Polyphosphate Ball
Aquavow Slow-Release Polyphosphate Anti-Scale Balls
Aquavow Slow-Release Polyphosphate Anti-Scale Balls are a proprietary innovation under the Aquavow brand and are currently the only product of their kind in China—and globally—capable of being manufactured in small diameters ranging from 1 to 12 mm.
Designed specifically for residential and commercial water treatment systems, these anti-scale balls effectively inhibit scale and mineral buildup in water heaters, purifiers, coffee machines, dishwashers, and similar equipment, significantly extending equipment lifespan. Testing has shown scale inhibition rates of up to 98%.
High Efficiency: 1 gram can treat approximately 1 ton of water
Long Lifespan: 1 to 2 years depending on water usage and hardness
Broad Compatibility: Easy to install, power-free, and compatible with various devices
How It Works
The polyphosphate is slowly released into the water and reacts with metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron to form soluble complexes or insoluble protective films, effectively preventing the formation of scale deposits.
Representative Chemical Reaction
Na₂[Na₄(PO₃)₆] + CaX → Na₂[Na₂Ca(PO₃)₆] + NaX
(Soluble complex)
Fe(OH)₂ + Na₂[Ca₂(PO₃)₆] → FeCa₂(PO₃)₆ + NaOH
(Insoluble membrane — Magnesium ions react the same as calcium ions)
Aquavow Polyphosphate Balls: Powerful Scale Prevention · Reliable Corrosion Protection · Comprehensive Water Care
💧 Enhanced Water Clarity & Taste
When used in potable water systems, Aquavow polyphosphate antiscalant from our factory Kaidefei Fluid Technology effectively binds with metal ions like iron and manganese, preventing water discoloration, unpleasant taste, and odor. This not only improves the visual and sensory quality of the water, but also ensures it is cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable for consumption.
⚙️ Increased System Efficiency & Energy Savings
In boilers, chillers, and other heat exchange systems, Aquavow slow release siliphos beads prevents scale deposits that can hinder performance. By keeping heat transfer surfaces clean, it helps maintain high thermal efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption and supporting sustainable production practices in industries that rely heavily on water processes.
🔄 Versatile & Widely Compatible
Thanks to its strong chemical stability, Aquavow polyphosphate crystals is compatible with a wide range of water treatment setups and multi-component formulations. Its flexibility makes it suitable for a wide array of applications—from household appliances and central water filtration systems to food processing, where it serves as a sequestrant to enhance product texture, consistency, and shelf life.
🌊 Superior Scale Control & Corrosion Resistance
Aquavow polyphosphate balls are engineered for high-performance scale inhibition and corrosion control, making them ideal for both industrial and municipal water systems. By forming a stable, microscopic protective layer on the inner surfaces of pipes and equipment, the product helps prevent mineral buildup, reduce pipe degradation, and minimize maintenance frequency and costs, significantly extending system longevity.
Chemical Structure and Forms:
Polyphosphates are polymers made up of repeating units of phosphate (PO4) linked together. They can be linear chains or form cyclic (ring) structures. They differ from orthophosphates, which contain only one phosphate group.
Biological Roles:
Energy Storage:Polyphosphates, particularly in the form of ATP and ADP, are vital for energy storage and transfer in cells. Cellular Processes:Polyphosphates are involved in various cellular functions, including gene regulation, protein synthesis, and lipid synthesis. Stress Response:Polyphosphates help cells cope with stress, such as oxidative stress, by acting as chaperones and regulating other stress response pathways. Blood Clotting:Polyphosphates can influence blood clotting and inflammation. Other Roles:They also play roles in bacterial growth, virulence, and biofilm formation.
Applications:
Water Treatment:Polyphosphates are used to control corrosion, scale, and the presence of iron and manganese in water distribution systems. Food Additives:They are used as food additives (labeled as E452) to improve food texture, moisture, and stability, and to reduce food waste. Flame Retardants:Polyphosphates are incorporated into various products, including wood, paper, fabric, and plastic, to act as flame retardants. Fertilizers:Ammonium polyphosphate is used as a source of phosphorus for plant nutrition. Research:Polyphosphates are used in research to study bacterial growth, virulence, and other biological processes.
Types of Polyphosphates：
Linear Polyphosphates: These are chains of phosphate units.Metaphosphates: These are cyclic (ring-shaped) polyphosphates. Polyphosphates in Water Treatment: Corrosion Control:Polyphosphates can form a protective film on the inside of pipes, preventing corrosion of metals like copper, iron, and lead. Scale Control:They can prevent the formation of scale (mineral deposits) in pipes and plumbing fixtures. Iron and Manganese Control:Polyphosphates can sequester (bind to) iron and manganese, preventing them from causing discoloration or staining in the water supply.
