Calcium Deposits Cost Money!

Calcium deposits form on all metallic surfaces. Wherever hot water is involved, deposits occur much faster. Calcium also acts as an insulator, trapping heat, destroying heating elements, clogging pumps, and plugging nozzles in all commercial water applications.

The Soo-Soft™ Digital Water Softener System dissolves hard calcium deposits in the entire plumbing system and prevents their return!

The greatest costs in commercial environments are DOWNTIME and MAINTANENCE.

• Commercial Coffee Machines ($800-$2,200) and cappuccino makers ($2000-$20,000) can have their constant cleaning eliminated as well as having their lives extended for years by the removal calcium deposits.
  
  
• Steam Ovens ($5,000 & up) are notorious for constant maintenance and downtime in hard water conditions. Calcium deposits greatly increase consumption of energy as well as shorten their lifespan.
  
  
• Steam Tables require daily to weekly maintenance in commercial kitchens. The small tubes of heat exchangers clog and surfaces of the tables coat with calcium. This requires constant housekeeping as well as regular maintenance.
  
  
• Water Heaters require regular replacement due to calcium deposits. A ¼ inch scale layer adds 40% to energy costs for a typical water heater. Regular replacement cost can be thousands of dollars.
  
  
• Ice machines require replacement very quickly due to calcium deposits. Replacements costs vary from $3,000 to as much as $10,000.
  
  
• Reverse Osmosis Filters require frequent replacement of membranes from calcium deposits. These costs can add up to thousands of dollars per year in a fast food restaurant
  
  
• Plumbing Systems become clogged with calcium deposits and pipes eventually have to be replaced. Over a period of years these costs can escalate into tens of thousands of dollars. This is in addition to the downtime required to repair the plumbing!
  

Salt Systems Comparisons

• Incomplete Calcium Removal - Salt systems are not efficient. They do not remove all calcium from the water. The remaining hard calcium is left to contaminate the plumbing system and appliances by forming lime scale.
  
  
• Costs - aside from high initial installation cost of salt systems, the salt itself can be expensive as well as labor intensive. The cost of salt can range from $200 per year for a small home to thousands of dollars per year for a car wash or industrial facility. The more water used, the more salt required. The regular maintenance required for salt systems also adds to their overall cost.
  

The Soo-Soft™ Digital Water Softening System costs less than 3¢ per day to operate! Under most situations it pays for itself in as little as 6 months! The additional cost benefits from longer appliance life, reduced plumbing maintenance, and easier housekeeping can be significant.
