What This Replacement Kit Does

This is the Scale Stop replacement media for the Pelican / Pentair NS3 salt-free water conditioner tank. The media inside the tank helps condition hardness minerals so they are less likely to form scale buildup inside plumbing, fixtures, and appliances.

Over time, the media can lose effectiveness. If your system is several years old or you are starting to notice more scale buildup, spots, or reduced conditioning performance, it may be time to replace the media.

Important: This Is a Salt-Free Conditioner, Not a Salt-Based Softener

The NS3 is a salt-free water conditioner / softener alternative. It helps reduce scale buildup, but it does not remove hardness minerals the same way a traditional salt-based water softener does.

Easy Installation — What to Expect

• Place the system in bypass and disconnect the tank
• Remove the tank head unit
• Empty the old media from the tank
• Use the included funnel and riser tube cap to add new media
• Reconnect the tank and fill it with water
• Follow startup instructions before returning system to service
