Recyclable... ... you send back the old cartridges. We can re-use them.
This unit is for the larger property with flow rates of up to 40 litres a minute. It both softens and filters your water.
We offer you this combination because water softeners are not water filters. Unlike filters, softeners don't improve the taste of the water.
So if you only have a water softener you will still be drinking and bathing in chlorinated water.
Now we can combine your water de-scaling needs with a powerful Whole House water filter. This will remove unpleasant tasting chlorine and greatly improve the quality of your drinking AND bathing experience.
Combined these give you a unique solution: a water softener PLUS filter that gives you all the benefits of scale-free water with mineral bottle drinking quality water throughout your property.
Economical - The Filter cartridge costs EUR 276 to replace and last for 12 months.
The Scale Centurion cartridges cost EUR 385 to replace and last for 2 years.

How Long does the Filter last?
There are two sets of cartridges. One has the Scale Centurion softener media. The second has the whole of house filter media
1) The Scale Centurion softener media will last you for at least 2 years - most likely three or more. (It might be longer depending on your local water conditions. You'll know when it's time to change because you'll see scale slowly building up in your kettle etc).
The replacement anti-scale media cartridges cost just EUR 385. (They will last you a further 2 plus years ie the same time as the originals did).
We will send you a free reminder when it is around the time to renew your softener. All you have to do is change the cartridge. It only takes a few minutes.
2) The whole of house filter media will last 12 months.
After 12 months we send you a free reminder. All you have to do is change the cartridge. (it's similar to changing a large lightbulb - it should only take a few minutes at most.
Your new cartridge costs EUR 276 and will last you a further 12 months. So you get beautifully filtered water throughout your home for less than EUR 2 per week!
All you have to do is change the cartridge. It only takes a few minutes.
No maintenance is required during this time.

Fully Tested and Certified
Scale Centurion softener media has been fully tested using the DVGW-W512 protocol. (DVGW is the top gas and water industry certification body in Europe). It has also has been fully tested by Arizona State University against the international protocol for scale prevention. Achieved a 99.6% effectiveness rating - the only non-salt based anti scale technology to do so.
Background
Until recently the merits of the various alternatives to salt-based water softeners weren't known for sure. There was a lot of anecdotal evidence - and the waters were muddied by rival systems competing in a war of words. However that changed with a publicly funded study by Arizona State University and others*, where four alternative technologies were tested.
Why the Official Test was Carried Out
There is a major issue with using salt softeners in the Southwest United States - i.e. California, Arizona, etc. - where most of the water supply is classified as "hard", i.e. results in scale build up.
Many households use salt based water softeners to combat this. The problem is that water is very scarce.
Re-use / reclamation is an important water conservation measure. However the backwashing required for salt based softeners means the water becomes too salty to be reused.
This is why the State of California decided to restrict salt based
water softeners.
Before doing so they conducted a major study of alternative treatment devices to identify credible alternatives that would reduce scale without salt.
Results of the Official Test The testing methodology used the German DVGW-W512 protocol. At the lowest challenge (TDS 479 and CaC03 180) Scale Centurion technology had an efficiency of 99.6% and at the highest challenge (TDS 1200 and CaC03 500) 90% efficiency. In all water samples, other alternative devices (water conditioners) only achieved 50% and below, with electro/magnetic being the worst. Scale Centurion technology was judged to be exceptionally efficient. It saves money, saves water and does not harm the environment. "The evidence shows that [Scale Centurion] technology is equally as efficient as ion exchange [i.e. salt] water softeners at preventing the formation of scale, and has the added benefits of no salt use, no water waste from regeneration, and importantly, no harmful brine discharge into drains, groundwater and the wider environment". * The study was funded by the WateReuse Research Foundation in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the California State Water Resources Control Board, the California Energy Commission, and the California Department of Water Resources.

