Every business should reduce hard
scale in water supplies. Hard scale
will increase energy consumption
and maintenance costs. It also
encourages the growth of legionella
and causes unsightly surfaces.

Water softening
This is the traditional approach. It exchanges calcium for sodium to generate soft
water but also salt water during regeneration that may harm the environment
upon discharge. The regeneration cycle, which can be daily, also wastes
considerable amounts of water. Servicing and delivery of salt bags can make
softening an expensive process as well as increasing the carbon footprint. Water
softening is rarely used in drinking water due to health concerns and this prevents
water softening from providing complete site protection.
Physical water conditioning
This is the modern approach. It promises complete site protection against hard
scale without adding chemicals to the water or stripping it of minerals. It doesn’t
waste water and has minimal maintenance costs. Until now, the results from
physical water conditioners have often not matched expectation.
Now an advanced technology is available that exceeds expectation. Complete
site protection is available from a single unit installed in the incoming mains cold
supply. Contra Calc incorporates the latest advances in physical water conditioning.
This includes:
The dedicated energy field generated
by Contra Calc separates calcium from
its molecular state and converts it
to a small, amorphous and neutrally
charged form that will not adhere to
surfaces as hard scale. Pre-existing
hard scale is gradually and safely
dissolved through the action of natural
elements that are liberated during the
calcium conversion process. It works
every time, under all conditions and up
to near boiling point. (100°Celsius)
Contra Calc is clean technology that
uses no chemicals and requires no
servicing. Every Contra Calc is supplied
with an automatic 24/7 water leak

l In-flow electrode design ensures the energy field is applied at the
required alignment angle to effect water molecules
l Variable electrical frequencies applied by optimal sequencing
can treat variable flow conditions and is the result of
decades of research and testing
detection feature that could save
thousands of litres in undetected water
leaks and is completed by an integral
particle filter to stop large particles
such as rust from entering the building.
The particle filter has a unique back
flush facility that clears the filter either
manually or automatically via a solenoid
and timer.
Contra Calc is an indispensable and
‘must have’ technology for complete
site protection against hard scale, large
particles and water leaks. It will save
maintenance costs and lower your
carbon footprint at the same time.
Part G of Building Regulations recommends
that commercial sites in hard water areas take
measures to reduce hard scale. The current
options for commercial sites are water softening
or the physical conditioning of water.
