Energy Loss and Productivity caused by hard water scale



Contact Waslix (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  |  412-848-5058) for a comprehensive installation plan for your building.


* Sizing an appropriate mineral descaler model/s is a combination of the building’s primary use, diameter of the water pipes where the mineral descaler will be installed, and the anticipated water flow. Other variables such as building height, square footage and supporting equipment (boilers, heat exchanges, cooling tower, etc.) also play a role in developing a holistic descaling plan to lower energy consumption and extend equipment and piping infrastructure lifespans.

Note: to offer a general mineral descaling model sizing plan for the building classifications below, assumptions were made for pipe diameter, number of floors, building size, etc. A final installation plan for your specific building may require more or fewer installed models.


P1 – Concert Hall
P1 – Concert Hall

Mineral Descaling Models:
6" Main Water Pipe: S250
4" Cooling Operation Pipes: S50
2" Equipment Pipes: S10

Installation Considerations:
Using a significantly larger descaler on the main cold water pipe to dramatically improve the descaling benefits of nearby equipment while supporting continued descaling efforts in upper levels. It will not be necessary to use a descaler on the hot water pipe coming from the boiler because  the hot water supply is not used to support bathing facilities.

• Sport Complex
P2 – Lodge Room
P2 – Lodge Room

Mineral Descaling Models:
4" Main Water Pipe: S100
2" Support Equipment Pipe: S10

Installation Considerations:
A simple and direct installation plan to offer descaling improvements for each level of this building. Use additional descalers for semi-closed loop cooling tower / evaporative cooler operations.

• Apartment Buildings
P3 – YWCA, YMCA, YWHA, YMHA, PAL
P3 – YWCA, YMCA, YWHA, YMHA, PAL

Mineral Descaling Models:
6" Main Water Pipe: S250
6" Main Hot Water Pipe: S150
4" Cooling / Support Equipment: S50
2" Pool: S50
(supply and return)

Installation Considerations:
Using multiple descalers in various parts of this type of community building where water demands are higher is a better descaling and energy saving plan than relying on 1-3 significantly larger models to accomplish the same goal.

P4 – Beach Club
P4 – Beach Club

Mineral Descaling Models:
4" Main Water Pipe: S100
4" Main Hot Water Pipe: S100
4" Pool Pipes: S100
2" Spa Pipes: S25
2" Equipment / Cooling: S25

Installation Considerations:
This installation plan is to maximize the descaling effect to dramatically improve energy savings in the shortest period, extend descaling impacts in showering facilities, and extend pool and spa filter lifespans.
• Return On Investment
• Pool and Spa
P5 – Community Center
P5 – Community Center

Mineral Descaling Models:
6" Main Water Pipe: S150
2" Hot Water Pipes: S10
(main pipe for each showering facility)
3½" Cooling / Equipment Pipes: S50
(supply and return)

Installation Considerations:
If it is possible to access the hot water pipes near showing facilities, smaller mineral descalers can be installed to help keep these areas cleaner with less chemical used to achieve the same result.

• Energy Efficiency Studies
• Sport Complex
A0 Cape Cod
P6 – Amusement Place, Bath House, Boat House

Mineral Descaling Models:
Installation plan will vary greatly between in this building classification.

Installation Considerations:
Amusement Place: 2” Main Water Pipe: V5000- positioned in multiple locations

Boat House: ¾” Pipe: V3000

Bath House: Water demands are extensive- spas, showering, hot pools, etc. Contact  us so we can learn more about how your facility uses water, water filtration equipment, GPM water flows, etc.

• Pool and Spa



A0 Cape Cod
P7 – Museum

Mineral Descaling Models:
6" Main Water Pipe: S250
(multiple locations)
4" Cooling Operations: S100
(multiple locations)
4" Building Equipment: S100
(multiple locations)

Installation Considerations:
Typically, museums occupy a large square footage. Although their water demands are not as intensive as high-rise apartments, cooling and other support equipment will need to be given close attention.
• Energy Efficiency Studies
• Return On Investment
• Cooling Towers
A0 Cape Cod
P8 – Library

Mineral Descaling Models:
4" Main Water Pipe: S100
(2-3 possible locations)
2" Cooling/ Equipment: S25

Installation Considerations:
Supporting the library cooling operation system and other equipment would be the primary focus. Descaling general piping network would involve using 1-3 descaling units; depending on total square foot and stories.
• Energy Efficiency Studies
• Return On Investment
• Cooling Towers
A0 Cape Cod
P9 – Miscellaneous Indoor Public Assembly

Mineral Descaling Models:
8" Main Water Pipe: S250
4" Secondary Pipes: S100
(1 descler per level)
4" Main Hot Water Pipe: S100
4" Heating Exchanger: S50
4" Cooling Tower: S50

Installation Considerations:
Contact us so we may track your building’s water pipe  network and supported equipment for the best installation strategy.
