    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.
    AquaSolve® is an eco-friendly scale control system designed for various commercial applications, including hospitality, healthcare, and military installations. This innovative treatment method employs media-assisted crystallization to prevent and mitigate scale buildup in plumbing and water heating systems without the use of salt or harsh chemicals. Key benefits include improved operational efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and extended equipment lifespan, as it eliminates the need for electricity, wastewater, and backwashing. The system retains beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium while converting hardness minerals into non-adhering crystalized particles that easily flow through pipes. AquaSolve is compact, requiring significantly less installation space than traditional water softeners, and has been scientifically validated to reduce scale formation by over 90%. 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. AquaSolve’s emphasis on safety includes mitigating Legionella risks by reducing sediment accumulation, addressing health concerns alongside scaling issues. This document serves to outline AquaSolve’s capabilities, positioning it as a viable alternative for government RFPs focused on sustainability and efficiency.
