Everpure ScaleStick SS-IMF Oman

The Everpure ScaleStick SS-IMF Oman (EV9799-32) is a scale inhibitor cartridge that stops limescale forming inside heated food service equipment. Instead of removing hardness, it doses a controlled amount of food-grade phosphate that keeps calcium and magnesium in suspension so they pass through the machine rather than plating onto boilers, elements and evaporator plates. UV Water Systems stocks genuine Everpure product in Muscat.

Where the Everpure ScaleStick SS-IMF Oman is used

Commercial kitchens across Muscat run steamers, combi ovens and ice machines on water that is often 400 to 900 ppm TDS. That is exactly the condition that produces heavy scale. A steamer that scales up loses recovery time, trips on element failures and needs descaling far too often. The ScaleStick sits inline ahead of the machine and prevents the problem instead of treating it afterwards.

It also inhibits corrosion, which matters on equipment with mixed metals in the water path. The translucent cartridge body is a small but useful detail: your technician can see how much media is left without pulling the cartridge or guessing from a date sticker.

Installation, replacement and warranty

Fit the ScaleStick into a compatible IMF housing on the cold feed ahead of the equipment. If you are using a current SR-X housing, add the spacer so the cartridge seats correctly. Flush briefly after fitting, then check the machine’s water path is clear before returning it to service.

Service life depends on water volume and hardness rather than a fixed gallon rating, which is why the translucent body is useful. In typical Muscat conditions we recommend inspecting monthly and replacing every 6 months. On very hard supply, pairing the ScaleStick with a softener upstream gives the best protection. Genuine product carries 12 months warranty against manufacturing defects.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ScaleStick remove hardness?
No. It inhibits scale formation by sequestering hardness so it stays dissolved. If you need hardness actually removed, use a softener or a Claris-type ion exchange cartridge.

Will it fit my existing housing?
It fits older 8 inch IMF housings directly and current SR-X housings with a spacer. Send us a photo of your housing and we will confirm.

Is the phosphate safe for drinking water equipment?
Yes, it uses food-grade polyphosphate dosed at a controlled rate, standard practice in commercial food service.

Do you deliver outside Muscat?
Yes, across Oman including Sohar, Nizwa, Sur and Salalah, with installation available.
