This is specifically to provide clients with the opportunity to experience the Halcyan's effects for themselves with confidence. 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. There are two installations options when fitting Combimate: whole-house supply or single appliance protection.

Tried and tested– Combiphos is a polyphosphate compound specifically developed to provide the most effective limescale prevention in flow-through installations. Polyphophate dosing has been safely used to treat water throughout the world for many years.

There are many "water conditioners" on the market that don't "release chemicals into your water". I could name a few, but as I don't want to promote products based on pseudo-science, or give them the oxygen of publicity on what is a non-commercial forum, I will just give a few generic examples to disprove your statement: If all you want to do is protect a boiler, water heater etc from scale damage, then phosphate dosing works fine, and is probably the cheapest way of providing protection. The water boiler for our boiling water tap was supplied with a phosphate dosing filter for just this reason. Each Halcyan Water Conditioner patented alloy core is designed and configured with specially foundry blended metals scientifically selected from both the Cathode and Anode end of the Galvanic Scale. Sized correctly, the patented catalytic alloy core changes the crystalline structure of the minerals in water..."

Whole-house supply– For this installation Combimate should be plumbed in after the stop-valve on the cold water supply to the premises. The white removable divider tray should be removed from inside the Combimate dome in a whole house installation so that the dome can be completely filled with Combiphos (the full 800g bag contents). Sadly, one of the ways to make something appear as if it is some sort of technological marvel is to charge a high price for it. The high price lends credibility to the claims in some ways. Richi, I will indeed forgive your scepticism! Our 'alloy core changes the crystalline structure of the minerals in water..." ' claim is valid. We use a patented alloy to very simply and reliably change water's Calcium Carbonate content from its limescale-creating Calcite form into another Calcium Carbonate polymorph; Aragonite. Aragonite is physically unable to bond to surfaces or itself. 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. You can remove pretty much everything from water with reverse osmosis, but the water tastes pretty awful, it seems we need some mineral content to make water taste OK.Health and safety– Combiphos is tasteless and odourless and contains a polyphosphate compound which is classified by the WHO as a ‘food-grade’ additive. The quantity, size and hardness of the spheres control the amount of Combiphos released. Typically this is less than 3 ppm (parts per million) of phosphate in treated water and perfectly safe for human consumption. We ensure our descriptions of effects are responsibly described whilst recognising they can vary for different consumers. It is the only system in the UK that doesn't release chemicals into your water, whilst using no energy. This differentiates Halcyan from such systems as Aquabion or Kinetico. 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. 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.
