Nelsen Scale Prevention System

For large households with serious water demand, the Nelsen Scale Prevention System, model NSPS-1252, delivers high-capacity, salt-free scale protection for the whole home. Supplied by Water Softener Plus, this system uses Filtersorb SP3 media to neutralize the scaling potential of hard water without the salt, the slippery feel, or the wastewater associated with a conventional ion-exchange softener.

The Science Behind the System

The technology at work is template-assisted crystallization. Instead of removing calcium and magnesium from the water, Filtersorb SP3 converts them into stable, microscopic crystals that pass through your plumbing without adhering to pipes, water heaters, and fixtures as scale. You enjoy all the benefits of scale prevention, including longer appliance life and better efficiency, while keeping the healthy natural minerals in your water, all with no electricity to run and no brine to discharge.

• Filtersorb SP3 media in a high-capacity 12" x 52" class tank
• Enpress mineral tank with Vortech bottom distribution plate
• C-Series in/out head and C-Series bypass
• 1" NPT PVC plumbing adapters for straightforward plumbing
• 20" Big Blue housing with GAC pre-filter
• Mounting bracket included

This model steps up to a larger 20" Big Blue housing with a granular activated carbon pre-filter, giving you increased chlorine, taste, and sediment reduction capacity along with longer intervals between pre-filter changes, a welcome convenience in a high-demand home. The Enpress mineral tank's Vortech bottom distribution plate promotes even, efficient flow through the generous media bed for consistent performance and minimal pressure loss. Built to keep pace with the demands of a large home where water runs hard throughout the day, the Nelsen NSPS-1252 pairs robust whole-house scale protection with the low-maintenance, eco-conscious operation that makes salt-free conditioning so appealing. It's a capable solution for protecting a big home's plumbing and appliances.

In a large, high-demand home, the appeal of salt-free conditioning grows: there is no sodium added to the water, no brine to burden a septic system, and no recurring task of buying and hauling salt for a thirsty softener. The system runs with no electricity and no wastewater, asking only for occasional pre-filter service. Its high-capacity tank and larger 20-inch pre-filter housing are sized to keep pace with heavy, all-day water use. For protecting the plumbing and appliances of a big home the clean, low-maintenance way, the NSPS-1252 from Water Softener Plus is a strong, capable performer.
