Overview

Guaranteed prevention of limescale and soft water corrosion control with no moving parts.

Why buy this product?

“If you live in a hard water area, doing nothing to counter the problems that limescale causes is probably the most expensive option” – British Water.

Combimate is a user-friendly domestic limescale prevention device that use Combiphos, a polyphosphate compound, to prevent scale build-up and soft water corrosion in combination boilers and other domestic hot water appliances. This product helps keep pipework clear, thus reducing energy and maintenance costs.

Fact: 1.6mm or 1/16” of scale in a heating system causes a 12% loss in heating efficiency.

There are numerous benefits to counteracting the damage caused by limescale to boilers:

• The build-up of scale reduces the efficiency of a heating system. The deposits impar the transfer of heat into water, reducing the heating efficiency and allowing the metal boiler components to overheat, which can in turn lead to the boiler failing.
• The impact on energy consumption and household bills of scale build-up should not be underestimated. Space and water heating consumes around 80% of the average UK household’s total annual energy consumption – around 15,600 kWh (medium usage), costing £1950. A high proportion of this involves heating water use directly.
• The Carbon Trust estimates that every millimetre of scale (around one year’s deposit) on a boiler’s element will increase its energy consumption by 7%.

What is Combiphos?

Combiphos is a polyphosphate compound, which is 100% food grade material approved by the FAO / WHO and compliant with the European normative standard BS EN 1208, that prevents scale build-up and soft water corrosion in combination boilers and other domestic hot water appliances.

Health and safety

Combiphos is tasteless and odourless and is perfectly safe for human consumption.

How it works

Combimate is filled with the appropriate amount of Combiphos which, when in contact with water, is released in very small quantities, sufficient to keep the mineral ions in suspension.
This action prevents the formation of scale while retaining the health benefits of the natural minerals contained in hard water. Combiphos coats the inside of the pipework, boiler heat exchanger and appliances with a non-residual, microscopic, protective coating to prevent scale – causing minerals from accumulating and aggressive soft water from corroding the system and appliances.
