OPERATION TIMETABLE FOR THE CLEARWAVE™ 

The following timetable of events should be used to evaluate the operation of the ClearWave™ during the 
180-day customer satisfaction period.  This is the best way to evaluate the ClearWave™ operation and 
benefits the ClearWave™ technology can provide for you and your home.  Please note testing for 
changes in hardness with current testing practices will not show you if the ClearWave™ is working.  The 
current practice of determining water hardness is the measurement of the concentration of calcium and 
magnesium in the water.  Since the ClearWave™ does not remove any calcium or magnesium ions from 
the water, testing the water before and after the installation of the ClearWave™ will not show any change. 

DAY 1: ........................................ 

The ClearWave™ action immediately starts to loosen existing scale in 

both the hot and cold water systems.  One should find soap lathers more easily. 

DAY 5 and onwards: .................. 

Scale begins to break down and come off water heater elements 

(immersion heaters) and tanks.  Most particles are microscopic and will flow through your water system, 
but some small particles may be seen in the water coming from the hot water tap. 

DAY 10 to 16: ............................. 

It should be noticeably easier to wipe clean ceramic, plastic, glass, and 

metal surfaces.  By now the quantity of bath soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, and laundry softening 
agents can be reduced.  Scale should have loosened on faucet, showerheads and frequently used 
appliances that boil water (such as coffee makers). 

DAY 16 and onwards: ................ 

Scale should continue to loosen from faucet, showerheads, and pipes.  

With the continuing break down and reduction of scale from the heating surfaces of water heaters, water 
should heat up quicker using less energy to achieve the desired temperature.  

After 1 to 2 months: .................... 

Any scaly crust or stains in toilets or under faucet should be significantly 

reduced.  No new stains or crust should form.  Mold that attaches to scale will begin to disappear from 
shower curtains and once cleaned should not reappear.  Depending on the water hardness in the area, 
the full affects can take up to 12 weeks, especially if the system has been heavily scaled up over many 
years.

OTES

: 

1)  If iron is present in the water supply, use an iron filter prior to the ClearWave™. 
2)  Depending on water hardness or water make-up, two CW-HD-2 units may be required. 
3)  The CW-HD-2 can be used on water up to 25 grains of hardness.  If over 25 grains, it can be 

used to aid the operation of a water softener.
