Help with why I'm getting scale build up

[davegillfishing]

The sapphire 570ss has 550 hrs on it and it's already loaded with scale

I run ro/di water

Makes no sense to me

The other trucks went 4000 hrs before needing a descale

Would huge heat cause this?

Other trucks ran at 220-240
This truck runs 260-280

Any ideas?

Should have got a Kinetico.

 

[davegillfishing]

How would that solve a water scale problem lol

Jim Martin is thinking bad water softener so it's getting checked today

Makes sense as that's really the only thing it could be

That would be my guess.

The extreme heat is breaking down either your water or your chems or both.

Did you switch chems to something that can't take the heat and is falling out?

Agreed. You may simply be reaching your chemicals cloud point.

No chems run through my system at all
No rinse at all just ro water

everything on the machine is a closed loop system....when you start vaporizing your chemicals.........that's outside your machine....your only running a rinse and most the time it is not ran threw the entire system...

I have worked on closed loop system boilers that get hotter then any of our machines...and the only thing that has any effect on them is the water...softener is the best place to start.............

Don't you have test paper? You can spend money on an expensive tester or buy the paper

water softener smoked...fixed by morning and replacement filters for ro system and 3 new membranes installed fun fun

 

[dgardner]

A TDS meter is like 30 bucks. Get one and test your water once a week or so. You'll catch a runaway filter before it can do much damage...

 

[davegillfishing]

have a tds built into the filter system..just so used to water being perfect dont use it often...guess taken for granted its clean..
