Product Information

Full details

This Hexeal Deionised Water 1000L IBC is designed for users in hard water areas seeking to protect their appliances and achieve streak-free results. Its primary benefit is the elimination of limescale build-up and corrosion in appliances like steam irons and car cooling systems. A potential caveat is that it's a large volume (1000L), requiring adequate storage space. Key features include its high purity, versatility for household, automotive, and lab use, and its role in extending appliance lifespan.

FAQs

Can I drink Hexeal Deionised Water?

No, deionised water is not intended for drinking or consumption. It lacks essential minerals found in tap water and can potentially leach minerals from the body.

How does deionised water prevent limescale?

Deionised water has had its mineral ions (like calcium and magnesium) removed. These ions are what cause limescale when heated or evaporated, so their absence prevents scale formation.

What is the shelf life of deionised water in the IBC?

When stored correctly (cool, dry, out of direct sunlight), the deionised water typically maintains its purity for an extended period. However, check for any potential contamination or algae growth before critical use.

Can I use this deionised water for aquariums?

No, deionised water is not suitable for most aquariums as fish and aquatic plants require specific dissolved minerals in the water for survival. It would need to be remineralised first.

How is the purity of the water measured?

Purity is typically measured in electrical conductivity (µS/cm). Hexeal's deionised water is typically tested at less than 1-5 µS/cm, indicating a very low concentration of dissolved ions.

Do I need special equipment to use the 1000L IBC?

Yes, a 1000L IBC container usually requires specific handling equipment like a forklift for movement and a compatible pump or valve system for dispensing the water.

Troubleshooting

Scale build-up still occurring in appliance.

Ensure you are exclusively using deionised water and not mixing it with tap water. Check if the appliance has internal components that may have already accumulated scale which needs further cleaning cycles.

Streaks on windows after cleaning.

Ensure the cleaning cloth or applicator is clean and free from residues. For best results, use a dedicated window cleaning cloth or squeegee and work in suitable weather conditions to avoid rapid drying.

Difficulty dispensing water from IBC.

Ensure the IBC valve is fully open and the connection for the dispensing pump or tap is secure and properly attached. Check for any blockages in the dispensing mechanism.

Cloudy water in the IBC.

This can sometimes occur due to algae growth if exposed to light or contamination. While purity levels may be affected, for non-critical uses like window cleaning, it might still be usable. For critical applications like lab use or automotive systems, a fresh supply may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends the lifespan of appliances by preventing limescale.
  • Provides a streak-free finish on windows and glass.
  • Versatile use in household, automotive, and laboratory settings.
  • Reduces the risk of corrosion in sensitive systems.
  • High purity suitable for precise applications.

Cons

  • Large 1000L volume may be excessive for some users.
  • Requires appropriate storage facilities for the IBC container.
  • Not intended for drinking or general consumption.
  • May require specific pumping or dispensing equipment for the IBC.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The 1000L IBC container is designed for industrial or commercial use and typically requires a forklift or suitable lifting equipment for relocation. Dispensing the water will require a compatible pump or valve system. Ensure the dispensing area is clean and free from contaminants.

Compatibility: This deionised water is compatible with all standard steam irons, steam mops, car batteries, engine cooling systems, windscreen wiper fluid systems, and laboratory equipment. It is intended as a replacement for tap water in these applications.

Care: Store the IBC in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain water purity. Keep the dispensing nozzle clean. While deionised water is pure, it is not potable and should not be consumed. After use, ensure any containers it is transferred into are clean.
