Capricarn scale-capture a one shot solution to problems of lime scale and hard water. Water that is naturally hard, as in 70% of india, contains dissolved calcium and other minerals. This effect on pipeline and water systems can be disastrous. When water-borne minerals such as calcium bicarbonate, revert to their solid carbonate state, lime scale is formed in water systems and this narrows pipes, blocks jets, slows the flow, reduces thermal efficiency and provides a breeding ground for bacteria. It is seen just 6 mm lime scale can reduce energy efficiency by a staggering 40% and in a moderately hard water area – 6 mm of lime scale can form in pipe-work or on heat-exchangers in just 2 years. This in turn results in higher running cost. Lots of money wasted in increased energy bills, lost production and early renewal of capital equipments. When water is heated the hard water releases the carbon dioxide reverting the calcium back to its carbonate stage by precipitating hard, ionically charged crystals. These are immediately attracted to the closest surface exhibiting an opposite ionic charge.
