hi all would really appreciate some help..
I do around about 500 new houses per year, all in the same area and all with the same equipment specification. I have one site that im having on going scale problems on the dhw side. the water hardness is 250mg/l , quite low for my area.... im using the same combination boiler and the same scale reducer as everywhere else but im continuosly having to remove scale from shower filters boilter filters etc..
HELP
 
Its quite obvious , I design plumbing and heating stuff, so principles apply thus if that which you normally
install and usually is ok and on this site does not work you really need to step back from it and go thro every component of this
problem,supply inc parts, application installation and operation to actually establish where this problem lies. ...I am quite happy to help you FOC just pm
me.on ukpf ..Rob Foster aka centralheatking
 
Thanks for the advice lads...I've just discovered to my horror that for the first phase on this site I was supplied calglow scale reduces instead of the scale master gold I use every where else...as this is the first time I've had this problem and the first time I've used this scale reducer I'm thinking I've found the answer

Chking vindicated , however S. Bowman I am always intrested in comparing products and It seems that the Calglow unit is
U/s compared to,the scalemaster gold. pm me if you
have time ...Rob Foster aka
