888 DESCALE

Industrial Descaler 

Delta’s 888 DESCALE dissolves calcium carbonate scale and rust deposits from water-operated systems. Our product is uniquely formulated to remove all stubborn fouling deposits down to the bare metal. USDA certified for cleaning in food production facilities as well as suitable for hospitals. This product works great on condensers, chillers, piping systems, cooling towers, heat exchangers or any type of water-fouled equipment.
As an integral part of your preventive or predictive maintenance plan, descaling your equipment with 888 DESCALE will increase energy efficiency as well as dissolve the stubborn calcium, scale, lime and rust deposits that can foul your system and cause shutdowns and downtime. Fouling that is not completely dissolved is normally ‘un-glued’ and successfully flushed from systems.

DeltaKLEAN

Building Systems Descaler

For buildings with central heating and cooling systems, shared water systems and condenser water loops, DeltaKLEAN is specially formulated for commercial water systems.
Whether you are an operations manager or maintenance manager looking to cut costs, plan out a capital equipment budget or increase your equipment’s efficiency, we recommend implementing a preventative maintenance plan with routine descaling of equipment using DeltaKLEAN. The results will astound you! By removing the limescale formations, you are allowing the system to work more efficiently and prolonging the equipment’s life. If equipment lasts longer, capital funds can be freed for other uses.
Delta offers rental and purchase of pumping systems designed to make the cleaning process seamless. With different pumps for different applications, Delta Products Group has systematized the process of cleaning your equipment and bringing it back to its original operating efficiency.

GlyKLEAN

Closed-Loop Descaler

Closed-loop systems are susceptible to corrosion, low pH and other scaling deposits of minerals and particulate matter. When glycol is added to the system, the need to be proactive in your maintenance regime is escalated. A regular descaling process as part of your preventative maintenance plan will maintain your system’s efficiency and avoid costly repairs and replacements.
Delta’s GlyKLEAN is specially formulated to handle closed-loop glycol systems or chillers.

ScaleOUT Cleaner

Closed-Loop System

When setting up a closed-loop system, unconditioned water going into the loop might cause corrosion and low pH due to the presence of dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide, microbiological growth or deposits of minerals and particulate matter. To keep a closed-loop system, we recommend a small amount of ScaleOUT to condition the water in the system and avoid internal corrosion and scaling issues.
ScaleOUT can remain in the system until you do a full system shutdown and clean out. Depending on the level of scale and corrosion in the system, we would recommend a different descaling product to circulate and clean out before putting the system back into operation.

SDS+RTD

2 in 1 Universal Descaler & Presoak

SDS+RTD was formulated to include two products in one to combat the toughest jobs. SDS+RTD descaler removes scale and other non-soluble sediments from hard-to-clean equipment and systems. While the PS8000 Pre-Soak agent works to loosen deposits in both heat transfer systems and cooling towers of water-operated systems, it then sets up the system to push the heavy duty descaling product to work at its best.
Delta Products offers several a customized descaler pumping systems to aid in the process of descaling your equipment. Available for rent or purchase, our pumping systems are ideally designed for cleaning with Delta’s descaling products.
