The Selco Clearwater units do this through multiple oscillating frequencies which modify the molecular structure of the minerals that would normally form scale.

They stay in the water, but are microscopically small.

It comes away in larger pieces and flows with the water through the pipes in the normal way. Settling may occur in the bottom of hot water heaters but will flake into smaller pieces and be flushed out without difficulty.

The average water system can be descaled in just 12 weeks. The first signs are when the water feels silkier. Many customers report softer skin and shinier hair. Many also notice that their skin is not itchy from eczema and clothes will wash better . Scale starts to soften and fall off toilet cisterns and kettle elements. Scale on taps and shower heads will soften and can easily be scraped away. This limescale will not reform. There should be a progressive increase in hot water temperature and improvement in water flow.

After fitting, apart from occasionally checking to ensure the lights are still on, nothing needs to be done. The Selco Clearwater units are designed to run trouble free and maintenance free indefinitely and carry a three year warranty. Please fill in warranty and email back to Selco Clearwater.

Surge protectors are compulsory but in the use of generators in rural areas ,which may have power surges that affect the life of the unit ,this is not covered in the warranty.

The Selco Clearwater is best fitted to the water supply to your house, or business before it divides into its various services. You will need to supply a power point for the plug-in transformer. Like all electronic equipment this unit should be protected from the weather, damp, excess heat and cold, and away from direct sunlight.

The Selco Clearwater units now have prewound (patented) pipes of varying diameter and length where the transmission of the EMF Electromagnetic Field occurs.

It is not dangerous but a proprietary sine wave programme ( like a sound wave ).

It is connected to our controller which requires a power outlet to transmit the Signals.

These will vary according to power needs and water hardness.

The length and diameter of the inserted pipe will relate to your pipe and water hardness.(see chart comparing units)

Water treated by a Selco Clearwater unit can be regarded as soft. Far less shampoo, soap or detergent will be needed. In industry the chemicals can be changed to leave out the de-scaling component with considerable cost savings.

The Selco Clearwater unit is the answer to problems of pollution in our waterways caused by excessive use of chemical water treatment. Selco Clearwater uses no chemicals and has low energy consumption.

No, in fact it saves you money.

Running costs of the computerized water conditioner are minimal and should cost less than $5 – $10 (Rs.450 - Rs.900) per year. There will be long term savings in the cost of heating hot water, descaling of elements and dishwashers and replacement and repair costs of appliances.

These require backflushing , and endless supplies of salt to regenerate the resin, which leaves harmful sodium deposits as a by product.

In USA these units will be phased out.

The Selco Clearwater units are selected based on a factor of pipe size, water hardness and flow. If the water is very hard we may use an inline prewound pipe which has a larger.

The Selco Clearwater Softwater can be used on 3/4″ pipes Digital 40-60mm depending on application), C9EM80 up to 80mm, C9EM100 up to 100mm, and C9EM200 for pipes up to 200mm.

Please consult Technical staff at Selco Clearwater for best recommendation.

It is always best to treat the pipe coming out of the tank preferably at the point where it enters the building as there is usually a power supply and shelter from the weather.

In agricultural situations where the water is used for stock feed or irrigation there may only be a power supply and shelter at the bore pump. When fitting the Selco Clearwater system here, ensure prewound pipe is one metre away from the pump motor or any other electromagnetic field.

When stored in a tank, the Selco Clearwater treated water will remain in a charged state for seven days. If the tank water contents are constantly being used there is no loss of treatment. The Selco Clearwater unit will, however, break down all the sludge and scale that may have accumulated in the tank over the years and drop it in lumps on the bottom before progressively breaking it down into tiny sub 4 micron particles over a period of time. After a few months of treatment it is advisable to remove all this scale and sludge to gain the maximum water softening, descaling, water clarity, health and growing benefits from the Selco Clearwater system.

Many growers put a pump and recirculating Selco Clearwater treatment through tank.

The Selco Clearwater system is effective on all pipes but the optimum results are achieved on PVC or poly pipes, incurring the least interference for the sine wave signal creating the electromagnetic field. However we do not recommend using Selco Clearwater with any corroded or fibro cement pipes. This is because Selco Clearwater is a very efficient scale removal system and as fibro cement pipes contain asbestos particles, there is a risk of taking these back into the flow, once all the scale has been removed.

In old or very corroded pipes, bores, tanks and equipment, it is often the scale deposits that are keeping them watertight and once this is removed by the Selco Clearwater system, leaks may occur. It is important to take this into account and read the warranty carefully as Selco Clearwater will not accept any responsibility for leaks or any associated damage caused in this way.

Selco Clearwater softens water by changing large mineral crystals into tiny mineral particles which have had their ability to bond with themselves or minerals neutralised. It is the tiny particle size and absence of crystals that makes the water soft. In detergents it is the job of enzymes to bind up large crystals before the detergent can lather. As there are no longer any crystals in the treated flow there is very little for the enzymes to bind up so soaps shampoos lather a lot more easily.

