Scale Net™ Information
The flow thru the Scale Net™ system is upward. Therefore, the inlet and outlet connections are
opposite of traditional water treatment equipment.
The flow rate must not exceed the maximum specified flow rate of the system. A flow control devise
will be required for applications where flow rates may exceed the maximum specified flow rate.
