Scalemaster 15mm Speedfit Electrolytic Scale Inhibitor 401010 product description:
Scalemaster 15mm Electrolytic Speedfit Scale Inhibitor - for Whole House Protection.
Scalemaster® Electrolytic Limescale Inhibitors prevent limescale build-up by adding a small trace of zinc to the water. This has the effect of suppressing limescale formation by bonding to the dissolved calcium ions which then require more energy for precipitation. Any micro-crystals which form are then washed away by the water flow rather than adhering to heat-exchanger surfaces.
Laboratory research has shown a relationship between the amount of zinc dissolved and the reduction in limescale precipitation achieved, Scalemaster® Electrolytic Limescale Inhibitors incorporate patented technology to boost the supply of zinc In independent tests, application of the Scalemaster® electrolytic technology typically extends boiler life by 50% in hard water area by preventing limescale precipitation.
Note: Electrolytic Limescale Inhibitors are recommended for whole house applications.
Installation Instructions
POSITIONING: Electrolytic Speedfit® should be fitted in the cold mains supply pipe after the stopcock and should be positioned a minimum of 450mm from any soldered fitting. In all cases the installation should be made to comply with BS 5955-8:2001. Max operating pressure/temperature 10 bar at 20°C.
CONNECTING
- Cut out a 120cm section of pipe precisely using a pipe cutter. It is important that the pipe is cut square and is free of score marks, burrs and sharp edges to avoid damage to the ‘O’ Ring.
- Identify slip end by the arrow on the product label and push onto pipe allowing to slip inside the unit. Do not use a lubricant.
- With the collet pushed in squarely towards the unit at the slip end, push non slip end onto pipe until internal stop is felt, then release collet. Ensure the unit is secure at both joints. Switch on water supply and check for leaks. Unscrewing the end caps will break the seal and invalidate the product warranty.
USING A KETTLE: Scalemaster changes hard water scale into tiny particles. The particles pass out of water heating systems in the flow of water called off for use. However, to prevent an accumulation of scale particles in a kettle, pour away any unused hot water and refill with cold.
EARTH BONDING: Installing this product may interrupt the electrical bonding of the system. It is important to maintain earth continuity in accordance with I.E.E. Regulations and a suitable earth bonding cable should be fitted to the pipework to bypass the product. Earth bonding should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
