FAQs - Scale Control Water 10" Filter Cartridge

How does this scale control cartridge work?

This cartridge uses food-grade polyphosphate to help reduce the effects of limescale by keeping hardness minerals suspended in the water. This helps prevent scale from adhering to pipework, taps, boilers and household appliances.

Will this cartridge soften my water?

No. A scale control cartridge does not remove calcium and magnesium from the water like a traditional water softener. Instead, it helps reduce limescale build-up while retaining the natural minerals present in the water.

How often should I replace the cartridge?

Replacement frequency will depend on water usage and hardness levels. Regular cartridge replacement is recommended to maintain effective scale control and ensure continued protection of appliances and plumbing systems.
