FAQs

What is limescale and why should I prevent it?

Limescale is a build-up of calcium carbonate that forms when hard water is heated or evaporates. It can clog pipes, reduce the efficiency of water heaters and appliances, and shorten their lifespan.

How does the Calmag Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor work?

It uses an electrolytic process to interact with the minerals in the water, altering their structure so they are less likely to form hard scale deposits.

Can I install this on my hot water pipe?

No, this specific model is designed for use on cold water lines only. It is not suitable for hot water systems.

What size pipe does this unit fit?

This model is designed for 22mm diameter pipes and uses compression fittings.

Do I need to earth bond this unit?

No, earth bonding is not required for this unit.

What is the maximum flow rate?

The maximum flow rate is 1.08 liters per second (approximately 14 gallons per minute).

What is the warranty period?

The Calmag Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor comes with a 7-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

No visible reduction in limescale

Ensure the unit is installed on the cold water line and that water is flowing through it. Check if the water hardness in your area is extremely high, which might require multiple units or professional assessment.

Leakage from the unit

Turn off the water supply and check that the compression fittings are tightened correctly and securely. Ensure the pipework is clean and free from debris before re-installing.

Difficulty installing on pipe

Verify that you are using a 22mm pipe. Ensure the pipe ends are clean, straight, and free from damage. If using compression fittings, make sure all components are present and correctly aligned.
