A less visible but more serious problem is build-up of lime and other minerals on plumbing fixtures and appliances that use water—especially water heaters. This build-up, or scale, can result in damage to fixtures and appliances, shortening their useful life. If your water is hard, Aqua-Pure® AP430SS Scale Inhibition System may provide economical, efficient protection.For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals.
