Featuring 15mm compression fittings and a robust copper-zinc electrolytic cell, it operates without power or chemicals, protecting plumbing and appliances by altering calcium carbonate crystallization. Easy to install and maintain, it supports improved energy efficiency and extends appliance lifespan under pressures up to 10 bar. ## Description TEAM CONTROLS Wras Approved ELECTROLYTIC SCALE INHIBITOR 15mm compression How does an Inline Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor help to reduce limescale? Fitting an Inline Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor into the incoming mains water supply can significantly aid in reducing the buildup of limescale in water systems. This is particularly beneficial in areas with hard water, where water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. These minerals are primarily responsible for the formation of limescale, which can accumulate in plumbing, boilers, and appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. How Does an Inline Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor Work? 1. Principle of Operation: An inline electrolytic scale inhibitor works by inducing electrolytic action as water passes through the device. It typically contains two dissimilar metals, often copper and zinc, configured as an electrolytic cell. 2. Ionisation Process: As water flows through the unit, a small electrical potential difference is created between the two metals. This potential difference causes the zinc to release ions into the water. The zinc ions act as sacrificial anodes in the electrolytic cell. 3. Formation of Zinc Carbonate: The released zinc ions react with carbonate ions in the water to form zinc carbonate. This reaction is crucial because zinc carbonate is insoluble in water and has a different crystalline structure compared to calcium carbonate (the primary component of limescale). 4. Cluster Formation: The zinc carbonate particles that form are microscopic and can attract calcium carbonate particles, thus changing the crystalline structure of calcium carbonate as it forms. Instead of adhering to surfaces as hard scale, the altered calcium carbonate also tends to remain in suspension or forms a softer scale that is much easier to remove and less likely to stick to surfaces. 5. Protection of Appliances and Heating Systems: By altering the crystalline form of calcium carbonate and preventing the hard limescale deposits, the inline electrolytic scale inhibitor helps protect appliances and heating systems from scale buildup. This results in improved energy efficiency, longer appliance life, and reduced maintenance costs. Benefits ● No Chemicals or Power Needed: These devices do not require chemicals, salt, or electricity to operate, making them environmentally friendly and cost-effective. ● Easy Installation: Typically easy to install on the incoming mains water line and do not require significant plumbing changes. ● Low Maintenance: These units usually require minimal maintenance, aside from periodic checks or replacement depending on the local water conditions and volume of water usage. Overall, installing an inline electrolytic scale inhibitor is a proactive measure to protect household plumbing and appliances from the detrimental effects of limescale buildup, especially in areas with hard water.
