Vegas Water Softener Frequently Asked Questions

AQUA REX WATER SOFTENERS PERFECT FOR LAS VEGAS WATER

Which Aqua-Rex unit should I purchase?

The Aqua Rex WK1 is most popular for most homes with Las Vegas City Water, and you have a Gas Water Heater.

Aqua Rex WK1E is for homes on Las Vegas Well Water and or you have an Electric Water Heater.

Tank and Tankless water heaters, with pipes up to 1 ½” in diameter. 

Have larger pipes? No Problem contact us at 702-304-2170

The Aqua-Rex WK1 measures 4” x 3” x 2” – it fits in the palm of your hand.

Aqua-Rex is simple to install. Just wrap the wires around the inlet pipe to the water heater. Second choice would be on the softener loop or third choice anywhere else on the cold-water supply. Remember the signal goes in both directions, upstream and downstream so you don’t need to pass the water through the wires to have it treated.

Just plug the transformer into an outlet – that is all you have to do. No set up or calibrating and it needs no servicing, supplies or maintenance, it is Plug and Play. It cost around $20 a year in electricity. There are no pipes to cut or plumbing to play with so it’s perfect if you are a renter. Just remember to take it with you when you move homes.

Everything you need for your soft water unit is included.  No additional parts or tools to install it are needed.

Aqua-Rex works on plastic pipes and metal pipes.

The WK1 unit is for pipes in diameter of up to 2”.  For larger pipes, please contact us.

Aqua-Rex units plug into a standard 110 Volt electrical outlet.

None

Aqua-Rex does not need salt

The WK1P for Swimming Pools & Spas is fully waterproof, but the transformer is not, so that outlet will need to be protected

Yes. It can withstand attics, crawl spaces, direct sun, etc.

Yes! This is one of the best features of Aqua-Rex Water Softeners. Simply unwind the wires & take it with you when you move!

Water Softeners by Aqua-Rex are less expensive than traditional water softeners because there is a lot less bulk. No Maintenance, upkeep, No Salt or any other kind of water additives needed like the other types of Soft Water Units.

No, you do not need a GFCI outlet with Aqua-Rex. Just use a standard 110v Outlet in your home.

You should immediately notice a difference in your hair, skin and how well cleansers and soaps lather. Soon you will notice a difference in water scaling build up.

No.  It will starts working the moment you install it and plug it in.

Aqua-Rex Water Softeners DO NOT require any Calibration set up or any maintenance whatsoever. Easy Simple one-time installation and done!

Has Aqua-Rex Water Softeners been third-party tested?

Aqua-Rex is the device with the first US independent third-party performance verification. When tested by IAPMO R&T Labs it showed it could reduce scaling by 83% in Las Vegas water heated to 180°F for 23 hours.

Aqua-Rex is simple to install. Just wrap the wires around the inlet pipe to the water heater. Second choice would be on the softener loop or third choice anywhere else on the cold-water supply. Remember the signal goes in both directions, upstream and downstream so you don’t need to pass the water through the wires to have it treated. Just plug the transformer into an outlet – that is all you have to do. No set up or calibrating and it needs no servicing, supplies or maintenance, it is Plug and Play. It cost around $20 a year in electricity. There are no pipes to cut or plumbing to play with so it’s perfect if you are a renter. Just remember to take it with you when you move homes.

Aqua-Rex treats all the water in the home, all the time. It sends a signal into the water heater even when no water is flowing, and it also sends a signal back into the cold supply in the rest of the home so mixing valves, showerheads and kitchen faucets won’t get scaled up either. It is OK to treat the water to the kitchen faucet because it doesn’t add unhealthy sodium to the water, instead it retains the healthy calcium.

Aqua-Rex doesn’t use any salt or chemicals and it doesn’t produce any environmentally unfriendly discharges. It needs no maintenance or servicing and it costs hardly anything to run. It doesn’t add any unpleasant taste to the water or risk any additional corrosion to your plumbing system. It’s a lot less expensive to buy, install, and maintain.

Aqua-Rex reduces scaling like a softener, but it also gets rid of the old scale in the home which a softener won’t do. It softens hot water, so you use less soap and detergents, but you don’t get that slippery feel to the water from the sodium dumped in by a softener. It can deliver about the same benefits as a conventional water softener, and there’s no salt to haul!

You can wrap the Aqua-Rex wires on any type of pipe material: plastic or metal, even the flexible copper inlet pipe to the water heater.

Aqua-Rex pool conditioners are great for clearing the calcium scale from tiles and water features. It reduces scaling in the saltwater chlorine generator and makes the biocide work more efficiently. It reduces phosphates thus making the pool clearer. The WK1P Swimming Pool Water Conditioner is fully waterproof and should be installed on the circulating line after the pump. 

The answer is no. The pump in the dishwasher reduces the effectiveness of Aqua-Rex so you need to use a good hard water detergent and most importantly a hard water rinse aid, such as Lemi Shine ®, which is available from most stores. If you follow these instructions you should be happy with the results from the dishwasher. Laundry washing machines work better with Aqua-Rex

Aqua-Rex units are available for all pipe sizes and are installed on hotels, condos, industrial plants and cooling towers. They are used in schools, colleges and military bases, everywhere that hard water is a problem.

