OPERATION TIMETABLE FOR THE CLEARWAVE™
The following timetable of events should be used to evaluate the operation of the ClearWave™ during the 180-day
customer satisfaction period. This is the best way to evaluate the ClearWave™ operation and benefits the ClearWave™
technology can provide for you and your home. Please note testing for changes in hardness with current testing practices
will not show you if the ClearWave™ is working. The current practice of determining water hardness is the measurement
of the concentration of calcium and magnesium in the water. Since the ClearWave™ does not remove any calcium or
magnesium ions from the water, testing the water before and after the installation of the ClearWave™ will not show any
change.
DAY 1: .............................. The ClearWave™ action immediately starts to loosen existing scale in both the hot and cold
water systems. One should find soap lathers more easily.
DAY 5 and onwards: ........ Scale begins to break down and come off water heater elements (immersion heaters) and
tanks. Most particles are microscopic and will flow through your water system, but some small
particles may be seen in the water coming from the hot water tap.
DAY 10 to 16: ................... It should be noticeably easier to wipe clean ceramic, plastic, glass, and metal surfaces. By now
the quantity of bath soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, and laundry softening agents can be
reduced. Scale should have loosened on taps, showerheads and frequently used appliances
that boil water (such as coffee makers).
DAY 16 and onwards: ...... Scale should continue to loosen from taps, showerheads, and pipes. With the continuing break
down and reduction of scale from the heating surfaces of water heaters, water should heat up
quicker using less energy to achieve the desired temperature.
After 1 to 2 months: .......... Any scaly crust or stains in toilets or under taps should be significantly reduced. No new stains
or crust should form. Mold that attaches to scale will begin to disappear from shower curtains
and once cleaned should not reappear. Depending on the water hardness in the area, the full
effects can take up to 12 weeks, especially if the system has been heavily scaled up over many
years.
NOTES:
1) If iron is present in the water supply, use an iron filter prior to the ClearWave™.
2) Depending on water hardness or water make-up, two CW-HD-1 units may be required.
3) The CW-HD-1 can be used on water up to 25 grains of hardness. If over 25 grains, it can be used to aid the
operation of a water softener.
