Scale inhibitors, fungicides, and algaecides are generally two water treatment chemicals with different functions, and they are aimed at different problems. Antiscalants are mainly used to prevent the fouling of minerals in the water system, and their targets are hardness ions (such as calcium and magnesium ions) in the waterFungicides and algaecides are used to kill and inhibit microorganisms and algae in the water body to prevent them from breeding and multiplying in the system, keeping the water clean and preventing biological contamination.
Scale inhibitors. In general, antiscalants, fungicides and algaecides are compatible in the water treatment process, and there is no chemical reaction between the two that can cause their respective functions to fail. However, it also depends on the formulation of the specific products and whether there is some kind of adverse interaction between them. In practice, the technical guidelines of the product manufacturer should be followed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the combined use of the two chemicals under specific operating conditions to avoid unintended adverse effects.
In some cases, it may be necessary to apply them separately at different times, or in a specific order to ensure maximum efficacy. At the same time, some compound products have taken into account the coordination of these two functions, which can play the effect of scale inhibition and sterilization and algae removal at the same time.