Swimming Pool Water Descaler FAQ

VEGAS POOL HARD WATER CONDITIONER & DESCALER

Does Aqua Rex need any Maintenance or Servicing?

Absolutely none at all. You set it and forget it – its plug and play. Just make sure it is getting power and the LED is flashing. It has a design life in excess of 25 years. Just remember to take it with you when you move homes.

Yes, it makes them work better, so you can use less chemicals.  Helps kill bacteria so you have less need to “shock” treat a pool, reducing chemical usage.

No not at all.

Helps kill bacteria so you have less need to “shock” treat a pool, reducing chemical usage.

It won’t kill algae directly, but it Reduces phosphates in the water and makes it much clearer, which saves on costly chemicals.

Yes, cleaner water going in less clogging can help make your filters last longer.

Absolutely Yes!

On Salt Water systems it keeps the generator cleaner and saves de-scaling.

None at all. Aqua Rex cleans your pool & spa water.

Calcium scale and Silica scale look very similar and are often confused with each other. The easiest way to tell them apart is to test them with an acid such as vinegar or muriatic.

Calcium scale will bubble and will disappear. Silica won’t react at all.

Aqua-Rex will NOT remove Silica scale. The scale around the grout lines of tiles generally comes from behind the tile and is mostly Silica. Aqua-Rex will not be effective on this kind of scale either. High levels of Silica are found in a few ground water supplies.

Aqua-Rex will reduce scale in a filter so the sand is free to act more effectively and may require less backwashing. It will help chlorine or other biocides to be more effective so that the amount used can be reduced for the same effect.

Aqua-Rex has shown to be effective at causing phosphates to flocculate and fall out of solution into the bottom of the pool. The water will be clearer and any algae will have less food so is less likely to cause a problem.

It may also help reduce dissolved solids by encouraging them to precipitate into suspended solids which can then be removed by the filter.

Pool Unit is fully waterproof so it can be installed outside.

Aqua Rex WK1P Pool unit is IP66 rated, but the Electrical transformer that plugs into the socket is not.

Aqua Rex is completely waterproof. The power cable is 7′ feet long.  Comes with a USB plug so you can plug it into any USB outlet or use the transformer supplied to plug into a 120v outlet.

While Aqua-Rex is a new product in the US for the pool market, it is a tried and tested product in the UK and Europe.

Aqua Rex has been in use for over twenty years in its role as a water softener alternative and as a treatment for Long String Algae on Koi Carp ponds.

Over the last four years we have evaluated its performance on swimming pools in the USA and since April 2013 it has been a listed vendor product with Poolcorp. In every field where it has been evaluated it has performed as well, and in most cases, better than expected.

Aqua-Rex will get rid of Calcium scale but will have little or no effect on Silica scale.

Silica scale is only an issue in a few areas of the country where Silica rich water is drawn from wells. Silica scale won’t react to acids such as vinegar or Muriatic and can only be removed by using abrasives.

Sometimes you will find all the scale disappears and then a thin layer recurs, especially around the grout line. This is most likely to be Silica, and Aqua-Rex nor any device on the market is able to remove it electronically.

YES! it does help.

  • Calcium scale on tiles and pool walls breaks up and falls away. Stops calcium scale along the water line. Saves from bead blasting that saves you time and money.

It has no difference for your eyes.  The chlorine is what hurts your eyes.

Another great thing about Aqua Rex. You can install it yourself in about 20 minutes.

See our easy installation video or you can download the PDF instructions. Instructions are also included in the box.

  • ENERGY AND WATER CONSERVATION: Aqua-Rex uses minimal amounts of energy to run – about $20 per year. It is eco-friendly – no chloride-filled wastewater, and no backwashing required.

The unit should be installed downstream of the circulation pump and a multi cyclone filter, if fitted, on a pipe that is always full of water. If there is more than one pump serving a separate pool or water feature, then each pumped line needs to be treated downstream of the pump. It will operate on any type of pipe material, including corrugated and plastic up to 2½” diameter.

Just wrap the two aerial wires around the pipe after the circulation pump and secure them with the zip ties (Included).

NO Need to cut pipes or do any kind of plumbing.  DIY installation. Easiest is to hang the Pool unit on the pipe where it is installed rather than fixing it on a wall. Instruction Videoor you can download the PDF instructions. Instructions are also included in the box.

Yes, works great! It Reduces the TDS so less need to dump your pool or spa water. Saves water, Saves Time & Saves Money!

Yes, it does. Aqua Rex makes it operate more efficiently.
Saves Energy, Saves your water heaters life & Saves you Money.

We have a separate system for your home that pairs greatly with the Pool Conditioner. See our Home Water softeners

No. Aqua-Rex units are equipped with an additional Self-Diagnostic “Guard Chip” program which monitors the performance of the main program and resets the system automatically if it detects a variation or system failure. There is no need for manual resetting after power outage.
