Polyphosphate Ball
Aquavow Polyphosphate Antiscalant Balls
Product Description
Polyphosphate antiscalant balls are food-grade water treatment media designed to prevent scale formation and corrosion in appliances and water systems. They release trace amounts of polyphosphate ions gradually, providing long-lasting protection for both household and commercial equipment.
Key Features:
Food-grade polyphosphate (NSF Certified)
Transparent spherical balls
Odorless and non-toxic
Slow-release, long-lasting protection
Product Applications & Benefits
Prevents limescale buildup: caused by calcium and magnesium ions.
Protects appliances: such as heating elements, pipes, and valves from corrosion.
Extends service life: of coffee machines, water dispensers, ice makers, boilers, and dishwashers.
Maintains efficiency: by keeping water flow paths clean.
Cost-effective & easy to maintain: simply replace or refill when consumed.
How It Works
Gradual Dissolution: Balls dissolve slowly in flowing water, releasing polyphosphate at a controlled rate.
Sequestration: Polyphosphate binds to calcium and magnesium ions, preventing scale formation.
Film Formation: Forms a thin protective layer on metal surfaces to reduce corrosion risks.
Controlled Release: Spherical shape ensures stable dissolution and long-term effectiveness.
Representative Chemical Reactions:
Na2[Na4(PO3)6] + CaX → Na2[Na2Ca(PO3)6] + NaX
Na2[Na2Ca(PO3)6] + CaX → Na2[Ca2(PO3)6] + Na2X (soluble complex)
Fe(OH)2 + Na2[Ca2(PO3)6] → FeCa2(PO3)6 + NaOH (Insoluble membrane)
(Magnesium ions react the same as calcium ions)
