The YARNA CWD30 is a physical water treatment system designed to address the issues caused by hard water, such as limescale buildup, rust, and bacterial growth, without removing beneficial minerals or using salt. It operates by generating electric impulses controlled by a computerized micro-chip, which are transmitted via impulse coils wrapped around the pipe. These impulses create a frequency-field that modifies the crystals in the water, causing limescale particles to lose their adhesive power.
Function Description:
The primary benefit of the YARNA CWD30 is its ability to reduce scaling on surfaces. It modifies the crystallization of calcium, making limescale lose its adhesive power so it can be washed away as a fine powder. This process also sanitizes the piping system by carefully dissolving existing limescale buildup, leaving behind only a thin protective layer in the pipe. Furthermore, the YARNA CWD30 prevents rust and corrosion by creating an electrophoresis process that produces a protective metal-carbonate layer.
The device also tackles the problem of rust. As limescale deposits accumulate, iron particles embed within them, forming red-colored deposits. By dismantling the scale, the YARNA treatment simultaneously reduces rust. The clearing process gently brings limescale back into solution, washing it out as calcium, magnesium, and iron, all of which are healthy minerals and safe to drink.
Another significant function is the reduction of bacteria. Limescale acts as a breeding ground for bacteria and other unwanted substances. By reducing scale, the YARNA CWD30 also reduces this breeding ground, thereby greatly reducing or even fully removing bacterial contamination.
The YARNA CWD30 is designed to protect against a range of household problems caused by hard water:
- Blocked piping systems: By preventing limescale buildup, it helps keep pipes clear.
- Dull surfaces and malfunctioning machinery: It reduces the impact of hard water on appliances and surfaces.
- High costs for heating: Limescale buildup in heating elements can reduce energy efficiency by up to 40%, and the YARNA CWD30 helps prevent this, saving approximately $1000 per year for an average household.
- High expenses for cleaning: It reduces the need for frequent and intensive cleaning to remove limescale and rust stains.
- Rust accumulation in the pipe: It prevents corrosion and rust buildup.
- Bacterial growth in drinking water carrying pipes: By eliminating limescale breeding grounds, it reduces bacterial contamination.
- Ruined finishes, damaged washers and seals, valve blockages: It extends the lifespan of faucets and plumbing components, which might otherwise need replacement 40% sooner.
- Ironing and clothes stains: It prevents limescale from collecting inside irons and staining clothes.
- Dull and frizzy hair: Hard water minerals can cause residual buildup on hair, making it dry, dull, tangly, and strange-colored. The YARNA CWD30 helps mitigate this.
- Dry skin on face & body: Minerals in hard water can dry skin, clog pores, and cause flaking and itching, making cosmetics and moisturizing lotions less effective. The device helps alleviate these issues.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Installation Requirements: Requires a minimum of 10 inches (25 cm) of exposed pipe.
- Power Adapter: Comes with a 5 ft (1.5 m) cable.
- Impulse Band Length: Each impulse band has a total length of 59 inches (150 cm).
- Minimum Turns for Effectiveness: For limited pipe space, at least 9 turns for each band are required. For unlimited space, wrapping as much as possible is recommended.
- Distance Between Impulse Bands: A minimum safe distance of 1/2 inch (1 cm) between the two impulse bands is required.
- Effective Range: The unit is effective up to 1.2 miles from the installation point along the pipe system.
- Effect Duration: Depending on ambient temperatures, the effect can last up to 7 days after water exits the pipe system.
- Pipe Material Compatibility: Suitable for all pipe materials, including iron, copper, plastic, stainless steel, PVC, compound pipes, and PE-X.
- Environmental Protection: The electronic unit is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against jets of water.
Usage Features:
- Easy Installation: The main unit can be secured to the wall using screws or directly onto the pipe using plastic zip ties. It can be installed vertically, horizontally, or at any other angle.
- Flexible Impulse Band Placement: The impulse bands are secured to the pipe with zip ties and wound tightly to create a coil. Windings should be placed close to each other. In limited space, windings can be placed partly on the main pipe and partly on the distributor pipe.
- Diagnostic Lights: The main unit has two white diagnostic lights that indicate normal operation of both impulse bands. The power adapter also has an LED light.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Once installed and powered up, the YARNA water softener operates maintenance-free.
- No Salt or Water Waste: Unlike traditional water softeners, the YARNA CWD30 does not use salt or waste water.
- Mineral Retention: It does not eliminate beneficial minerals like Calcium and Magnesium, which are important for diet.
- Effectiveness Over Time: Depending on the condition of existing limescale deposits, it might take up to three months to notice the best results.
Maintenance Features:
- No Serviceable Parts: The YARNA softener has no serviceable parts, simplifying maintenance.
- Warranty: Comes with a YARNA One (1) Year Limited Warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty can be extended to TEN (10) YEARS by registering the product on www.yarna.com.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers replacement of the damaged unit with a new product, not a reconditioned/refurbished one, in case of a valid claim. It does not cover damage from improper installation, operation, tampering, external causes, natural disasters, or parts of the water system (pipes, faucets) or appliances.
- Protection of Electronic Unit: The IP65 rating ensures the electronic unit and power supply are protected against direct water exposure.
