A scale suppression media and methods of making augmented polyacrylate resin beads combined with a directing agent to facilitate the formation of calcite and aragonite forms of calcium carbonate, the directing agent deposited directly into said polyacrylate resin beads. A strong acid monovalent salt, such as a metal ion, is added to the polyacrylate resin, and is adapted to be time released, and templates the calcium carbonate in the influent to form crystals in the water with reduced deposition of scale on the surfaces of material in contact with the water. The pores of the resin are filled with metal templating agent, and the agent is released as the influent passes over the resin. |
