Z-Guard™
Electronic Water Treatment System
Spectra Watermakers Inc. introduces a final solution to the problem of acid
washing and de-scaling chillers, air conditioners and condensers with the
revolutionary Z-GuardT.
Using this proven technology, Spectra now is applying it directly to the intake raw
water to permanently prevent scaling and biological-fouling, the principle
cause of failure in your water circulating equipment. Fouling has been
labeled as unavoidable by many sources. The origin of fouling varies and
can be mineral, biological or a combination of both.
Bio-film is the slick coating or slime found on wetted surfaces produced by many
types of microbes. A thin layer of bio-film usually coats the interior of
piping, strainers, heat exchangers and other equipment when exposed to water.
This bio-film provides both habitat and food supply for a range of bacteria
and scale forming compounds. The Z-GuardT will eliminate conditions
that foster biofouling, scaling and barnacle growth.
How it works
As water enters the reaction chamber it is exposed to a powerful electrostatic
field charging all water molecules in a positive orientation. This positive
charge prevents particulates from bonding to one another, preventing the
formation of sludge, scale and biological fouling. The wetted charged
surfaces form a strong boundary layer preventing particles from attaching.
Bacteria are rendered inactive and unable to absorb nutrition to replicate
into colon- ies. With the Z-GuardT you can eliminate the fouling
and scaling of watermaker membranes, heat ex-changers, chillers and condensers
now and forever.
Convenient
No more hoses, buckets or dangerous chemicals. The inconvenience of having
to apply chemicals to watermaker membranes, heat exchangers, chillers and condensers is gone
forever. Spectra's new environmentally sound technology will maintain
your equipment without the cost and hassles related to conventional maintenance.
Do Not Use Chemicals
Repeated use of chemicals will substantially shorten the usable life of
watermakers, heat exchangers, condensers and chillers. The Z-GuardT
will not allow bio-growth or scaling to attack your system, maintaining
the overall performance of your units while dramatically increasing the
life of the equipment.
Sized to Fit Your Needs
Z-GuardT Systems are available in 7 gallons per minute and 16 gallons
per minute configurations. Please contact your local Spectra distributor
or Spectra's San Rafael factory for higher flow rates or custom applications.
