Scalemaster Magnetic Scale Inhibitors
Scalemaster works when water flows through the inhibitor, and it crosses a magnetic field. This magnetic field causes the tiny crystals to adhere to each other altering their shape and size rendering them less likely to attach to plumbing. The magnetic attraction is not permanent, and wears off very quickly when water is stored for any length of time. For this reason Scalemaster recommend that the Magnetic Inhibitors should not be selected for whole house protection.

Scalemaster Electrolytic Scale Inhibitors
When hard water is heated, the large amounts of dissolved chemicals present in the water react producing tiny crystals. Like snowflakes they can be large or small. In the case of limescale the small ones are known as calcite, the larger aragonite. Calcite crystals in addition to being small tend to stick both to each other and to the inside of pipes etc.
On the other hand the aragonite crystals are less sticky and prefer to remain naturally in the water. The key to the scalemaster approach is making aragonite dominant and controlling calcite.
The electrolytic process pioneered by Scalemaster some years ago works by hindering calcite crystal formation so that the crystals formed are of the more plumbing friendly aragonite variety.

Scalemaster Digital Scale Inhibitors
Digisonic water conditioners provide digital scale protection by way of an aerial and generator, transmitting high frequency Electro-magnetic signals to treat water prior to heating. The signal creates accelerated coagulation of the scale forming particles and irregular crysallinity.
When heated, such crystals are rendered less capable of adhering to surfaces such as pipework and heat exchangers and thus are swept from the system via normal hot water call off.
Consequent to the altered crystal phase the particle/liquid equilibrium is upset, this leads to the gradual elimination of existing limescale build up.
