ScaleWatcher water-conditioner solution

A Fast Systems product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Apr 1, 2009

Award-winning, patented, ScaleWatcher water-conditioner offers a simple and permanent solution to limescale without using salt or chemicals.

In hard water areas plumbing, hot water systems and appliances quickly become encrusted with limescale resulting in increasing energy bills.

The Carbon Trust confirms that without scale protection just 1mm of limescale in a hot water system or boiler will increase energy costs by 7%.

This rises to a whopping 40% with 6mm of scale and a millimetre of scale will easily form in a year.

Yet despite 60% of the UK being affected by hard water, most homes have no hard water protection resulting in additional energy and maintenance costs of over GBP150 per annum.

ScaleWatcher removes most existing scale and prevents new scale forming.

There is no chemical change to the water and although it is not a softener many users report improved water quality.

Simple to install, the maintenance-free ScaleWatcher can usually be fitted in under half-an-hour, is easily retrofitted and requires no plumbing.

The payback in energy savings is usually less than a year.

One unit fitted to the incoming main will treat the whole house.

It works by producing a varying electronically applied force field, emitted by a coil wrapped around the outside of the pipework, which changes the physical properties of the calcium and prevents scale forming.

Pipes are kept virtually scale-free and as existing scale is dissolved, boilers and hot water systems become more efficient thereby saving energy.

Used extensively by industry, councils, the MoD, housing associations and builders, the UK manufactured ScaleWatcher also meets the requirement of the new building regulations to fit a scale controller in hard water areas.

Manufactured and sold in the UK for 20 years, ScaleWatcher has a 98% success rate and comes with a money-back performance guarantee, a 10-year warranty and a life expectancy of 20 years.

An economy version, ScaleWizard, is available for low-cost applications.
