Details for M40 A-Master Anti Scale Unit



M40 A-Master Anti Scale Unit
Galvanic Water Treatment

The galvanic water treatment: No external electricity! No magnets! A self-cleaning zinc sacrificial anode system, which guards water pipes and systems against corrosion and lime scale build-up. This is the environmentally acceptable alternative to chemicals for drinking and industrial water systems.

The proven Zinc Sacrificial Anode Technology A-Master

  

Common Plumbing Problems
A-Master patented zinc sacrificial anode can be safely incorporated in any water system.

Customer references covering 14 years of product usage support the efficiency and success of the A-Master in industrial and residential water systems. Ever since it has been proven in protecting boilers, ship hulls and pipelines against corrosion, the galvanic water treatment system has also proven itself as an efficient and inexpensive alternative to using chemicals in protecting (metallic) pipes.

The 35,000 A-Master anode units already in use document the success and customer satisfaction of the galvanic water treatment in industrial, trade and residential buildings.

On location advice and planning is taken care of through a national network of competent business partners in technical and building design, as well as industrial consulting. 		    A-Master takes care of corrosion and lime scale problems.

Corrosion
The reason for the ever increasing huge global demand for iron and copper is not just the construction of new production plants but also the constant necessary replacement of corroded construction parts. Corrosion occurs through the chemical reaction of metallic substances coming into contact with certain chemicals (e.g., chloride, sulphur, oxygen, acids) in the presence of water.

General corrosion in water pipelines is the result of the reaction of metals with oxygen and electrolytes, an electrochemical process, which needs to be slowed down.

Contact corrosion is a result of different metals coming into contact with each other e.g., iron with copper (local element).

Particle induced corrosion is caused by foreign particles in the water pipes. These corrosion-causing particles can occur through any corrosion within the system itself (e.g., in cooling systems, heating systems), as well as being introduced through an external source (e.g., the addition of drinking water)

Lime Scale Deposit
In addition to corrosion problems, high levels of calcium and magnesium ions (the causes of water hardness) can lead to lime scale in pipes. A major cause of lime scale can be a rise in temperature within the system. Other causes can be changes in pH values, carbonic acid levels or even pressure levels.

Corrosion and lime scale deposits are the major factors in creating various common water pipe problems: leaks, clogged pipes and appliances, not to mention brown water, etc.



The Zinc Sacrificial Anode Technology

  

Construction and Operation
One of the most important characteristics of zinc is its ability to prevent corrosion. Using zinc in corrosion protection lengthens the lifespan of steel constructions, vehicles, bridges, buildings, etc.

Zinc has been used, in the form of sacrificial plates, for more than 80 years in the shipping industry to protect ship hulls from corrosion and deposits.

Other sacrificial materials (non-precious metals) have also been used protect hot water boilers. A well known example here is the magnesium anode bar.

    The A-Master is a zinc sacrificial anode system, incorporated into the water circulation system. The zinc anode treats the entire volume of water in the targeted system. The integrated Teflon® turbulence sections are non-stick and with the turbulence effects assure the self-cleaning characteristic of the A-Master. The Teflon® turbulence chambers also create cavitation, this improves the precipitation effects of scale particles. The patented construction of the A-Master assures enduring active performance.



A galvanic element is created (< 1 volt), when the A-Master comes into contact with an electrolyte (water). In this process, the zinc anode (serving as the pre-destined sacrificial target in the treated water system) is sacrificed (dissolved) at a very slow rate due to its patented dry electrical connection. That means that the corrosion only takes place on the anode and not in the pipes nor any of the other installations.

The prevention of lime scale deposits depends upon the effect of the dissolved zinc ions on the crystallization behaviour of the hardness builders. Zinc ions, as crystallization centres, attract the large ion conglomerations. Due to the galvanic treatment, large particles have a lower attachment tendency and minimize the problem of lime deposits in pipes or installations.
