2. What is the Scale Free System? Industry leading, patented
technology Green" alternative to water treatment that prevents and
reverses scale formation, halts corrosion and prevents
microbiological growth for all heat transfer systems without the
use of chemicals Best non-chemical water treatment system available
on the market today utilizing system neutralization technology.
Reduces water usage, energy consumption and operating costs while
eliminating chemicals from your facility Unlike all other
non-chemical systems, SFS does NOT attempt to change or alter water
chemistry in any way, rather SFS treats and protects your equipment
History of Scale Free Systems, Inc. Established 15 years ago in St.

treatment
3. Threats to Your Bottom Line Scale Bacteria Corrosion Scale,
Bacteria & Corrosion will Destroy Your Equipmentleading to
costly capital budget expenditures for equipment replacement. Scale
is the biggest problem associated with the efficient and
cost-effective operation of your heat exchange equipment. Studies
have shown that as little as an of scale formation on heat transfer
surfaces can lead up to a 15% increase in energy consumption. Scale
60% Bacteria 20% Corrosion 10% Filtration 10%
4. Protect Your Bottom Line SFS neutralizes the pipes and
equipment shell to the same polarity as the ions in the water.
Engineered application pulls the dynamic electrical energy out of
the water, through a control panel that regulates and controls the
energy flow and ultimately out to an independent grounding system.
Reverse Scale Formation Prevent Bacteria Growth SFS utilizes
Copper-Silver Ionization for microbial control; a dispersive
process that introduces stable, long-lived, positively charged
copper and silver ions into the water system to destroy biofilms
and slimes that can harbor harmful bacteria. Safe ionic
concentration levels are maintained by regular monitoring of the
water in the system, offering additional long-term residual
protection. Halt Corrosion SFS eliminates the electrical bridge
that starts the harmful corrosion process. By neutralizing
electrical activity, chemical decomposition necessary to produce
free oxygen and free hydrogen in solution (agents responsible for
pitting and corrosion) is eliminated.

7. Microbiological Control COPPER-SILVER IONIZATION is approved
by the US EPA (as per its Safe Water Drinking Act) for biological
treatment of domestic water supplies against infections of
Legionella, E. Coli, Salmonella and a host of other microbes as
well. It is a dispersive process that introduces long-lived,
stable, positively charged copper and silver ions into the water
system. 1- The copper-silver ionization process is provoked by
running DC voltage between the copper and silver electrodes
submerged in water, thereby releasing the positively charged Cu and
Ag ions into the water. 2- Having water flow between the electrodes
carries away the metallic ions into the water system. 3- Once in
the water reservoir, the positively charged copper and silver ions
bind themselves to and attack negatively charged microorganisms
such as Legionella bacteria and commence the biocide process. 4-
Upon contact with these microorganisms, the copper-silver ions
attack in a multiphase process to disrupt the overall cell
metabolism causing cellular lysis (death). Safe ionic concentration
levels are maintained by monitoring the water system and thus offer
additional long-term residual protection.

9. Reuse Blowdown Water and Save! SFS Biological Control is
compliant with EPA standards for drinking water quality set forth
in the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). All blowdown water exiting
the system is compliant with the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU??? SAVE MONEY Sanitary Sewer Water

10. Sustainability: SFS Green Solution Immediately reduce the
environmental footprint of a facility by eliminating toxic water
treatment chemicals. Installing SFS presents a compelling
opportunity to generate operational savings while treating water in
an environmentally friendly manner. PLUS - Use of SFS will also
earn points in the LEED system. Chemical-free discharge water can
be reused for other purposes on site instead of being sent to a
treatment facility. The cycles of concentration will increase
inside the system, saving water and reducing costs. SFS provides a
distinct environmental advantage, while mitigating the risk of
accidental chemical spills, chronic exposure and bioaccumulation of
persistent chemicals in the food chain. CREATING CHEMICAL-FREE
SOLUTIONS FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE WE ALL LIVE
DOWNSTREAM
11. Essential Cooling Tower Treatment Good Tower Treatment
STARTS with: Knowledge of makeup water chemistry and operating
conditions. A treatment system designed to meet scale, biological
and corrosion control. Good conductivity control. Consistent
monitoring and maintenance of the system. Good Tower Treatment ENDS
with: Water and energy savings. Lower facility operating and
maintenance costs. Clean condenser tubes and good heat transfer. No
corrosion of equipment surfaces and piping. Reduced environmental
footprint by eliminating chemicals Reuse Blowdown!
12. Why Should You Consider Non-Chemical Water Treatment?
Cooling system operation represents 12-18% of an industrial
buildings operating costs. Poor water treatment reduces operating
efficiency by as much as 25%. SFS reduces water consumption by
increasing the cycles of concentration through the system over what
a chemical treatment program can achieve. More cycles means less
water consumed! Environmental standards groups such as LEED are
encouraging facility owners to implement changes that positively
impact the environment while protecting the bottom-line. Facility
owners and managers are increasingly aware of the safety and
liability risks/costs associated with the storage and handling of
chemicals on-site. Reduce Energy Costs Conserve Water Protect the
Environment Increase Safety
