Scale Guard Inserts are a wonderful invention! They drop right into your Jupiter Classic Athena water ionizer's mineral port, eliminating in-line installation of an anti-scaling device. The inserts are easy to use. All you need to do is open the calcium insert cap at the top of your ionizer, remove the clear plastic cap on the Scale Guard Insert basket, place it inside of the calcium cap, and insert it back into your ionizer. Your ionizer is then protected! [Set of 2]
How can I know when to change the inserts? Usually Scale Guard Inserts are replaced every time you change your filters.
The Scale Guard Inserts have a cumulative effect in your ionizer - as long as you change the insert regularly you are protected.
When changing inserts, it's normal to see residual media inside the insert baskets – although the media will not dissolve completely, it will start to lose its effectiveness, so after 6 months you should change it.
Why Don't H2 Water Ionizers Need Scale Guard Inserts?
Each H2 filter already comes with a scale guard insert installed. So when you change your filters you're also getting more scale guard protection every time.
Who can benefit from the new Scale Guard Inserts?
If you have hard water these inserts are a must - or some other means of scale prevention.
Scale Guard Inserts are only for Jupiter Water Ionizers, which have a mineral port. Otherwise get the EOS device.
They are also healthy for you! See this post:
