Water
King Overview
Water-King electronic water conditioners are some of the
most powerful devices of their type.
Using the latest electronic technology enables us to produce a product comparable in performance to much larger, more expensive systems at a much lower cost. They are
more cost effective and therefore perfect as a value engineered alternative to more expensive systems.
Introduction
Water-King is a non intrusive electronic water conditioner that inhibits
scale formation, removes existing scale deposits and partially
softens hot water. It requires no plumbing and there is no need
for ongoing maintenance nor servicing.
The technology explained
Water-King uses pre-programmed micro-chips to transmit pulses
of electrical charge into the water at varying frequencies and
amplitudes. These “signals” cause some of the salts
in the water to form sub-microscopic clusters. When the water
is then heated, the clusters act as nucleation seeds upon which
the calcium carbonate (limescale) precipitates. Instead of the
hard encrustation on pipes and heating elements that normally
occurs when water is heated, the precipitation takes the form
of tiny calcium carbonate crystals that float suspended in the
water. These invisible fine crystals are carried away with the
flowing water. See Oxford University Report
Applications
Field trials conducted over the past fourteen years have demonstrated
the effectiveness of Water-King in many applications where conventional
water softeners would normally be used. Water-King is less expensive
to install and maintain than ion exchange softeners. In larger
applications it is also less expensive and simpler to install
than inline magnetic and electro magnetic systems. Water-King
requires very little space, no special plumbing, no waste water
connection nor access for the supply of salt and its storage.
There is no head loss nor any additional corrosion problems.
How Is The Water Softened Without Removing The Calcium?
The clusters created by Water-King stimulate the conversion of
more of the dissolved calcium bicarbonate in the water into crystals
in suspension than would otherwise occur. The resulting hot water,
with less calcium bicarbonate, is now chemically softer. Soap,
which reacts adversely with calcium bicarbonate, will create more
lather despite the fact that the total amount of calcium, dissolved
and suspended, remains the same. Water-King is the only electronic
device of its kind that has been proven by independent laboratory
tests to produce softer water. See Advertising Standards Authority Reports
Drinking Water
Unlike ion exchange softened water, where minerals are removed
and replaced by sodium, Water-King treated water is suitable for
drinking. There is no need for a separate drinking water supply,
no health risks and no salt effluent. The problems of head loss
and corrosion do not occur.
Removal of Existing Scale Deposits
Water-King is very effective at removing existing scale deposits
from water heaters, calorifiers and pipes. Descaling occurs within
a few weeks. The scale breaks away in small plates as it loses adhesion
with the surface that is encrusting. In existing systems that
are badly scaled it may be worth considering fitting a filter
on the hot flow from the water heater to protect blending valves and other appliances.
Lifecycle Costs
Running costs of all units is less than £15.00 per annum.
The design life is 25 years with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
Water-King has a no quibble 100-day money-back satisfaction guarantee,
which is extendable subject to negotiation.
