Antiscalant is a pretreatment water additive for reverse osmosis (RO) system that is highly effective in preventing the membranes from scaling. Before the feed water enters the reverse osmosis membrane, an antiscalant is injected into the water and sent through the system. This results is scale not forming as the water is being purified by the RO. The City is able to buy directly from the manufacturer — Professional Water Technologies (PWT) —instead of a distributor, resulting in an overall cost saving. An amount, not to exceed $12,000 is requested for SpectraGuard antiscalant from PWT. With a motion, a second, and a unanimous “yes” roll call vote, the bid was accepted.
