Lime or salts are found in almost every water in their dissolved forms. Depending on the amount of lime, the dissolved carbonic acid and on the temperature of the water the minerals precipitate and start to crystallize. In other words it deposits on surface areas. At home this is simply annoying in most cases, but this phenomenon can cause substantial problems for technical applications. The deposits reduce heat transfer in heat exchangers and lower the efficiency of the heating installation/cooling system quite significantly. Increasing pressure losses and decreasing flow rates are other symptoms associated with the same problem. In many cases the water is processed chemically in order to avoid such deposits. But sometimes, particularly if great water quantities are concerned, this proves to be either technically or economically impossible.

In this field several thousands of industrial installations prove how successful and reliable Merus was applied to stabilize lime. Experiences with water temperatures above 150°C in pressure lines or water hardness far beyond 50° dH show how powerful Merus is. After having started to use Merus, many customers don’t have to use the bigger part of the chemical products used before anymore at all. Examples would be a dishwasher working without salt or big cooling loops which now have to be cleaned only once a year instead of every six weeks.
