Cistermiser Combimate Scale Remover

Product Information

It is the only system in the UK that doesn't release chemicals into your water, whilst using no energy. This differentiates Halcyan from such systems as Aquabion or Kinetico. Tried and tested– Combiphos is a polyphosphate compound specifically developed to provide the most effective limescale prevention in flow-through installations. Polyphophate dosing has been safely used to treat water throughout the world for many years.

If all you want to do is protect a boiler, water heater etc from scale damage, then phosphate dosing works fine, and is probably the cheapest way of providing protection. The water boiler for our boiling water tap was supplied with a phosphate dosing filter for just this reason. So, to answer JSHarris's ' Where do the unwanted compounds go?' - with Halcyan, they stay in your water and simply wash out in solution, no longer forming limescale. Combimate is a user-friendly domestic limescale prevention device that uses Combiphos to deliver guaranteed prevention of limescale and soft water corrosion water control, with no moving parts.

Cistermiser Combimate1 15mm Scale Reducer

Combiphos is 100% food grade material approved by the FAO/WHO and compliant with the European normative standard BS EN 1208, that prevents scale build-up and soft water corrosion in combination boilers and other domestic hot water appliances. This action prevents the formation of scale while retaining the health benefits of the natural minerals contained in hard water. Combiphos coats the inside of the pipework, boiler heat exchanger and appliances with a non-residual, microscopic, protective coating to prevent scale – causing minerals from accumulating and aggressive soft water from corroding the system and appliances. If you live in a hard water area, doing nothing to counter the problems that limescale causes is probably the most expensive option” – British Water. Whole-house supply– For this installation Combimate should be plumbed in after the stop-valve on the cold water supply to the premises. The white removable divider tray should be removed from inside the Combimate dome in a whole house installation so that the dome can be completely filled with Combiphos (the full 800g bag contents). The claims are carefully worded to suggest, rather than guarantee, what the devices "may" do, so they skate as close to the ASA rules as possible, but stay just on the right side of the law.

The Carbon Trust estimates that every millimetre of scale (around one year’s deposit) on a boiler’s element will increase its energy consumption by 7%. We ensure our descriptions of effects are responsibly described whilst recognising they can vary for different consumers. Combiphos is a polyphosphate compound, which is 100% food grade material approved by the FAO / WHO and compliant with the European normative standard BS EN 1208, that prevents scale build-up and soft water corrosion in combination boilers and other domestic hot water appliances.

No device will guarantee absolute results, because they all rely on various factors outside of their control; i.e the ever-changing water input.Health and safety– Combiphos is tasteless and odourless and contains a polyphosphate compound which is classified by the WHO as a ‘food-grade’ additive. The quantity, size and hardness of the spheres control the amount of Combiphos released. Typically this is less than 3 ppm (parts per million) of phosphate in treated water and perfectly safe for human consumption.

The chemistry of water treatment is pretty straightforward, as the compounds dissolved in it are all very well understood. When it comes to scale, then there are two main groups of metal compounds that cause permanent hardness, calcium sulphate and calcium chloride, plus magnesium sulphate and magnesium chloride. No device that uses a non-renewable catalyst, magnets, and electric field etc will remove these compounds. The most obvious thing to ask with any treatment system is "Where do the unwanted compounds go?". Combiphos also coats the inside of the pipework, boiler heat exchanger and appliances with a non-residual, microscopic, protective coating. This again prevents scale-causing minerals from accumulating and aggressive soft water from corroding the system and appliances. Installation of the Combimate has been carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The build-up of scale reduces the efficiency of a heating system. The deposits impar the transfer of heat into water, reducing the heating efficiency and allowing the metal boiler components to overheat, which can in turn lead to the boiler failing.The claim I've highlighted isn't actually true, though, is it? There are many "water conditioners" on the market that don't "release chemicals into your water". I could name a few, but as I don't want to promote products based on pseudo-science, or give them the oxygen of publicity on what is a non-commercial forum, I will just give a few generic examples to disprove your statement: Each Halcyan Water Conditioner patented alloy core is designed and configured with specially foundry blended metals scientifically selected from both the Cathode and Anode end of the Galvanic Scale. Sized correctly, the patented catalytic alloy core changes the crystalline structure of the minerals in water..." This is specifically to provide clients with the opportunity to experience the Halcyan's effects for themselves with confidence. Note: Combiphos does not soften water and its effectiveness may be reduced in water heated to temperatures above 60 degrees, in water with carbonate hardness levels above 360 ppm or at pH levels below 6.5.
