By utilizing advanced electrolytic technology, this device extends the operational lifespan of heating components and restores energy efficiency, though it is specifically designed for 15mm copper piping systems and requires professional installation to ensure compliance with building regulations.

No, it prevents limescale from forming and adhering to surfaces. It does not remove existing calcium content.
No, the internal electrolytic core is designed for a long service life and does not require periodic replacement.
The 15mm compression fitting is standard for copper. If using plastic pipe, ensure the correct inserts are used to maintain structural integrity at the connection point.
Yes, the process is physical rather than chemical, and it does not change the chemical composition or potability of the water.
It should be fitted on the cold water supply pipe serving the boiler or the specific appliance you wish to protect.
Ensure the pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and the olive is seated correctly before tightening the nut further.
Verify that the unit was installed in the correct orientation and that no debris from the pipe cutting process is obstructing the flow path.
Installation Requirements
The Pbe/15/cps is designed for 15mm compression fittings. It should be installed on the cold water supply line, ideally before the appliance it is intended to protect. Ensure the unit is installed in the correct flow direction as indicated by the casing. Because this involves breaking into the water supply, it is recommended that a qualified plumber performs the installation to prevent leaks and ensure compliance with regional water bylaws.
Compatibility
Care
Once the unit is correctly installed, it is essentially maintenance-free. There are no replaceable filters or chemical cartridges. It is advised to inspect the compression joints during routine annual boiler servicing to ensure no slow leaks have developed due to vibrations or thermal expansion.