Crystals, in molecular terms, are very large structures and have all the free bonds necessary to combine with other minerals or react with other elements to form complex chemical structures. They are in fact, nature’s little batteries and are the primary cause of itchy skin. Crystals also bond easily to any surface and become the breeding ground for fungal moulds which cause the more severe skin conditions. This why people have more skin irritations in hard water areas.

It is now known that mould needs crystal size structures to form on and one of the first visible effects of the Selco Clearwater treatment is the disappearance of mould from tiles and other bathroom surfaces. The tiny (sub 4 micron) particles are too small for most fungal formations. As Selco Clearwater is also removing all the scale from the tiles, shower screens and other bathroom surfaces there is a progressive reduction in mould and as it is the scale that traps all the dirt, surfaces become easier to clean and start to shine again. This translates into direct hygiene benefits as much bacterial breeding ground has been removed.

Other benefits include:

• Better washing results in the laundry. Clothes feel soft without using fabric softeners as the tiny particles easily pass through fabric weaves and there are no more crystals to trap the dirt.
• Better dishwashing results. Cutlery and glassware no longer left with white marks.
• Tiles and stainless steel surfaces progressively brighten up and regain their original shine.

It is important to note that descaling only occurs on equipment or surfaces which have prolonged contact with Selco Clearwater treated water. It is also important that any removed scale has an opportunity to be flushed away. In appliances such as kettles, existing scale is quickly broken down but soft white powdery calcium still forms on the elements for a day or so before falling off. This is because the calcium is still in the water in tiny particle form and as the water boils away the calcium is left behind in the kettle where there is no flowing water to flush it away. To avoid this build up refill the kettle with treated water after each boiling.

We make this claim based on the total environmental impact of a product, including:

• Energy consumed and pollution caused in the manufacturing process.
• Energy consumption and pollution caused by operating the units.
• Overall impact on the environment.
• Our units consume less than $5 (Rs.450) energy per year.

All other types of water treatment, including conventional water softeners and reverse osmosis systems, have much larger manufacturing energy costs with attendant environmental and running costs when in operation. Even filters have to be disposed of with concentrations of the minerals that we are anxious to remove from our water supplies.

These figures seem insignificant when compared to the environmental savings which result from the ability of Selco Clearwater to treat commercial flows of water with high mineral content and changing them into a supplies that have all the benefits of soft water and not only prevent scale from forming but progressively descale all pipes, boilers, water heaters, irrigation systems, laundries, kitchen equipment. This is achieved without using chemicals or taking equipment out of service. By eliminating acid descaling and chemical treatment from all these operations, huge volumes of chemicals are prevented from entering our soils, rivers and drainage systems.

Further savings are made by eliminating the harmful sodium deposits left by conventional water softeners as a by product of the their operation. There are also further energy savings resulting from the scale removal from all water heating equipment which add up to a reduction of fuel consumption of around 20% (limescale is a great insulator).

As the treated flow assumes all the properties of soft water (due to the conversion of large crystals into sub 4 micron particles), much less detergent is required and fabric softeners are no longer a necessity. Overall the potential for removing or reducing chemicals from our daily life is so great that substantial and sustainable benefits to our environment can be brought within reach whilst we simultaneously enjoy the financial benefits of the most cost-effective water treatment available.

Last, but not least, recent tests have proved that plants irrigated with Selco Clearwater treated water show significant growth improvements due to the minerals, particularly calcium, being made into a tiny particle form easily taken up and translocated throughout the plants. The increased calcium levels throughout the plant give a range of growth and health improvements including, bigger plants with longer shelf life, better taste, minimal growing problems and greater resistance to disease. If we can grow plants this good from water supplies that would normally cause growing problems then we can probably reduce the use some of the chemicals that are currently used to solve these problems and which ultimately end up in the soil or in our food.

Selco Clearwater – Good for the environment? We rest our case!

The Selco Clearwater should be installed inline by a qualified plumber to cover warranty

The Selco Clearwater sytem is very easy to install. All that is required is a sheltered position close to the water flow to be treated, with 500mm to 800mm of exposed pipe on which to wind the antennae. An adjacent 240v AC power supply is required for the plug-in transformer. Care should be taken to place the antennae windings 1 metre away from electric motors or other strong electromagnetic fields. It takes less than 20 minutes to complete the installation which usually requires no plumbing or any interruption to the water supply. The whole system runs maintenance-free for less than $10 (Rs.900)a year.

Unlike other systems, Selco Clearwater will not interfere with, or create a loss in, the flow and pressure. In fact, in some situations of heavy mineralised water we enlarge the section of pipe where the Selco Clearwater windings are situated to reduce the velocity, ensuring the water has an adequate treatment time period which slightly decreases unwanted friction loss.
