Summary
Product identification
PCC Series Hexametaphosphate Crystal Cartridges
- Hexametaphosphate Crystals help prevent Lime and Scale deposits.
- Effective for treating corrosion and iron problems.
- Three unique designs to fit multiple applications (PCC-106, PCC212, PCC218 mentioned, plus PCC-1).
- Variety of media volumes and flow rates.
- Manufactured with all FDA grade materials.
- Food-grade hexametaphosphate that dissolves slowly in water to inhibit scale and rust build-up.
- Available in four feeder sizes with variable volumes of phosphate crystals.
- Recommended for use with ice machines, coffee and vending machines, food service equipment, water heaters, air conditioning equipment, and many other types of water processing equipment.
Operating limits
- Temperature Rating: 40–100ºF (4.4–37.8ºC)
Cautions & Warnings:
- Eye irritant. Contains sodium calcium hexametaphosphate. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes, get medical attention. Keep out of reach of children.
- For drinking water applications, do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
- PCC212 and PCC218 cartridges are not recommended for main line water applications with flow rates exceeding 3.0 gpm (11.4 lpm).
- With steamers, the water should be flushed daily.
- Do not use this cartridge on water that will be carbonated.
Feed water
- Scale control: Maximum hardness 15 gpg. Hardness particles are kept separated to prevent precipitation and deposit formation when heated.
- Corrosion control: A protective coating is formed on all metal surfaces. Effective for a pH range of 6.5 – 9.0.
- Iron control: Dissolved iron, up to 1 ppm, is kept suspended in solution (sequestered) to prevent precipitation, staining, and discoloration.
