How it works

Water-King uses pre-programed microchips to transmit pulses of electrical charge into the water at varying frequencies and amplitudes. These ‘signals’ cause some of the minerals in the water to form sub-microscopic clusters. When a ‘scaling event’ occurs, like the water being heated, these clusters act as nucleation seeds upon which the calcium carbonate (limescale) precipitates. Instead of the hard encrustation that normally forms on pipes, heat exchangers and elements when water is heated the precipitation takes the form of tiny calcium carbonate crystals that float suspended in the water. These ultra-fine crystals are simply carried away with the flowing water.

Unlike other products that only treat water as it passes through them, the signal generated by Water-King is continuously transmitted through the water, both upstream (back signal) and downstream, irrespective of flow. This means that appliances upstream of the unit can also be treated, although the signal won’t work as effectively through pumps and storage cisterns.

Installing Water-King units tactically, after pumps and tanks, will ensure continuous signal transmission is delivered to all of the water all of the time. There is no reliance on a temporary memory effect to treat downstream services and no risk of the nucleation clusters degrading before a scaling event occurs.
