Chemical release system

A chemical release system for eliminating scale conditions and maintaining a neutral pH in potable water, the chemical release system comprising:

• a cartridge comprising:
• a hollow body defining a first open end first open end opposite a second open end;
• a time-release pouch within the hollow body holding a composition that mixes with the potable water to eliminate scale conditions and maintain a neutral pH in the potable water;
• an end plug at least partially coupled within the hollow body at the second open end of the hollow body;
• and
• a feeding head assembly coupled within the hollow body between the time-release pouch and the first open end of the hollow body;
• and
• the feeding head assembly comprising:
• a housing defining an internal cavity and opposing first and second housing end openings;
• a first end plate defining a central through hole coupled to the first housing end opening;
• at least one filter media layer coupled between the first housing end opening and the first end plate;
• a restrictor plate defining a single through hole centrally located and configured to help control water flow, the restrictor plate within the housing and adjacent the at least one filter media layer;
• at least one semi-permeable membrane configured to help control water flow, the at least one semi-permeable membrane within the housing and adjacent the restrictor plate;
• and
• a second end plate defining a central through hole coupled within the second housing end opening, and
• a through hole configured to let water pass into the hollow body, the through hole defined through the hollow body and positioned between the first open end of the hollow body and the feeding head assembly.
