EcoPlus XL Home Water Filtration System & Proven 99.6% Scale Prevention

The EcoPlus XL is the larger version of the EcoPlus system and is suitable for average/larger homes (including homes with Megaflow boilers) and small commercial settings. The EcoPlus XL uses the latest in scale prevention and water filtration technology to filter the water for your whole home or business premises. Once installed the system will filter all of your water to a high level, descale existing pipework, and prevent future scale from forming - without adding any chemicals or salt into your water! The scale prevention filter media is proven to be 99.6% effective, making this an extremely effective system.

The system comprises of two stages of filtration

Stage 1 - Water filtration

The first filter pod on the system contains a multi media filter which will filter levels of Chlorine, THM’s, PCB’s, and reduce levels of heavy metals (if present) such as Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Mercury and Iron. The filter media also has antibacterial properties to help control bacterial growth. This produces good tasting water for the whole home which you can drink from any tap. This is also great for the garden for plants, paddling pools, de-chlorinated water for fish keeping, etc.

You will need to replace this first filter on the system just once every 12 months (dependent upon usage and incoming water quality)

Stage 2 - Scale prevention (softener alternative/conditioning)

The scale prevention takes place within the second filter without adding any salt or chemicals into the water. The filter does this by using a process called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC), which basically conditions the water and converts the hardness minerals in the water (Calcium and Magnesium) into harmless, inactive microscopic crystals. This prevents the Calcium and Magnesium from bonding together to form limescale, and also over time will descale existing pipework and appliances. Because of this process no natural minerals are lost from the water, and no chemicals or salts are added either.

Water which has undergone this filtration process has a conditioning effect which prevents scale from forming in pipework and appliances, around sinks and washbasins, and will help prolong the life and efficiency of your appliances by preventing limescale. The scale prevention media will work even in the hardest water areas and has been tested independently against the international protocol for scale prevention with a 99.6% effectiveness rating.

You will need to replace this second filter on the system just once every 36 months (depending upon incoming water quality).

Installation

The system comes complete with new filters, pods, and mouting brackets. The system has 3/4" BSP (22mm) threaded nipples pre-installed, and is simply connected inline with your cold water mains pipe to filter the water for the whole home / premises. This is a very straight forward installation for any plumber.

We also have a full bore compression fittings bypass kit and flexible hoses available as an optional extra, these are useful for tight installations where the system cannot be installed in-line with the pipe and needs to go underneath / above the pipe instead. Please see "accessories" tab for fitting kits in 15mm and 22mm sizes,

Approvals

The internal water filter media used in this system meets NSF 61 standard. This is the American standard for drinking water products which is world renowned and internationally recognised.

Maximum Pressure:

70 PSI


*Peak flow: The system will treat water up to the peak flow. The system can be run constantly at the lower end of the flow rate for 24/7, 365 days a year and maintain constant scale protection, the system will also maintain scale protection at peaks in flow of up to 38 lpm for several minutes but not constantly for hours/days at this flow rate.
For example, in a home setting, a bath may be filling at 15 lpm whilst in another room a toilet is flushed. This will result in a temporary peak in flow above 20 lpm however will not effect the performance of the system.
If you require a scale prevention system with a high constant flow rate for a very large home or commercial/industrial applications please see our commercial High Flow Scale prevention system (search for reference: WFM-835).

EcoPlus XL Whole House Water Filter

We live in area with very hard water which is highly chlorinated and have been using a Brita filter for drinking water.
The water tastes fine after using the Brita filter but after leaving it for a few hours or overnight the taste comes back.
Our plumber installed the system in 3 hrs with some complicated pipe work due to the location of the maims inlet pipe.
We tested the water after flushing through for 10 minutes and it tasted like good quality spring water. A glass was left overnight and tasted exactly the same in the morning.
The water is much softer but not producing a slimy feel which you tend to get with salt softened water.
I can also now top up my Koi carp pond without have to treat it for chlorine content
Time will tell whether it leaves any deposits on the shower screen or removes existing lime scale from the system.
We looked at many other systems but this has the advantage of producing softer water without salt and also filters out impurities.
The replacement cartridges are a little expensive but considering the softener cartridge last for three years and no salt costs,no wasted water and no more Brita cartridges, I would certainly recommend the system.
Time will tell whether it fully lives up to expectations.

After 2 years

This filter has reduced the amount of scale build up to where after two years everything still looks great.

Thought i would write a review after the product has been operating for three months. As a plumber, i found it easy to install behind my built in drinks cabinet in a modern kitchen. The reason i bought it, was that i had replaced all my household taps, and en suite shower, plus new bathroom. I live in a very hard water supply area of Northamptonshire, check your area online, and was fed up of the heavy hard limescale buildup, i had used an inline inhibitor for years, which helped a lot, but not enough. This unit has helped even more at prevention, but being in the area i am, i still get a build up which is finer in nature, and easier to scrape away with a fingernail. I also bought the unit because of the additional filter, ( i brew copious amounts of pale ale, lol ) and the benefit that all the taps in the house have this benefit, and not just the fridge water filter. Do i think it is worth the money? in all honesty i have to say yes, although i cannot say how often filter one will last for, i would like to see a unit specifically for very hard water, although i do believe that all water suppliers should reduce limescale at souce. Tried to post photos.

makes a real difference

I had a professional plumber install it, and the only thing is that its a big unit. The first thing you notice is the water tastes so good. I mean mountain fresh good. Does it reduce the limescale or prevent the limescale from sticking? It doesn't remove it entirely, i would say it reduces it, but put it this way, the shower still has limescale build up that needs to be removed with descaling agents. Perhaps not as often as before but still needed. will i be maintaining the system, yes, i'm never going back to the councils water without filtering it, not even my dog would drink that water.
