<strong>Seccua</strong> AntiCal ®<br />

Key benefits<br />

<strong>Seccua</strong> AntiCal ® is providing these key benefits:<br />

• Hardness removal of up to 20%<br />

• No scaling in pipes, boilers or water-heaters<br />

• Stains from hard water drying onto surfaces can<br />

be easily wiped of<br />

• No regeneration chemicals needed<br />

• No Sodium added to water<br />

• Life-time of media: 5 to 8 years<br />

• Maintenance-free for 5-8 years<br />

How does <strong>Seccua</strong> AntiCal ® work?<br />

Hardness is determined by the concentration of Magnesium<br />

(Mg) and Calcium (Ca) dissolved in water.<br />

A part of the hardness contained in water is typically<br />

„ready-to-scale“ by the time the water reaches a<br />

home’s Point-of-Entry. This is caused by changes in<br />

pressure and temperature, which occur on the way<br />

the water travels from its origin.<br />

And that is what we make use of in <strong>Seccua</strong> AntiCal ® :<br />

It consists of little beads, which are coated with a<br />

crystalline surface-structure, very similar to the one of<br />

hardness-crystals. Scientists have known for a long<br />

time, that ions can hardly resist from „inserting“<br />

themselves into their typical crystal structure, if such<br />

a crystal is near and their energy to remain dissolved<br />

is low.<br />

So when those volatile hardness-ions, which are ready-to-scale,<br />

touch the surface of the <strong>Seccua</strong> AntiCal ®<br />

media, they attach to its crystal-structure within a<br />

couple of seconds and build the foundation for a<br />

sub-microscopic hardness-crystal. As further ions<br />

come close and attach, the little hardness-crystal,<br />

aka seed-crystal, grows further and breaks of at a<br />

size of around 0,01 microns.<br />

Those seed-crystals now drift in the water and whenever<br />

more hardness wants to scale due to changes<br />

in temperature or pressure anywhere in the installation,<br />

it will scale onto those seed-crystals rather then<br />

to other surfaces, like e.g. metal, glass or plastic.<br />

In the end, those seed-crystals,<br />

being still thousands of times<br />

smaller than the diameter of a<br />

hair, get flushed out at point-ofentry.<br />

To provide for easy exchange of<br />

the media, it comes packaged in<br />

h a n d y b a g s , c a l l e d S e c c u a<br />

AroxBag ® , which are loaded into<br />

<strong>Seccua</strong> BioFilter ® housings.<br />
