The in-line KeyPlumb Electrolytic Scale Reducer range uses electrolytic principles to prevent the build-up of scale throughout the home, and remains effective over many years dependent on water usage.
It works by altering the structure of the hardness salts, providing benefits to a range of appliances from kettles to showers and boilers offering whole house protection against scale.
KeyPlumb Inline can be fitted onto the hot or cold water lines. It comes with compression fittings as standard and does not require earth bonding.

Once the unit has been installed you can sit back and relax as it will continue to work day and night without the need for regular maintenance.
Lime scale affects a large number of households in the UK. Scale buildup on copper pipes and in hot water cylinders can cause them to become inefficient and expensive to run.
The scale inhibitor alters the makeup of the lime scale so it does not stick to the inside of pipes and appliances.
You’re effectively reducing the grime in your pipe work, encouraging a better flow rate and increasing the life of your appliances. The most important benefit from a cost perspective is that using a scale inhibitor will require no maintenance, and your household bills will be reduced as your appliances will receive a more effective supply, it also extends the life of household hot water appliances such as shower units and hot water cylinders, therefore saving you money.
Once fitted, the electrolytic scale inhibitor needs no electricity supply, batteries, magnets or salt.

Why fit an Electrolytic Scale Reducer?
Part L of schedule 1 of the Building Regulations (England & Wales) is concerned with the conservation of fuel and power in buildings. For dwellings, the regulations are supported by approved documents L1A (new dwellings) and L1B (existing dwellings). These documents give minimum provisions for boiler efficiency, system circulation, hot water storage, system preparation and commissioning of gas-fired, oil-fired and solid fuel systems together with electric wet central heating systems.
They state “Where the mains water hardness exceeds 200ppm, provision should be made to treat the feed water to water heaters and the hot water circuit of combination boilers to reduce the rate of accumulation of limescale and the consequent reduction in energy efficiency.”
Therefore fitting an Electrolytic Scale Reducer fulfils compliance with the regulations for both new and existing dwellings.
How do Electrolytic Scale Reducers work?
The copper body (cathode) and internal zinc anode which are connected via ‘mains’ water (electrolyte) work as a small battery to change the structure of hardness salts. As charged zinc ions are emitted from the anode they form a nucleation site for colloidal particles (such as hardness salts) to group around, rather than clinging to heat exchangers or pipe-work.
Electrolytic Scale Reducers are not water softeners; they induce coagulation, but the hardness remains constant.
In areas where irritating hard deposits form in the shower head or on the kettle element, Electrolytic Scale Reducers work as water conditioners. Any scale that does form will be less tenacious and easily removed.
Note: Water Utilities cannot be held responsible for the quality of water passed from this unit.

This Electrolytic Scale Reducer has a serviceable life of between two and ten years (subject to local water hardness) after which time the anode will cease to function and the water conditioning effect will subside. You will notice that tenacious scale begins to form on the kettle element and shower head again. It’s now time to replace the Electrolytic Scale Reducer with a new unit.
