current and that wrap multiple times around an
incoming water pipeline. This arrangement induces an electromagnetic field
perpendicular to the water stream inside the pipeline. Because of the rapid
back-and-forth sweep of the current—from one end of the frequency range to the
other—the induced field is highly dynamic and agitating in character.
This molecular-level agitation causes calcium carbonate to precipitate out of
solution as soft, nonadhesive, submicron particles. These remain suspended in
the water and flow harmlessly through the system. In this way the product
prevents formation of the tenaciously adhesive crystal that would otherwise
progressively deposit on surfaces and foul equipment, especially heat-process
equipment.
Removal of already-existing scale comes as the necessary byproduct of this
scale-prevention process. The radical reduction in calcium hardness yields a
corresponding increase in water solvency. This flow of highly solvent water then
steadily removes already-existing scales—not only of calcium carbonate, but also
of magnesium carbonate and other scale-forming minerals. Once already-existing
scales are removed, the prevention process stops any further buildup.
Water Defender produces an oscillating electric field in the water pipe that
changes continuously in frequency and direction. This changes the property of
the hardness minerals so they stay in solution. The calcium looses its ability
to adhere or stick to whatever it would come in contact with would be a simply
way of putting it.
Lime scale build-up, is caused by calcium in hard water, it is one of the
largest problems that homeowners and industry face today. As water flows through
your system, it forms in pipes, faucets, hot water tanks and, most critically,
heat exchangers. When scale builds up in heat exchangers or hot water tanks it
causes a reduction in heat transfer, reducing efficiencies and preventing
machines from operating at full capacity (note: a scale build-up of only 1/16”
of an inch can reduce heat transfer by almost 20%). In addition to reducing heat
transfer, extensive maintenance is usually required to remove scale build up,
which translates into mechanical breakdown of hot water tanks, pumps and faucets
any thing that comes into contact with this hard water. Many homeowners and
industry leaders have tried chemicals, water softeners, or ion exchange units,
but these methods are too costly for continuous use and they only reduce scale,
not eliminate it.
