Hard water is a silent, costly menace. It corrodes your pipes, shortens the life of expensive appliances, and leaves unsightly, stubborn scale wherever water touches. For decades, the primary solution involved complicated, chemical-heavy water softeners requiring constant salt refills and regular, expensive maintenance. IGS Water Solutions, however, has ushered in a revolution with the IGS Water Conditioner—a system designed to deliver superior water quality with none of the traditional hassles.
This technology is available 24/7, providing an effective, safe, and incredibly cheap solution that eliminates the need for any chemicals, fuel, salts, care, refills, or other recurring charges. It’s an investment built to last, with many units expected to operate for 20 or more years under normal conditions, offering true set-it-and-forget-it water treatment. This is not just a temporary fix; it’s a permanent solution that fixes the problem of hard water at its source.
Unmatched Benefits for Every Home
The immediate advantages of installing an IGS Water Conditioner are felt across your entire home. By actively treating the minerals in the water, the system prevents the damaging buildup of scale on vital household items. Think about your new steam oven, dishwasher, or refrigerator; these high-value appliances are especially susceptible to scale damage, but the IGS Conditioner extends their operational lifespan significantly by ensuring they only process conditioned water. Beyond protecting your equipment, the system also guards your home’s infrastructure by preventing harsh water damage to your internal plumbing and pipes.
The benefits extend directly to your personal comfort and well-being. Once installed, users often report that their hair and skin feel noticeably softer after showering, transforming an everyday necessity into a revitalizing experience. Whether you’re installing the compact Water Conditioner Shower in a residential bathroom, a caravan, or an RV, the improved water quality is instantly apparent. The range of products—from the small C5 model to the robust C100—ensures there is a perfect fit for any residential need, from washing machines to swimming pools.
Scaling Up: Commercial and Industrial Power
While the home benefits are compelling, the IGS Water Conditioner truly shines in demanding commercial and industrial environments. In agricultural settings, the system treats hard bore or well water before it is pumped into holding dams, protecting the health of livestock and farms. For major operations like drill rigs, using conditioned water is critical to remove rock efficiently without risking costly damage to the rig itself.
The technology is particularly transformative for Cooling Towers. Scale buildup is one of the most destructive forces in cooling tower operation, leading to massive inefficiencies and maintenance costs. The IGS Conditioner dramatically reduces scale buildup on the cooling tower fill and protects the basin and all downstream equipment. By keeping cooling tower water safe, clean, and clear, it helps operators save water and money, improves overall water and air quality, and mitigates significant health and safety risks.
The Side Stream Advantage: Total Cooling Tower Optimization
For large-scale industrial water treatment, IGS offers a sophisticated Side Stream Setup. This auxiliary system is installed alongside the cooling tower, using its own recirculating pump to efficiently treat water without requiring modifications to the primary system. This is a critical feature for large towers utilizing 10–12-inch piping.
The setup, which typically includes a pump, the IGS Conditioner, and a static mixer, provides both basic and advanced functions. The basic system effectively softens the water and crucially allows for chemical injection into a turbulent mixing chamber. The static mixer ensures thorough mixing, which continues with every recirculation. This process significantly mitigates biofilm and reduces the habitat for Legionella growth, making the cooling tower environment safer.
For an advanced system setup, additional components are added to perform all basic functions while also removing debris from the water. For clients operating above 1000 PPM of Total Dissolved Solids, the system can even be integrated with a freshwater chlorine generator that uses the concentrated mineral salts in the basin water to produce chlorine, further enhancing cleanliness. The ultimate result for businesses utilizing this system is profound: a guaranteed reduction in unscheduled downtime, cleaning, maintenance, parts, and equipment costs by an impressive 30% to 50%.
In short, the IGS Water Conditioner line represents a paradigm shift away from archaic water softening methods. It is an enduring, chemical-free investment that protects both your smallest appliance and your largest industrial plant, promising cleaner water, lower costs, and complete peace of mind.
