Scalewatcher Brochure

Scalewatcher1. Ignore ItUsually the most expensive option when you count the cost of hard water scaling damage to your hot water system, washing machine, taps, showers, irons, coffee machines, as well as higher fuel costs (1/4” of scale in your hot water system increases cost by 40%), hard water marks around taps and basins, extra soap costs and the damaging effect to sensitive skin.2. Buy a water softenerCosts depend on size but are between £350 and £1000 and between £30 and £150 a year on salt. You also have to remember to fill the softener with salt and it is not recommended to drink the water.3. Buy a magnet or other in-line deviceMagnets that clip onto the pipe cost from £25-£100.These are usually found to be partially effective and tend only to work under ideal flow conditions. The water generally stays treated for only a short period and therefore to treat a whole house a number of these are needed and the effect is generally notHard Water Problems?The AnswersScalewatcherElectronic Elimination of Hardwater ScaleFast Systems Limited, Dalton House, Newtown Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon RG9 1HG Tel: 01491 419200 Fax: 01491 419201powerful enough to remove existing scale. Other in-line devices are usually either ionisation or catalytic and have been found to suffer some of the same limitations as magnets with variable results.4. Buy a ScalewatcherA Scalewatcher uses the same principle as magnets but uses powerful high audio frequency signals that are designed to effectively treat all water conditions and flow rates. The water stays treated for 5 days or more and one unit can therefore treat the whole house.

Proven in industry over many years the Scalewatcher brings the latest scale prevention technology to your home. The six month performance guarantee gives you the assurance of effective scale treatment or your money refunded. The cost is usually half the price of a water softener with a running cost of £3 a year.

No other product has this test record, and some have no consumer tests.• Audio or radio frequency - Scalewatcher uses a patented audio frequency system. Most other products therefore use radio frequency. This needs more space for two coils, can interfere with radio and T.V. and is not as effective.• Transformer - Scalewatcher has a built in transformer - others often use external transformers built into plugs. These have a limited life, usually five years, are difficult to replace and can run hot.• Designed to last - Scalewatcher has a computerised circuit board protected by resin encapsulation with an estimated life of twenty years. Most others have no protection and therefore are prone to corrosion, with an expected life of around five to ten years.• External Box - Scalewatcher is boxed in a high quality box designed for a twenty year life. Others are usually a very thin plastic with a life of around five to ten years.• Technical Support - We offer a free technical visit if required in addition to our telephone help line.No other product on the market has all the features of the Scalewatcher, which adds up to the best performing, longest lasting water conditioner available.Fast Systems Limited, Dalton House, Newtown Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon RG9 1HG Tel: 01491 419200 Fax: 01491 419201The Scalewatcher AdvantageScalewatcherRElectronic Elimination of Hardwater ScaleScalewatcherScalewatcher originated in industry and has a dramatic success record with installations on pipework up to 40” diameters and in 1990 won the “What’s New in Industry Award” for its services to major industrial customers.

Certainly inside six months there was obviously a big improvement.”Build It, March 1996.“The first effect of the one we tested was to release the scale which had built up within the electric shower, with significantly less scale forming around the bath and basin taps, making it easier to keep the place clean.”Practical Householder, May 1997.“Yes, it does work. We’ve given a sample a road test.”Perfect Homes, January 1993.“Now, the immersion heater element is clean. The torchlight inspection revealed no scale build-up on the indirect cylinder coil.”R. Bisby, Test Report.“Confirming your guarantee of eliminating scale, which it most certainly does with spectacular results.”Plumbing Lecturer, Hammersmith and West London College.“No longer do I need to use the oil or cream and my skin is not cracking. So No scaly kettle and no scaly skin.”Eczema suffering nurse, Mrs Moody, Hants.“I can thoroughly recommend Scalewatcher from every point of view.”R W Lowden, Hampshire.“The most dramatic difference has been in scale removal and the washing machine.”S R New, Bournemouth.“In conclusion, I would certainly recommend this appliance as a sound investment.”D G McSherry, London.What people say about ScalewatcherScalewatcherRElectronic Elimination of Hardwater ScaleCopies of originals are available upon request.Fast Systems Limited, Dalton House, Newtown Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon RG9 1HG Tel: 01491 419200 Fax: 01491 419201“It has performed entirely up to the standards in your performance guide and therefore I am delighted with the product.”D A Dunkley, Surrey.“It really works. Things just do not scale up any more.”Technical Officer, RAF Mildenhall.“I am pleased to say it appears to be working satisfactorily. Within a few weeks of installation the showerhead was free of scale, and it is now much easier to clean the shower base and round taps in the basin. I will certainly recommend to anyone who might be interested.”Mrs Paine, Hants.“I suddenly noticed that my hands which had been dry and scaly, were now soft and silky.”F E Smith, Finchley.“It seems to do all the things you claim for the system. Lavatory cisterns now sparkle and the scale has fallen off round taps, dishwasher elements and kettle casing and elements. Marks have vanished in basins and lavatory pans and glasses dry without water marks. A truly remarkable device and one which we can thoroughly recommend.”R A Wartnaby, Coventry.“Within days of its installation I was able to clear the scale which had built up around my taps, shower head, sink, bath and wash basin.”R J Dyke, Dorset.“The toilet bowls are now scale free which makes them easier to clean. My wife and daughter have noticed that their hair is softer after washing and they use less shampoo.”B Hodges, Staffs.“”Scalewatcher®Now tested and endorsed by Roger BisbyScalewatcher®The simple solution that really worksRoger Bisby is products editor of Professional Buildermagazine and is also a registered plumber.
