About This Helps Inhibit Scale: Polyphosphates included in This Product bind calcium and magnesium hardness minerals, preventing them from becoming a solid to help reduce the build-up of mineral scale in pipes and water using appliances Helps Protect Hot Water Heaters: Extend the life of water-using appliances such as water heaters, clothes washers and dishwashing machines, as well as plumbing fixtures like faucets, pipes and shower heads by reducing scale build-up and corrosion Not a Filter, A Scale Reduction System: System diverts only a small portion of water passing through the system head into the cartridge to inject polyphosphates in minute concentrations and return it to the water supply to help reduce scale build-up Minute concentrations of polyphosphates help reduce scale build-up by inhibiting the build-up of hardness minerals onto metallic surfaces. Polyphosphates also help reduce corrosion by forming a thin protective layer on the inner-surface of pipes Maintains Efficiency: By Inhibiting Scale Build Up On Heating Elements, Helps Maintain Water Heater Efficiency Easy To Replace: Easy Change Out Of The 3M Aqua-Pure Ap431 Replacement Water Cartridge Makes System Maintenance Easier High Flow Rates: The AP430SS provides unrestricted flow of up to 10 gpm (37.9 lpm) when installed with 3/4” NPT inlet/outlet connections System is to be installed on cold water line feeding water to the water heater. Included System Head fittings are two 3/4" NPT (female) connections. Additional parts and tools are required for installation and not included For parts and tools required, read all instructions carefully and measure your cold water line feed pipe before attempting to start installation Overview Material : Polypropylene (PP), Stainless Steel Product Dimensions : 2.8"D x 2.8"W x 10.2"H Item Weight : 0.86 Kilograms External Testing Certification : NSF Product Benefits : Extends Life of Appliances, Inhibits Lime-Scale Growth
