FAQs
How often do I need to change the filter cartridges?
The filter cartridges are designed to last approximately one year under normal usage conditions. However, water quality can vary, so monitor your water flow and taste.
Does this system remove all minerals from the water?
No, the Scaleout Advance SA-28 focuses on preventing limescale formation and removing contaminants like chlorine. It does not typically remove beneficial minerals from the water.
Do I need electricity or a drain for this system?
No, the system operates without the need for electricity or a drain, making installation simpler and more versatile.
What is the warranty period for the Monarch Scaleout Advance SA-28?
The system comes with a 5-year warranty on parts and a 2-year warranty on labour.
Can this system remove existing scale from my pipes?
Yes, while its primary function is prevention, the system's operation and improved water flow can help gradually break down and remove existing scale deposits.
What is the purpose of the anti-microbial filter housing?
The anti-microbial properties of the housing help to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microbes within the filter system, contributing to enhanced water safety and hygiene.
Is professional installation required?
While the system is designed for ease of installation, professional installation by a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure proper connection and optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
No water flow after installation
Ensure the main water valve is fully open and that no kinks are present in the flexible hoses, if used.
Reduced water pressure
Check for any debris in the filter housing or upstream/downstream connections. Ensure the cartridges are correctly seated. Existing scale may still be present in downstream pipes; gradual removal will improve pressure over time.
Water still tastes or smells of chlorine
The filter cartridges may need replacing if they have reached their saturation point.
Leaking from connections
Ensure all fittings are securely tightened using appropriate plumbing tape or sealant where necessary. Check O-rings for damage or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Monarch Scaleout Advance SA-28 is designed for ease of installation. It connects directly into your main water line using the provided 28mm fittings. No drain lines or electrical power outlets are necessary. Ensure you have basic plumbing tools and understand your home's water supply configuration. For optimal results, installation by a qualified plumber is recommended.
Compatibility: This system is compatible with standard 28mm plumbing. It is suitable for all whole-house applications, protecting kitchens, bathrooms, and all connected water-using appliances.
Care: The primary care requirement is the annual replacement of the filter cartridges. Monitor water quality and flow. If you notice a decline in water taste, smell, or flow rate, it may indicate the cartridges need changing sooner than the one-year interval. The anti-microbial filter housing requires no special cleaning but should be inspected during cartridge changes.
