Once installed, the unit will require no maintenance at all for its expected life span of 10 - 20 years or more.
The unit can be fitted on copper, plastic, steel or lead pipes. The ScaleGuard can be fitted on any pipe size up to 1" external diameter.
The ideal place is on the rising main so all the water that enters the house is treated, but if necessary, it can be fitted further up the system.

The unit costs about £10.00 a year in electricity.
