Product Information

Full details

The Cistermiser Combimate is designed for homeowners and is a user-friendly solution to prevent limescale buildup in combination boilers and other domestic hot water appliances. The system utilizes Combiphos, a food-grade polyphosphate, to protect your plumbing and appliances. Note that while it prevents scale, it does not remove existing scale. It's compact, easy to install, and maintains safe, drinkable water.
