Say goodbye to costly mineral deposits and scale buildup with the DU8 Inline Scale Inhibitor. Designed specifically for mineral tank accessories and parts, this compact device offers a reliable and efficient solution to protect your water treatment system. With its optimal 1.05" distribution size and 8 gallons per minute flow capacity, the DU8 ensures smooth operation and extends the life of your equipment.
Key Benefits
- Prevents scale formation inside pipes and tanks, reducing maintenance needs
- Improves water flow efficiency by inhibiting mineral buildup
- Compact design fits seamlessly into existing mineral tank setups without extra space
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance under continuous use
- Easy to install inline, minimizing downtime and service interruptions
- Compatible with a wide range of water softener and filtration systems
How It Works
The DU8 Inline Scale Inhibitor functions by altering the crystallization process of minerals dissolved in your water. As water passes through this device, the inhibitor disrupts scale-forming compounds, preventing them from adhering to the surfaces inside your pipes and mineral tanks. This process helps maintain optimal flow rates and reduces the frequency of cleaning or replacing system components.
Installed directly inline, it treats water at a flow rate up to 8 gallons per minute, making it suitable for residential and light commercial water softener systems. The 1.05-inch distribution diameter ensures it integrates smoothly with standard piping sizes common in mineral tank accessories and parts.
What to Expect
After installing the DU8, you will notice reduced mineral deposits forming on your system components within days. The water flow remains consistent, and you avoid the common slowdowns caused by scale buildup. Over the first few weeks, your system experiences improved efficiency and less strain, contributing to longer equipment life.
With proper installation, this scale inhibitor requires minimal maintenance and delivers reliable, ongoing protection. Periodic checks during routine system servicing will ensure it continues to operate at peak performance.
