Antiscalant Balls for Hard Water - Siliphos | Sodium Phosphate Beads

Sodium phosphate beads, often called Siliphos or polyphosphate beads, are slow-dissolving spheres used in water treatment to prevent hard water scale, corrosion, and iron discoloration in pipes and appliances. These beads work by sequestering minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, forming protective coatings on metal surfaces, and extending the life of water systems like RO filters, water heaters, and whole-house systems. 

Key Functions & Benefits:

· Scale Prevention: Inhibits mineral deposits (scale) from forming in pipes, coffee makers, washing machines, and water heaters.

· Corrosion Inhibition: Creates a protective film on metal surfaces, preventing rust and corrosion.

· Iron Control: Sequests dissolved iron, preventing "brown" water and stains on fixtures.

· Improved Water Clarity: Maintains water clarity by preventing mineral precipitation. 

How They're Used:

· Placed in filter housings (often for RO systems, whole-house filters, or aquarium filters).

· They slowly dissolve, releasing phosphates that treat the water as it passes through.

· Require minimal maintenance, needing replacement every few months to a year depending on usage. 

Examples of Products:

· Siliphos/SLO-PHOS: Common brand names for these sodium polyphosphate beads.

· Brio Anti-Scale Filter: A whole-house filter cartridge containing these beads.
