Cistermiser Combimate Scale Remover

Product Information

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 reinforces our statement of Sustainability without Compromise, ensuring that we practice what we preach whilst consistently providing our customers with fantastic service. 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. 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.No device will guarantee absolute results, because they all rely on various factors outside of their control; i.e the ever-changing water input. 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). There are two installations options when fitting Combimate: whole-house supply or single appliance protection. Sadly, one of the ways to make something appear as if it is some sort of technological marvel is to charge a high price for it. The high price lends credibility to the claims in some ways.

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. 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. Essentially, Halcyan will always deliver a significant reduction in limescale build-up when sized correctly. https://halcyanwater.com/domestic/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/HalcyanTechnicalOverviewDomesticincFAQs.pdf 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.

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?". 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. 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. Worth noting that phosphate dosing doesn't remove anything from the water, the proportion of metals in the water on the inlet side is exactly the same as the proportion of metals in the outlet side, so there is the same amount of calcium, magnesium, iron etc in the water post treatment as before. The primary effect is to coat the inside of the pipework, heat exchangers, water heaters etc with a protective coating that reduces the level of scale build up. A secondary effect is that the small amount of phosphate makes the water easier to lather with soap. In essence, it's the same as adding Calgon to the water supply, but in a continuous, low level, dose.
