Pure water is essential for manufacturing operations. It cools, cleans, and can be counted on to run pure and steady - unless it becomes contaminated with dirt and other pollutants, in which case it can harm the  system, increase the friction losses and induce erosion corrosion & wasting energy by increasing the demand for a higher flow rate to offset the lost capacity due to scaling,lowering the thermal efficiency of the system and even impair the quality of the products being made.

Water filtration is one of the most effective and least expensive ways to solve equipment fouling and scaling problems caused by dirty water. Heat exchangers, molds, pipes, tubing, sensors, monitors, and other parts become fouled when dirt particles in the water settle out on warm surfaces. Calcium and magnesium are the bonding elements that cement the dirt onto the equipment.
