Water Descaler: Scale Manager 2 is the industry's top performing water descaler (can also be known as a water conditioner). It has a life time warranty and also carries a 6-month no risk money back guarantee. Scale Manager 2 should not be compared to any other similar device available that are mostly called water conditioners or water softeners. Scale Manager 2 is the only water descaler that harnesses 2 systems of treatment to ensure complete limescale eradication, designed to treat all types of hard water in all domestic situations. Scale Manager 2 is the maintenance free solution to hard water problems; removing existing limescale and preventing further build-up without the need for chemicals, salts, alteration to plumbing, or a separate drinking water supply, unlike a water softener. The Scale Manager 2 effect does not alter the waters chemical composition, but achieves the many advantages of being limescale free. Scale Manager 2 costs as little as £1.30 a year to run, unlike water softeners that cost between £40 - £160.

Water Conditioner: As mentioned above, water conditioners are similar to a water descaler. However, many water conditioners have a single R.F output that changes frequency very slowly; therefore not treating all of the water with all of the known frequencies all of the time. We prefer the term water descaler as opposed to a water conditioner for Scale Manager 2, as it is exactly what Scale Manager 2 does - descales the whole property.

Water Softeners: Traditional water softeners work by changing the chemical composition of hard water through 'ion-exchange'. This process results in a low-level introduction of sodium (salt) into the water. For an impartial view of the Softener process, take a look at the British Heart Foundation’s article on water softeners and their affects. The cost of domestic Water Softeners, dependent on size, is generally between £550 and £1,500. Water Softeners are relatively expensive to install, requiring plumbing modifications - the salts used in water softeners will cost between £40 and £160 per year - the water is not suitable for babies and some adults to consume - a separate drinking water supply is essential and the effluent water is environmentally unfriendly, unlike a Scale Manager 2. Compared to a water descaler a water softener is far larger and requires a lot more space. Also the salts used in water softeners are bulky and need storage space. Some water softeners are difficult to fill with salt, particularly when in a confined space.

Magnets, Catalytic & Ionisation Devices: These are only partially effective as they are not usually able to remove existing limescale and generally are not suitable for long term whole house application.

How does it work? There are two technologies employed to produce the magnetic charge that Scale Manager 2 delivers so effectively - Radio Frequency (RF) and Direct Inductive Coupling (DIC). The two systems are modulated onto independent antennas, allowing greater fitting versatility and increased outputs, in excess of two ordinary water conditioners.

Most water conditioners have a square-wave output and change frequency very slowly in steps (not covering all frequencies known to treat limescale). Scale Manager 2's outputs are digitally produced sine wave, ensuring greater frequency coverage. Most brands of water conditioners translate the outputs of their products in terms of pulses, Scale Manager 2 delivers an unparalleled 13000 magnetic pulses per second, covering all the known frequencies to reduce limescale. It is this action that neutralises the calcium carbonate's ability to adhere. Both RF and DIC systems are produced via the very powerful PIC 16 microprocessor that has a proven accuracy and reliability record.

As the treated water flows through your plumbing system it will reverse the limescale forming process and disintegrate the build-up already present, the process starts immediately Scale Manager 2 is installed. It may take several months to eradicate limescale where heavy deposits are to be found. However, the beneficial effects will be observed usually within 2-10 days or so - see benefits when? The reason for a delay is the unconditioned stored water takes some time to be totally replaced with conditioned water. Read how the Water Descaler actually works.

Scale Manager 2 is a belt and braces product. Designed and manufactured in the UK by Waltham Electronics up to the highest of standards, not down to a price. Our unique no quibble replacement guarantee is for life.

Others may well have attempted to follow where Waltham Electronics has led, but Scale Manager 2 has set the benchmark for all water descalers, water conditioners and electronic water softeners to strive towards.

Hard Water: Hard water in simple terms is caused by rainwater passing through chalk, limestone or marble where it collects deposits of mineral salts. The principal salt contributing to hard water is calcium bicarbonate (CaHCo3).

The calcium bicarbonate is in a solution form but precipitates out into calcium carbonate (CaCo3) which is a sub-microscopic, insoluble molecule. The molecules are attracted to each other (clustering) and adhere also to your plumbing system and appliances creating limescale deposits. The calcium carbonate content of limescale exceeds 98% - therefore if the molecules can be treated with the Scale Manager effect that makes the molecules reject instead of instead of attract, limescale cannot form and will reduce.

Limescale: Whilst limescale itself is not considered a health hazard, hard water has been known to exasperate eczema and irritate those with sensitive skin conditions. It has been noted by medical authorities that the mineral content of hard water is beneficial. Most water softeners rely on removing these minerals, thereby removing any associated benefit, but Scale Manager 2 retains the calcium carbonate in the water. For a more in-depth explanation, see Scale Manager 2 electronic water descaler.

Most of us are familiar with the problems related to hard water; however, there is also a plus side - it is now medically accepted that hard water reduces the risk of heart disease and the high calcium content is also beneficial for healthy bones and teeth, particularly in growing children.

The higher the temperature, the more limescale will form. Therefore build-up will be greater in the hot water system, particularly immersion heaters and boilers. See our Savings & Enironment page to work out how much money you could save with Scale Manager 2, and of the environmental reasons for doing so.

Combination Boilers are particularly susceptible to limescale as well as the problems above, it will cause reduced water flow and noise/kettleing within the boiler - it is strongly recommended in hard water areas that a scale inhibitor be fitted.

Scale Manager 2 does not alter the chemical composition of your water; therefore the health benefits of consuming hard water are retained - unlike a water softener.
