The lifespan of kaidefei polyphosphate (silica) phosphorus crystals, also known as siliphos crystals, generally ranges from 12 to 24 months in household water systems. This can vary significantly depending on factors such as water hardness, flow rate, and overall water usage. In systems with higher hardness or flow, the crystals dissolve more quickly, reducing their effective lifespan.

In systems with higher hardness or flow, the crystals dissolve more quickly, reducing their effective lifespan.
These crystals anstiscalants work by slowly releasing trace amounts of polyphosphate into the water as it flows, helping prevent scale buildup on pipes and appliances by binding with minerals like calcium and magnesium. Because they dissolve only when water is in motion, the crystals avoid unnecessary overuse, extending their functionality.
For optimal performance, siliphos crystals typically need to be replaced when scale formation reappears, or on a routine maintenance schedule, particularly in industrial or high-use scenarios.
