    AquaSolve 50 75 gpm Info.pdf
    The AquaSolve® Anti-Scale System, developed by PVI Industries, provides a chemical-free solution for preventing scale formation in plumbing systems. It transforms dissolved hardness minerals into suspended, harmless microparticles, reducing buildup in pipes and appliances. Unlike traditional water softeners, AquaSolve uses environmentally friendly technology, requires no maintenance, and operates without electricity or chemicals. The system can be installed at a building's water entry point or directly before appliances needing scale protection and is certified for lead-free compliance. Key benefits include compatibility with all wastewater systems, no salt addition, and ease of installation. It is suitable for municipalities restricting water softeners and operates effectively under certain water chemistry conditions, with a maximum hardness threshold of 30 grains per gallon. Recommended installation procedures include using flexible connections and ensuring proper support for piping. Regular media replacement is required every three years for optimal performance. Overall, the AquaSolve system exemplifies a sustainable approach to water treatment, addressing scale-related issues efficiently while adhering to environmental standards, which may be applicable in contexts of federal and state RFPs focused on sustainable infrastructure and water management solutions.

Its effortless installation and operation make it an attractive option for government and commercial entities seeking environmentally sustainable solutions. Operational specifications include compatibility with a range of pH, hardness levels, and water temperatures, ensuring broad applicability.
