The Sterling Water Anti-Scale Appliance is the First to Pass the Performance Requirements Set Forth in IGC-91 2005.

Wichita, KS --- As of December 8, 2005, the Sterling Water Anti-Scale Appliance is the first to pass IAPMO’s testing and performance requirements set forth in IGC 91-2005. Please see document below for Test Report.

Now that the performance tests are completed, Sterling Water Systems, LLC is awaiting the toxicity test reports from NSF to complete the requirements of IGC-91 2005. The toxicity report is set to be released January 18, 2005.

To reference IGC-91 2005, sections 7.4 and 7.5, please see below:

“7.4 ORP Test

7.4.1 Obtain one 50 mil sample of potable water containing at least 350 parts per million of Total Dissolved Solids and 15 grains of CaCO3 per gallon and one 50 ml sample of the same water after it has been conditioned by the appliance, which has been installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and operational instructions.

7.4.2 Performance Requirements. Allow the samples to sit undisturbed at room temperature for 4 hours. Measure the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of each sample with an ORP meter. The unconditioned or control sample of water should have a millivolt reading at least 20% higher than the conditioned sample.

7.5 Recirculation Test

7.5.1 Fill a clean holding tank with 100 gallons of potable water containing at least 15 grains of CaCO3 per gallon. Using a pump with a flow capacity of at least 4 gallons per minute, pump such water through the operating appliance followed by a 10 micron pleated sediment filter and return such water to the holding tank. Continue re-circulating such water through the appliance and filter for 10 days.

7.5.2 Performance Requirements. Following 10 days of continuous re-circulation, turn off the pump, remove the sediment filter and allow it to air dry. Once the sediment filter is dry, collect the sediment which has been collected from the filter, place a sample of the sediment in a glass dish and apply a solution of muriatic acid. The sample of sediment shall react to the muriatic acid, indicating the presence of CO3 in the sample.

7.5.3 Concurrent with the test described in Section 7.5.1 in this standard, duplicate the test without the appliance in the recirculation loop. Test any sediment, which may have been collected in the filter. There shall be no reaction to the muriatic acid, indicating an absence of filterable CaCO3.”
