Does this control scale as well or do I need the liquid additive?

No this does not control scale. An I don't know of any liquid additive that controls scale either. This controls slime by preventing bacteria from growing in the water.

I use a liquid additive, specifically for scale, and have little build up. It's available on Amazon: Holmes Lime Scale Treatment Solution for Humidifiers, S1705PDQ-U

Our water produced both scale & mold in our humidifier. We have a double chamber humidifier so we have to put a "rattle" (as my husband refers to them) in each tank but they work great! It does control the white scale but we find that it is just inside a month before we have to change them (about 22 days or so) because we can detect the mold odor----but soooo much lighter of an odor than using the humidifier without them. We think they are a great product & a great value----they've helped us control sinus infections in our home & todays medical costs are worse than the cost of the products. Hope that helps!

I don't about a liquid additive. But I do know that mine humidifier has to cleaned thoroughly once a month because it gets awful goop throughout the insides.

Only one bottle is required. This is an additive and is used in conjuntion with the fluid.

I have not had any trouble with this. It is not recommended to do other liquids however you can add to it once it is pressurized.

It seems to only spray very liquified solutions. If, there are granules in your mixture, I would advise you to look elsewhere.

Control solution is recommended but is actually rarely used. I have only used it when I questioned the results I was getting from a previous meter. All meter manufacturers state that you should use control solution regularly, but very few people actually do. I think thank the manufacturers recommend it to CYA.

No difference I just like the liquid better.I think the liquid is a little sweeter but not sure of that.

I like the liquid because I can put in a specific amount of sweetness. With th I brand there is a dropper. So if I add 5 drops to a beverage and I want it just a little sweeter I can add another 2 drops. There isn't that much control with the powder.

Definitely shorter time... diluting it just makes it ineffective. It is an acid so in order for it to be effective, you need it to be acidic.

When I combine ingredients, I put it in a tight sealed jar and as it cools, I give it periodic rapid movement shakes. So, I am burning calories in the process. This is a longer process, but I don't have to worry about cleaning the blender, and still get a blended product.

No additives required for normal operation. I like to add a fuel stabilizer if I store it for extended periods

Everything I've read indicates the three are necessary. You only use a ounce of each per gallon of water. The fluids must be mix with the water not together or the chemical reaction nutrializes the effectiveness. I've had a lot of success with this product and it is tried and true. If you have questions, I recommend going to a local hydroponics shop if available or going to youtube and searching on the products or just general hydroponics. Good luck!

If you do not want to use salt or any other chemicals, this is the only other method you can use that has tested and proven results. The media acts as a catalyst to give something for the calcium and magnesium molecules to start their binding process on. Once they start binding the filter media, the break off as molecules bound together in your water so they do not look for other surfaces to cling to. Thus, you prevent scale build up on your appliances, etc. These work great for preventing damaging scale build up. The standard system works good in lower hardness ranges up to 25 gpg. If you have higher hardness levels, we can customize the system for your application. Just contact us, afw filters 785-735-9769

YES ,follow instructions , add your water or water ever liquid you are going to use , set timer and temp . Invest in a meat probe (dual) so that you can be aware of the doneness inside . It will do the work for you , no hassle .

No, I can't answer this -- I purchased the Collinite Liquid for my son who wanted to use it on his boat. Sorry.

This scale does measure liquid ingredients as long as you know how many ounces, grams, etc. you need as opposed to measuring it in cups.

I used both and seems like they both work, but the Wet and Forget maybe a bit quicker. Neither are instantaneous. If you have real heavy stuff, it takes an extra spraying and time period. Had heavy stuff on a LP Gas tank about 1/2" thick. Took 2 years without touching it, but it is gone. I bought the concentrated in both brands a couple of years ago.

It isn't the only thing you need, however you will use the Bromine a lot more than you will use anything else. When I did all the work on our hot tub, that was pretty much all I ever used and the balance was usually spot on. My husband is a tad more "strict" about things so he uses other chemicals I never really had to use. He changes the water every 3 months or so though. Good buy on the Bromide though. You'll definitely get your money's worth. Scale defense is another one that might be used more often. Rarely did I use chlorine. Hope this helps.
