Scott,
I bought one of these about 6 months ago and it does seem to
have
done the trick. You attach the main unit via clips to your main inlet pipe,
then wrap one set of coils clockwise and the second set anticlockwise about
20cm further on down the pipe. The
unit
cost £39.95 and was actually a readers offer via The Sun newspaper - I am
sure they will still be selling these. If not I can get the details of the
unit
this evening.

Living in a horrendously
hard
water area, I'd be interested in
knowing what this product is.
Thanks.

Hi Phil
My parents moved into a bungalow of similar
age.
They fitted one of the
electronic devices. It simply plugs into the
mains
and you wrap a wire a few
turns around one of the pipes. It worked
wonders
and did descale all the
pipes etc. It was most noticeable in one of
the
old cisterns were you could
see the thick build up but after a few months
it
was totally clean. All the
unit does it output different frequencies into
the
wire up to a few KHz. I
was going to build a unit with a PIC but never
got
around to it. If you're
interested I'll find out the name and model
etc.

Heating...
I have a 30 year old house with 30 year old
(microbore) central heating
... We also live in a hard water
area.
I had been thinking of sticking some heating
system descaler but it had
been mentioned to me that the stuff can
frequently
open up leaks that
had previously been sealed with scale so up to
now
I have resisted.
I have since found out that our neighbours two
doors down had their
microbore system completely fur up last year
and
it cost them £800 to
have it pressure flushed to get rid of the
buildup
so does anyone have
any recommendations for what to use to
descale/defur a central heating
system? (I'll be hitting B&Q later today
for a
bog conversion kit so B&Q
sourced product would be an
advantage!)
Phil
