12,800 Gauss Max Power magnetic anti-limescale device to protect your home from limescale

Magnetic limescale prevention solution for the home

The limescale in the water can cause limescale build-up in pipes, water heaters and household appliances. The 12,800 Gauss Max Power magnetic limescale inhibitor offers a simple and eco-friendly solution to reduce limescale build-up throughout the home.

Unlike a traditional water softener, this system operates without salt, electricity or maintenance. It works by using a powerful magnetic field to alter the structure of limescale crystals, thereby preventing them from building up in the pipes.

Simple installation of the magnetic limescale inhibitor on the main water pipe to protect the whole house.

Why install a magnetic limescale inhibitor in a house?

In many areas, the water is naturally rich in calcium and magnesium. This hard water can cause limescale to build up in pipes and household appliances.

• scale build-up in water heaters
• reduced flow rate in the pipes
• excessive energy consumption by appliances
• white marks on taps and surfaces
• faster wear and tear on household appliances

Limescale can build up in appliances and reduce their performance over time.

How does a magnetic limescale inhibitor work?

The device contains very powerful neodymium magnets that create a magnetic field around the pipe. When water flows through this area, the crystalline structure of the calcium carbonate is altered.

The limescale then becomes less likely to build up and is less likely to settle on surfaces such as heating elements, pipes, taps or shower screens.

The benefits of the 12800 Gauss Max Power model

• high magnetic strength
• quick installation in just a few minutes
• no electrical connection
• no maintenance required
• an eco-friendly solution for limescale
• suitable for copper, PER and multilayer

Where should the magnetic limescale inhibitor be installed?

For maximum effectiveness, we recommend installing the magnetic limescale inhibitor on the main water supply pipe. This ensures that all the water in the house passes through the magnetic field before reaching the appliances.

• water heater
• lingerie
• dishwasher
• taps and fittings
• shower and bathroom

Magnetic limescale inhibitor or water softener?

A practical solution for tackling limescale on a daily basis

The 12,800 Gauss Max Power magnetic limescale inhibitor is particularly well suited to households looking for a long-term solution to minimise the effects of limescale without having to install a bulky or cumbersome system.

Fewer limescale deposits build up on surfaces exposed to hard water on a daily basis.

Frequently asked questions about magnetic limescale inhibitors

Assembly instructions

• The water softener must be installed on the main water supply pipe, either before or after the meter.
• There is no specific order in which to assemble it.
• One of the system’s brackets is already fitted with nuts; it must be positioned against the wall.
• The additional nuts supplied are to be used on the side of the screw heads.
• They allow the two shells to be clamped together when there isn't much space, so that the screws don't protrude from the shells.
• The larger the pipe diameter, the greater the gap between the shells will be.
• This does not affect performance; the system is designed so that the magnets are always as close as possible to the pipe.
• The magnets must attract each other to form a magnetic barrier perpendicular to the flow of water.

Specific operating conditions

This system can be fitted to all types of non-magnetic pipes. It can therefore be used on plastic, copper, aluminium pipes, etc.

You can check whether your hose is compatible using a small magnet or a fridge magnet:

• If the magnet is not attracted to the pipe, it is compatible.

If the pipe isn’t compatible, the solution is to make a sleeve about ten centimetres long using a compatible pipe. This could also be a good opportunity to fit a filter if you don’t already have one.

The magnetic field does not cause any problems with other common electrical appliances. You simply need to be careful with small devices such as watches, calculators or magnetic bank cards if they are placed nearby.

It is advisable to install the system as close as possible to the equipment requiring protection against limescale. Beyond 40 metres, performance will be significantly reduced.

Fitting the limescale filter after the filter

Magnetic limescale inhibitors only prevent limescale from forming; they do not instantly remove limescale deposits from the water supply system.

Nor do they remove sludge, sand and other impurities that also come from the mains supply.

Over time, iron filings or particles may also accumulate on the magnet, reducing its effectiveness. This is why we recommend using a filter to trap these particles and improve the overall quality of your water.

Technical diagram of the device

• Dimensions: 90 x 60 x 38 mm
• Minimum distance between the pipe and the wall: 11 mm
• For pipes with an external diameter of: 16 to 32 mm
• Maximum water flow rate: 28 l/min, or 1.68 m³/h

The main water supply pipe is often oversized. This is why the system can be installed on pipes up to 32 mm in diameter, but the maximum water flow rate it can handle should not exceed 28 l/min, which corresponds to a pipe with an internal diameter of 25 mm.

If the water flow is higher or the water is harder, installing multiple units may improve efficiency.

For pipes with a diameter of 16 mm or less, you will need to wrap a few turns of electrical tape or similar around the pipe to compensate for any play.
