Calesco

SPECIALTY WATER CONDITIONER

Calesco is a specialty water conditioner designed to prevent hard water scale build-up in pivot and drip irrigation systems. Common hard water scale formation is commonly the result of calcium carbonate precipitation and accumulation in equipment employing hard water.

• Will bind with calcium, magnesium, and iron, preventing the formation of common hard water scale
• Can also be used to treat water prior to diluting fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides; and minimizing insoluble solids that can form when minerals precipitate with phosphates (precipitated solids can inhibit uniform application rates and/or plug sprayer nozzles)
• Creates a stronger bond with Ca and Mg than typical AMS treatment
• The bond formed is water soluble and does not form a sulfate precipitate like AMS
• Unlike AMS, will bond with and remove interference from Fe
• Unlike AMS, forms a strong enough bond to stop Ca, Mg, and Fe precipitation with orthophosphate fertilizers
• Does not contain ammonia and is approved with Dicamba mixes

General Application

For most applications, a rate of 8 oz. per 100 gallons of water is sufficient. Use the graph to determine precise application rates.
