Polyphosphate Scale & Corrosion Inhibitor Filter
This polyphosphate cartridge applies a protective coating to pipes and appliances, preventing scale buildup and corrosion while sequestering iron to stop precipitation. The slow-dissolving NSF 42 and NSF 60 certified clear bead media creates a self-healing barrier that extends the life of your plumbing system and water-using equipment.
Three-Layer Protection Against Scale and Corrosion
Sediment Reduction
10 micron nominal rating removes particulate matter while allowing polyphosphate media to interact with dissolved minerals in the water stream.
Iron and Mineral Control
NSF-certified polyphosphate beads sequester iron and bind with calcium and magnesium, preventing precipitation and keeping minerals in solution rather than depositing on surfaces.
Pipe and Appliance Coating
Slow-dissolving crystals create a self-healing polyphosphate film on interior pipe walls and appliance surfaces, forming a barrier against future scale formation and corrosion.

Drop-In Replacement for Standard 10" Housings
This filter is a compatible replacement for the Intelifil IF-SM-SCI010 and fits any standard 10-inch filter housing with 2.5-inch inner diameter. Suitable for whole-house systems, point-of-entry applications, and RO pre-treatment where scale and corrosion control is needed. Note that phosphates provide nutrients for bacteria and should only be used with chlorinated municipal water or in systems equipped with bacterial control such as UV sterilization, KDF media, or ceramic filters. Not recommended for non-chlorinated well water without additional microbial protection.
