Control scale, corrosion and biofouling with one integrated media
FILTERSORB® SCB is a factory-prepared water-treatment media combining three Watch Water® technologies for broader protection of plumbing, equipment and connected water systems.
Developed by Watch Water® GmbH in Mannheim, FILTERSORB® SCB combines FILTERSORB® SP3 for salt-free scale prevention, CorrTrapp® for corrosion-control support and AQUARedox® for redox-based contaminant and biofouling management. The ready-to-use formulation is designed for continuous upflow operation without salt regeneration, chemical dosing, routine backwashing or an electrical control valve. It can be applied in residential, commercial, municipal and industrial systems using city water, well water, hot water and selected process-water sources[cite: 3].
Three technologies. One media. Complete system protection[cite: 3].
75% scale prevention. 12.5% corrosion control. 12.5% redox protection[cite: 3].
One integrated media
for multiple water systems
FILTERSORB® SCB is designed for applications requiring simultaneous scale prevention, corrosion-control support and management of conditions that contribute to biofouling[cite: 3].
Residential POU and POE Systems
Suitable for point-of-use and whole-house systems serving cold- and hot-water installations[cite: 3].
Hotels and Commercial Buildings
Protects plumbing, water heaters and connected equipment in hotels, colleges, universities and multistorey buildings[cite: 3].
Municipal Water Systems
Supports scale, corrosion and biofouling management in appropriately designed municipal installations[cite: 3].
Industrial Process Water
Suitable for industrial water systems, manufacturing equipment and process-water applications[cite: 3].
Heating and Cooling Water
Helps protect heating systems, cooling equipment and heat exchangers from mineral deposits and corrosion[cite: 3].
UF and RO Pretreatment
Can be used as feedwater conditioning before ultrafiltration and reverse-osmosis systems, subject to complete water analysis[cite: 3].
Four system benefits working together in one media
Salt-Free Nucleation Assisted Crystallization
The SP3 component transforms carbonate hardness into stable calcium-carbonate microcrystals with a reduced tendency to form deposits on plumbing and equipment[cite: 3].
Protection for Pipes and Connected Equipment
The magnesium-based CorrTrapp® component is designed to support less aggressive water conditions and reduce corrosion risk in suitable applications[cite: 3].
Redox-Based Surface and Water Protection
Zinc-coated and copper-coated activated-carbon components create electrochemical redox conditions intended to support organic-contaminant reduction and biofouling management[cite: 3].
No Salt Regeneration or Brine Wastewater
The recommended upflow system requires no salt, routine regeneration, electrical valve head or conventional regeneration wastewater[cite: 3].
Science &
Technology
FILTERSORB® SCB combines complementary physical, mineral and electrochemical processes in one factory-prepared media formulation[cite: 3].
- Nucleation Assisted Crystallization – FILTERSORB® SP3 provides active nucleation sites that transform dissolved carbonate hardness into stable calcium-carbonate microcrystals[cite: 3].
- Magnesium-Based Corrosion Control – CorrTrapp® is designed to influence the treated-water environment in a manner that supports corrosion protection for pipes and connected equipment[cite: 3].
- Electrochemical Redox Activity – AQUARedox® combines zinc-coated and copper-coated activated carbon to create electrochemical oxidation-reduction conditions at the media surface[cite: 3].
- Continuous Upflow Contact – Upflow operation supports water distribution and contact across the mixed-media bed without conventional regeneration backwashing[cite: 3].