Saltless Water Softener Alternative
The new alternative to traditional salt softeners
Amazing new fully tested and officially proven technology
Capable of 99.6% Scale prevention and removal
No salt or chemicals needed. No wasted water. Extremely efficient - works throughout the UK regardless of hardness levels.
Want an end to your "Hard Water" Problems?
Simply install this powerful new salt free Scale Control Media on your water supply today and get maintenance-free scale-free water. Scale Centurion dissolves both pre-existing calcium scale deposits and protects you from damaging hard water deposits...forever!
There are many benefits to softening your water.
Hard water comprises significant quantities of dissolved lime and minerals and soon causes scale to build up on anything that comes into contact with it, from sinks and toilets to shower heads and taps.
It not only looks messy but it costs you money by damaging your water-using appliances and pumps and reducing the efficiency of your water boiler.
It also puts that nasty film / scum on your tea and coffee.
Plus it is bad for people with skin conditions, for example, eczema.
Traditional water softeners do a good job at combating hardness / scale. But they have several problems / disadvantages. We'll tell you about the great new alternative to the traditional salt softeners, but first, here are some comparisons between salt / non-salt softeners.
Please note: This great new product is technically a water "de-scaler", not a softener - because in the industry the term "softener" is usually associated with salt softening.
However, this new technology has all the benefits of a traditional softener. For example, it fights scale highly effectively and the water feels and acts like softened water. (See the full list of comparisons just below).
While it's not a "salt softener" we use the term "softener" in its general sense because this is what people understand - ie that a softener reduces
scale - which is what the product does. Plus this term is what the
public understands and searches for when looking for a solution to their
scale problems.
Checkout these direct comparisons between salt / no salt water conditioners
Traditional salt-softened water
is considered unsafe to drink. High salt / sodium in your diet leads to
raised blood pressure. This is known to be a leading source of disease
and threatens both the heart and kidneys.
UK
Drinking Water Regulations specify that the salt content must be below
200mg/l. However, it will exceed this in many parts of the UK, where the
drinking water is very hard and more salt is needed to combat it.
New Salt-less Water Softeners do not have this problem. Your water is perfectly safe to drink at all times.
Traditional Water Softeners require large quantities of salt - which is an ongoing cost (usually, at least, £100 per year).
This involves hauling / loading heavy salt bags and, of course, the constant maintenance of adding it to the machine regularly. (Typical salt usage is about 24 bags per year but can easily be double that - depending on local water hardness).
New Salt-less Water Softener: No maintenance is required at all. Just fit it and forget.
Traditional Water Softeners waste water (average water flushed away is 8L per day, every day for five years).
Unfortunately, not only is waste water costly, it is also bad for the environment due to it being high in sodium / brine. (Salt discharged by softeners is not removed by water treatment plants and so flows right back into the water sources).
New Salt-less Water Softeners don't require any wasteful regeneration or back washing.
Traditional Water Softeners need electric power. This costs money but also restricts where it can be sited.
Salt-free Water Softeners require no power. This is a major advantage for some in that they can be used in remote locations.
Traditional Water Softeners require annual servicing - which is rarely free!
Salt-free Water Softeners require no servicing.
Salt Softened water can be corrosive to copper pipes and some appliances.
Saltless Water Softening does not have this problem.
Some might argue that a salt softener works better in the following ways
Better lathering / less soap required? Salt free softening reportedly results in improved soap lathering. We’d say overall that salt softeners would score an A here vs a B for salt free.
A “softer” feel to water? Salt
softeners do seem to create a more slippery feel to the water. Salt
free systems also reportedly result in this (ie our one is said to "act
and feel like softened water) but it's generally felt this is to a
lesser degree. (Some people don’t notice this with either technology).
But if you do, and you like it, then salt softeners seem to do this
better.
Better for hair and skin? This
is a claim that is hard to substantiate or provide a comparison for.
Users of our salt free system report the same benefits - but this might
also be because it is often twinned with a carbon and ceramic filter
which reduces the "harshness" of the water. Or it might be the salt free
softening itself.
Good question. There are a couple of main reasons. First the "softener industry" makes a lot of money from selling salt softeners.These are fairly low-tech, relatively inexpensive items that can be sold for many hundreds of pounds to the unsuspecting public - sometimes for thousands by door-to-door sales forces.
Added to this is the ongoing profit to be made from supplying the salt and subsequent "service calls". So there is a considerable vested interest in keeping the salt softening bandwagon going.
The other reason is that despite a lot of serious effort to find the "holy grail" of an effective non salt solution there hasn't been a totally satisfactory alternative - until very recently. Now, for the first time, we are delighted to bring this fully tested proven solution to the market.
Scale Centurion is simply a powder type media that your water runs through. It doesn't require any salt supplies or other maintenance. You simply fit and forget it until it needs replacing after at least two years (depends on your local water quality).
When tested by a fully independent US university laboratory this amazing new material achieved an anti-scale effectiveness rating of over 99% - the only non salt based anti-scale technology to do so.
More Benefits of Scale Centurion
Extends the life and efficiency of your dishwashers, hot water heaters, washing machines, shower heads and other equipment. Heating systems work at peak efficiency saving fuel costs. No treatment chemicals required. Increases the efficiency of soaps and cleansers. Just as effective as a salt water softener (which costs between £500 and £3000 or more). No electricity required.
Renewing / Changing My Softener
How will I Know When to Renew
The Scale Centurion softener media will last you for at least 2 years - most likely three or more. (It might be longer depending on your local water conditions).
You'll know when it's time to change because you'll see scale slowly building up in your kettle etc.
During this time, you won't need to do anything but sit back and enjoy the benefits of this great anti-scale solution.
We will send you a free reminder when it is around the time to renew your softener.
All you have to do is change the cartridge. It only takes a few minutes.
How Much Does it Cost to Renew?
The replacement anti-scale media costs just EUR 200. (It will last you a further 2 plus years, i.e. the same time as the original did).
What's In It and How Does it Work?
Our Scale Centurion is a proven and fully tested technology.
It works by extracting harmful dissolved limescale from your water via a patented process.
The Scale Centurion beads mimic the natural tendency of dissolved limescale to crystallise by forming microscopic hard crystals on the media surface. But it accelerates the process before the scale can stick to pipe and other surfaces further downstream.
Once the microscopic crystals grow large enough, they are freed from the surface by the water pressure / flow.
When the Scale Centurion treated water dries on surfaces, these crystals form a fine residue that is easily wiped off without any need for scouring cleansers. Often you won't see any residue at all.
Please note our salt fee softeners do NOT use Polyphosphates. These remove only 81% of Scale, release chemicals into the water and require regular replacement.
The unique media in our softeners create a ceramic template which allows the calcium ions to form into non-scaling crystals (guaranteed).
Fitting the Unit
This is an easy job for a plumber or a handyman. It should take them about an hour or two - depending on how much pipe work needs to be altered.
If you are good at DIY you could do it yourself.
Full instructions are supplied and support is available - though it's highly unlikely this will be required.
