The Scale Armor Guard™ is a dual-function sediment and scale control prefilter that protects your home’s plumbing, appliances, and water treatment system. Designed with a 5-micron polypropylene filter and an integrated polyphosphate core, it not only captures fine particles like sand, rust, and silt but also conditions water to prevent hard limescale buildup.

Dual Protection – Removes sediment down to 5 microns while preventing calcium and magnesium from forming hard scale.
Appliance & Plumbing Protection – Extends the life of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and pipes.
Improves System Performance – Keeps downstream filters, like carbon blocks and NanoPak®, working efficiently for longer.
High-Quality Construction – FDA-compliant polypropylene ensures safe performance for drinking water systems.
Temperature Resilient – Operates in hot and cold water systems up to 176°F (80°C).
Low Maintenance – Designed for a 12-month service life with simple replacement.
Universal Fit – Fits standard 4.5" x 20" housings, ideal for residential and light commercial applications.
Ideal Applications:
Whole-home point-of-entry filtration systems
Municipal or well water with sediment and hardness issues
Homes needing extra protection for appliances and fixtures
