High Performance

Limescale Protection for single appliance and commercial premises

The Liff range of physical water conditioners from BWT work by altering the characteristics of the hardness minerals within the feed water to help prevent limescale forming. Unlike a water softener a scale inhibitor will not soften the treated water and the benefits are derived from the reduction of deposited hard scale within the treated water system.

There are four main types of water conditioner, magnetic, electro-magnetic, electrolytic and electronic. The flexible nature of their design offers the client a range of benefits including low running costs, simple installation and low maintenance. Chemical free operation ensures the composition of the treated water remains largely unchanged, which is particularly important on potable water supplies.

Protection from limescale without salt or chemicals


Phys­ical water condi­tioners use a range of tech­nolo­gies and are avail­able in a variety of sizes. The final choice of model should take into consid­er­a­tion a number of factors including water hard­ness, flow rate, pipe size, pres­sure and system design, as well as the desired quality of the treated water.

The flex­ible nature of their design makes phys­ical water condi­tioners suit­able for a wide range of appli­ca­tions and pipe sizes. It is not uncommon to use more than one type or size of unit to protect different areas of large and complex system and in partic­ular, where the system has a secondary return.

BWT have also devel­oped an addi­tional tech­nique for scale inhibition and control. By using unique, three phase tech­nology, the revo­lu­tionary AQA Total stabilises water by forming nanocrys­tals, making limescale unable to be deposited in instal­la­tions.

POWERMAG Electromagnetic Scale Inhibitor

The Powermag uses the principles of magnetism to inhibit formations of crystalline scale within hot and cold water services. When the untreated water passes through the conditioning chamber, the scale forming elements molecular structure is altered, so that scale-forming particles do not readily precipitate as hard scale forming deposits. Water treated by the Powermag remains potable, so it can also be used in drinking water situations.
