Product Information

Full details

The Quooker Scale Control R is designed for Quooker system owners, particularly those in hard water areas, to significantly extend the lifespan of their Quooker tank and tap. It reliably reduces scale buildup, improving water taste and reducing maintenance needs. A key caveat is the need to monitor and replace the cartridge when alerted, ensuring continued system protection. Key features include its integrated connection set and cartridge, an audible end-of-life signal, and a recycling program for used cartridges.

FAQs

How often do I need to replace the Scale Control R cartridge?

The cartridge has an audible end-of-life signal. Replacement frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but the signal will alert you when it's saturated.

What happens to the old cartridge?

You can return the used cartridge to Quooker. They will refurbish it and recycle its components, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Can I install the Scale Control R myself?

Installation involves connecting water lines, which requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable, professional installation is recommended.

What are the physical dimensions of the Scale Control R?

The unit has a height of 470 mm and a width of 110 mm, with a weight of 2.5 kg.

What is the warranty period for the Scale Control R?

The Quooker Scale Control R comes with a 2-year warranty.

What is the required water pressure for the unit to function correctly?

The minimum working pressure required is 2 bar, and the maximum working pressure is 5 bar.

Will this filter affect the temperature of the water?

No, the Scale Control R is designed to soften water and reduce scale; it does not impact the temperature of the water supplied by your Quooker system.

Troubleshooting

No water or reduced flow from Quooker tap.

Check if the Scale Control R cartridge needs replacement. A saturated cartridge can restrict water flow. Also, verify that all connections are secure and not kinked.

Audible alert not heard.

Ensure the alert mechanism is not obstructed or damaged. If you suspect it's not functioning, it may be time to consider replacing the cartridge proactively based on expected lifespan or local water hardness.

Water still tastes 'hard' or 'off'.

The cartridge may be saturated and require replacement. Verify the installation was correct and the unit is receiving adequate water flow.

Leaking from connections.

Check that all fittings are tightened securely according to the installation manual. Ensure any seals or O-rings are correctly positioned and undamaged.
