Do you know what these pipe connections are?

[AJO]

Hi all

I moved into a new house last year and under the kitchen sink the pipework has what looks like 2 filter connections but I have never seen these before and having ploughed through the internet I can't find any products that look similar. Even went into a couple of stores including Selco and Wickes asked staff and no one had a clue.

Does anyone know what they are? I want to know if its something that needs regular replacement, new parts etc.

Thanks

Agreed no servicing required

Thank you. So they just stay attached permanently and no regular action is needed for them. Thought they were some sort of water filters and softener. Oh well.

As the guys have said it's an anti-flood device. There is hose within a hose and if the inner hose bursts, the outer hose fills with water eventually reaching that "control box" looking thing which has some kind of float valve I believe and that shuts off the supply to the leaky hose within.

Also incorporates a scale reducer.

Really, Can you prove this? I don’t see any manufacturer wasting money on snake oil products... as the only scale reducer small enough to fit, would be a magnetic item

One of the reason I thought it might by a water softener is that when I first moved in the water was clear. Washing glasses and cutlery left no water stains which I used to get a lot in my old house in the same area. Its a very hard water region. Now seem to get more and more water stains which us why i thought it maybe something that needed replacement/new filter etc.

Can't quite work out why the water seemed the first few months but now hard again. How can i confirm if it has a scale reducer?
