Domestic Use

Hard Water Problems

Approximately 60% of people in the UK live in hard water areas. This means that there are high levels of calcium present in the water we use for drinking, washing and heating our homes. This calcium is healthy for us. However, when the water is heated, it attaches to the nearest surface causing scale build-ups, which:

  • increase our heating costs
  • increase the need for appliance maintenance
  • leave unsightly calcium stains on surfaces

Industry Proven

Designed, developed and used in industry, the Scalewatcher™ ENiGMA Electronic Descaler is a successful product that has helped such industry leaders as Mars, Guy's Hospital, BBC, Mid Kent Water, Nissan Cars (UK), Care Haven Nursing Homes.

Now available for the home, this innovative digital product uses tried and tested technology to remove scale by a proven 25% more than other leading electronic scale removers.

Clear Benefits

Scalewatcher™ ENiGMA gives similar benefits to conventional water softeners; after just four months quality is improved with water retaining its natural healthy minerals. This means that:

  • Money is saved
  • Unsightly stains on sinks, basins and sanitary ware will be easier to wipe away
  • Hot water systems will heat up faster
  • Limescale no longer blocks pipes and shower heads
  • Dishwashers, washing machines, kettles and other water fed appliances operate efficiently
  • Soap and detergents produce less scum and work more effectively
  • Clothes retain softness and colour
  • Eczema sufferers are relieved from the harsh effects of hard water



How it works

By passing a digital signal through the water supply before it is heated, Scalewatcher™ ENiGMA stops the calcium forming on the pipe surface. Instead, the crystals form on other naturally occurring ions, such as zinc, in the water. These then remain in suspension until flushed to drain. When water is heated under normal conditions, any calcium present crystallises and sticks to the nearest surface. This typically occurs in pipes, kettles or shower-heads. Ultimately, this results in limited water flow and damage.

Scalewatcher™ ENiGMA stops scale forming - and removes old scale from your system!
