AquaHouse NSWS Scale prevention system with proven 99.6% Effectiveness - Chemical and Salt Free

Scale prevention system for use in small/average homes. Proven scale prevention technology at 99.6% effectiveness makes this a genuine alternative to conventional water softeners. If you would also like to filter your water at the same time as preventing scale (to remove chlorine, chemicals, heavy metals, etc) then please search for our EcoPlus whole house filter which features both scale prevention and water filtration in one unit.

The scale prevention effect takes place within the filter without adding any salt or chemicals into the water. The filter does this by using a process called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC), which 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 lime-scale, and also over time will de-scale 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 an 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. The scale prevention media has been tested independently against the international protocol for scale prevention and has achieved up to 99.6% effectiveness rating.

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

Template Assisted Crystallization compared to a water softener

  • 99.6% efficiency independently verified by the German DVGW test for scale prevention.
  • The proven water softener alternative Fit and forget
  • No moving parts to break or fail, doesn't waste water in regeneration or backwash - water softeners do.
  • Total boiler and appliance protection with no associated corrosion issues, clears existing scale deposits from pipes, fittings and appliances.
  • Unlike water softeners - no salt discharged into the environment
  • Unlike water softeners - no salt to buy or add which will save you time and money

Installation

The system comes complete with new filter installed, pod, spanner, and mounting bracket. The system has 3/4" BSP threaded nipples pre-installed, and is simply connected in-line 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.

Technical Data

340mm height, (allow for fixing brackets overall height is 490mm). Width 240mm Depth 210mm

Usage:

Small / average homes where flow rates will not regularly exceed 8 litres per minute

Flow rate:

8 to 20 litres/minute at peak flow*

(for large homes or with Megaflow boiler, please use our AquaHouse NSWS XL)

(optional extra by-pass kit to fit either 15mm or 22mm pipes available - see "accessories" tab for bypass fitting kits)

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 20 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 8 lpm whilst in another room a toilet is flushed. This will result in a temporary peak in flow above 8 lpm however will not effect the performance of the system. If however you have several bathrooms, and/or appliances which draw a high flow of water - such as a megaflow boiler - you will require the larger AquaHouse NSWS XL system.
If you require a scale prevention system for a large home or high constant flow rate for commercial/industrial applications please see our AquaHouse NSWS XL version of this system, or our commercial High Flow Scale prevention system.

At last, a limescale deterant that works!

I've had mine installed for about 2 weeks and the limescale build-up around the taps has already gone soft and can be wiped off.
I re-fitted the kitchen at the same time and when I ran water for the first time it was milky white. We have a 2 bedroom house and only 2 of us, so through-put will be quite low. Easy to install, my riser was 15mm so a simple job to fit the isolation kit.
We live in Gloucestershire and the water is very hard. I tried an electronic device to prevent limescale, but it did nothing at all!
Verdict? Highly recommended.

NSWS Proven 99.6% effective Scale Prevention, Water Softener Alternative

we had this installed nearly 3 weeks ago and it has made a noticeable difference to our limescale problems. There is now no build up around taps, sink etc and the kettle is completely clear - which for the water in this part of East Anglia is an excellent outcome. There is still some sheen appearing (silica?) which easily wipes off - nothing like limescale. Excellent product so far - easy to fit with no salt added to the environment. very happy with it.

Not Convinced

I had one of these fitted to the incoming supply 3 years ago so now is the time to have it replaced. not sure if I'm going to spend £100 on a cartridge because I haven't noticed any difference in the scale build up around taps, inside the kettle etc. I gave a two star rating based on ease of fitting and I suspect it must filter something.
