ACP20 Water Conditioner & Corrosion Inhibitor 22mm 3/4" (Advanced Hydro ACP 20)

Is Hard Water A Problem For Your Home?

Hard water is rich in minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and Silica, which can solidify and lead to the formation of scale. Hard water is considered damaging, as it tends to cause excessive limescale build-up in water pipes, kitchen appliances and heating systems, affecting their efficiency and lifespan. From fading laundry, dishwasher spots on glasses and hard-to-clean bathrooms to clogged pipes, hard water problems require tackling with a proven water conditioner that has been independently tested and verified as an effective solution. A water conditioner may even alleviate skin conditions and irritation often caused by limescale.

The Solution: ACP 20 Water Conditioner & Corrosion Inhibitor

The ACP 20 is an innovative UK designed and manufactured electrolytic solution that addresses the problem of water hardness with an easy-to-fit, maintenance free, space saving, self contained unit. This salt and chemical free water conditioner works by causing a natural chemical reaction to occur between the troublesome minerals and harmless zinc ions released by the APC 20. All this happens without the use of electricity, chemicals or magnets. Nor does the ACP use any filtration process that would otherwise strip out healthy minerals from the water.

What Happens To The Minerals?

The majority of the scale causing minerals form as Aragonite (rather than Calcite) which remain in suspension and simply end up flushing out through the system, reducing limescale build-up on the internal surfaces of pipes, boilers, elements and appliances, which in turn reduces corrosion where metal may become eroded beneath the scale. The ACP 20 saltless water conditioner uses proven Zinc anode-based water conditioning technology with no negative affects on the safety or quality of the water (WRAS Approved for drinking). It works by releasing small quantities of Zinc ions into the water, using an electrolytic process via a sacrificial Zinc anode. The ACP 20 is manufactured using high purity (99.9% plus) zinc anode, giving it better performance and a longer lifespan.

Key Features:

• Cost-effective, fit-and-forget water treatment over a 10 year period with reduced appliance breakdown and maintenance bills and without the headache of storing and constantly replenishing with salt.
• Reduces energy costs as, according to British Water, every 1.6mm of scale build-up in your heating system can cause a 12% loss in heating efficiency.
• Environmentally friendly with no need for salt or chemicals along with an improved effectiveness of soaps, shampoos and detergents.
• Retains important naturally occurring minerals in drinking water and, unlike salt-based water softeners, does not expose you to higher sodium levels.
• Easy installation with zero maintenance costs along with a 10 year manufacturer warranty and 1 year customer satisfaction guarantee.
• UK innovation, technology and manufacturing, using the highest quality materials and weighing a substantial 3.1KG.

Scientifically Tested And Proven

Independently tested for high performance by the University of Surrey (see test report), this salt and chemical-free water conditioner has been proven to work effectively in a harmless manner, helping home owners to extend boiler, central heating system, and kitchen equipment life, and to make energy savings going forwards. It has also been recognized by WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) as safe for drinking water. Unlike salt-based water softeners the ACP 20 produces drinking water that is safe for the whole family, including for the making of baby food.

The Manufacturer

Advanced Hydro products are recognised and respected by industry and their commercial versions have been installed, for example, at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (see prestigious installation sites). Their ACP units were specially designed as an alternative to water softeners (that use salt), with the ACP20 being a great chemical-free water conditioner for UK hard water problem areas. Advanced Hydro have total faith in their products and as such, for customer peace of mind, support this with a 10 year manufacturer warranty and 1 year no quibble customer satisfaction guarantee.
