What causes limescale?
Water naturally contains different levels of calcium, magnesium and other minerals depending on it’s path through the Earth’s water table. Limescale forms when heat or pressure drops cause calcium and carbonate to precipitate as calcium carbonate. You see this hard light colored build-up on shower heads, faucets, shower doors but it also occurs in piping, water heaters and appliances.
The Cold “Hard-Water” Facts:
Showerheads in hard water lose 75% of flow rate in less than 18 months
Tankless water heaters failed after only 1.6 years on average with hard water.
Water heaters are up to 24% more cost efficient with treated water.
Electric water heaters can accumulate a large volume of limescale shortening the life of the heating element
You can use 50% less soap and detergent with soft water. Hard water makes soap work harder.

How Our Technology Works
- Our core technology has a twin catalytic effect. The first is the shape which creates turbulence and a very small pressure drop (much less than a softener). Pressure drops create limescale.
- The second effect is the alloy acts as a battery, generating a very small electrical current as water makes contact with the alloy.
- The electric current creates the condition needed to rearrange the limescale molecule to a benign soft non-bonding crystal.
- These suspended soft crystals just stay in the water instead of sticking to pipework and hot water cylinders. They just pass harmlessly through your system and down the drain.
