Cistermiser Combimate Scale Remover

Product Information

This reinforces our statement of Sustainability without Compromise, ensuring that we practice what we preach whilst consistently providing our customers with fantastic service. 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. https://halcyanwater.com/domestic/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/HalcyanTechnicalOverviewDomesticincFAQs.pdf 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. 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.

Ion exchange water softeners do remove metals from the water, primarily calcium and magnesium, but also iron to some degree. They replace those metals with sodium. 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: 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. There are two installations options when fitting Combimate: whole-house supply or single appliance protection.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%.

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. 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.

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.This is specifically to provide clients with the opportunity to experience the Halcyan's effects for themselves with confidence. 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?". 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.

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 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.We ensure our descriptions of effects are responsibly described whilst recognising they can vary for different consumers. Richi, I will indeed forgive your scepticism! Our 'alloy core changes the crystalline structure of the minerals in water..." ' claim is valid. We use a patented alloy to very simply and reliably change water's Calcium Carbonate content from its limescale-creating Calcite form into another Calcium Carbonate polymorph; Aragonite. Aragonite is physically unable to bond to surfaces or itself. 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. You can remove pretty much everything from water with reverse osmosis, but the water tastes pretty awful, it seems we need some mineral content to make water taste OK.
