Claim 5:
6. A method for preventing or reducing scale formation, the method comprising:
providing a system comprising a fluid in circulation, wherein the fluid comprises a polymer composition of claim 1;
measuring with an analytical technique an amount of the first monomer in the system or the fluid to determine an amount of the polymer composition in the system or the fluid, wherein the measuring is performed periodically or continuously; and
optionally (i) adding an additional amount of the polymer composition to the system or the fluid if the amount of the polymer composition in the system or the fluid is less than a predetermined value, or (ii) removing a portion of the polymer composition from the system or the fluid if the amount of the polymer composition in the system or the fluid is greater than the predetermined value.
